Capcom Is Bringing DuckTales Back
Capcom announced today at their PAX East panel that they’re resurrecting the beloved DuckTales platformer. Developed by Wayforward and Capcom, DuckTales: Remastered is something of a remake based on the original Nintendo version of DuckTales. It’ll be out this summer for Xbox Live, PSN, and Wii U. DuckTales, originally released for the NES way back…

You Can Literally Kill People With Dubstep In Saints Row IV
What does six minutes’ worth of a hands-off PAX East demo of the new Saints Row get you? Not much, but it’s worth sharing simply because of the expected, and utterly ridiculous weapons that were shown. Though, if you have a quick eye for details, you’ll likely have noticed most of this in the first…

I Would Cry Real Tears Of Joy If I Could Ride This Minecraft Beetlejuice Roller Coaster
Wow. This thing is elaborate! (Word of warning, if you don’t like dubstep or anything like it, you should just mute the video now. I personally like the song just fine.) According to YouTuber nuropsych1, it took their team roughly two months on the Xbox 360’s creative mode to create this beast. It would probably…

This Minecraft Trailer Has Convinced Me. Assassin’s Creed Needs More Gladiator In It.
YouTuber/animator avemagnadude mashed together a few concepts from Assassin’s Creed III trailers, but there’s a distinct Gladiator feel here, too. Did you pick up on it? Those references, combined with dramatic, slow-motion throws of Connor’s tomahawk and a fantastic track (I need to have that track) make me want to see a Gladiator-styled Assassin’s Creed…

Look At How *Advanced* These SimCity Citizens Are
Oh, so this is what they meant when they said you could follow a Sim throughout their entire day. Either this is some awful AI, or the Sims are really just that effing boring. I lean toward the former. Thanks, manlytearsv, for the tip and the upload.

How To Turn Your Dirt Bike Into A Moving Bomb In Battlefield 3‘s New DLC
Cutting to the chase, you throw a bunch of C4 on it, obviously. Battlefield 3 recently got some new DLC, called End Game. One of the more interesting new features in the 1.8GB download (the file size for the 360) is the dirt bike. You can have some fun experimenting with it, and that’s just…

Dead Space 3: Awakened: The Kotaku Review
I’m having a hard time remembering Dead Space 3 It’s not that I’ve recently become afflicted with amnesia or anything like that. I just don’t find the game all that memorable. If you read my review, you’ll know that I had my share of gripes with the third title in what was previously known to…

Proof That There’s Some Creepiness Left In Dead Space 3, Thanks To New Content
One of my biggest problems with Dead Space 3 is that it is utterly lacking in the hallucination department. What happened to all those twisted, freaky things I witnessed in the first two titles? Playing as Isaac got you close to zero hallucinations. You could get minor satisfaction in co-op while playing as Carver, but…

Watch Players Pull Off Stunts With Battlefield 3‘s New Dirt Bike
You know what every first-person shooter needs? I mean, besides guns? Dirt bikes. And every other high-speed vehicle imaginable. Because if shooting a helicopter down with an RPG is fun, it’s even more fun when doing so while also riding a dirt bike. The latest expansion to Battlefield 3, End Game, introduced a few new…

Look At This Cool Journey Hoodie That You Can’t Have
I was browsing Reddit casually last night and stumbled on this seemingly well-made Journey hoodie by user volpinazzurra (you can only tell so much from pictures). “It’s reversible, too,” I excitedly proclaimed to myself and my cat. Quickly check the comments and…oh. Not for sale. Not on Etsy. Probably can’t bribe volpinazzurra with cookies and…

The Best Of Kotaku, This Week
Welcome to the Best of Kotaku, where I round up all of this week’s best content. I’m back from vacation (with a slight tan and a cold) and ready to unleash this pretty, wooden Atari 2600 at you. It’s currently running for $1.2k on ebay. Or, if that’s too much for you, you can always…

Observe Modded Minecraft Cycle Beautifully Through The Four Seasons
The four seasons are all beautiful in their own rights, even if I do want to stab winter with its own icicles right about now. So while you’re pillaging the land and creating massive structures, why not mimic the season you see outside your window inside your computer window? If you do decide to download…
