Everything I Know About Bungie’s Next First-Person Shooter, Destiny
The creators of Halo aren’t leaving their face-shooting skills behind. Destiny, Bungie’s first new game since they parted ways with Microsoft, looks and sounds like a first-person shooter—even if they don’t like calling it that. I flew to Seattle this week to get the official reveal of Destiny, or at least what teases Bungie and…

Conan O’Brien Also Thinks Halo 4‘s Cortana Is Pretty Hot
Watching someone who isn’t too familiar with video games try their hand at Halo 4 can be pretty hilarious. But when it’s Conan O’Brien testing out 343’s first entry in the series, it’s that much funnier. Even if he does roll his eyes a little too much at the storyline. I mean, I get it.…

If We’re Lucky, Crysis 3 Will Have The Heart of Halo 4 And The Innards Of Far Cry 3
As much as first-person shooters evolve—what with new weapons, armor abilities, and creepy new alien enemies (if we’re talking the sci-fi brand)—there’s always a key component to any good game that most seem to miss the mark on. Humanity. We forget that the protagonist is perhaps more than the silent, big-bodied bulk of strength capable…

The Cute Scavenger Bot In Dead Space 3 Is Less Cute When You Realize It Wants Your Money
There’s a handy little robot in Dead Space 3. It’s designed to collect resources for you in the new sci-fi horror game, released for Xbox 360 and PS3 today. But as helpful as it is, it may be a little too helpful. Like, too helpful at getting you to open your wallet. We already know…

ReviewsDead Space 3: The Kotaku Review
I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but…. Dead Space 3 is boring. Let’s rewind a bit. In 2008 we were graced with EA’s first Dead Space title. This was a claustrophobic horror game, filled with mystery and an obviously grander, more complex universe than we, as players during that first go, could comprehend.…

Say Hello To Kotaku‘s Most Far-Flung Editors (And Team NYC)
Last month we had Kirk, Owen and Fahey visit us at headquarters from their respective US cities. This month Luke and Ash visited from Australia and Japan, respectively, and of course I made sure to get our group picture in after our team dinner last night. We had kangaroo. Sorry Luke. Oh, and, Kirk’s ghost…

Normal Clocks Are Stupid. This LEGO Contraption Knows What’s Up.
LEGO really are amazing little blocks, aren’t they? You can build insane contraptions out of bunches of them, including custom clocks. Custom clocks that actually work. Jason Allemann built this neat-looking clock that you see in the video above. It probably won’t be a replacement to whatever alarm-capable, and otherwise noise-free clock you’re currently using,…

If Mario Starred In Grand Theft Auto
We’ve posted one of Amirul Hafiz‘s Mario X GTA creations before, but he’s recently created a few more. I couldn’t help but share them with you all, especially because that Bowser one is genius. Potential new phone background? Definitely a contender. And here’s a bonus Sonic conversion to GTA. Mario Mugshot [deviantART via CyberWolf]

Ni no Kuni Is Gorgeous, Reviewers Agree. But Not Everyone Is Head Over Heels.
I heard this one thing this one time. I heard that Ni no Kuni is whimsical? Have you heard that? I dunno man, I just heard it randomly somewhere. From the harshest critiques to the more forgiving ones, I’ve gathered the range of review scores pulled from Metacritic. Everyone definitely agrees this Studio Ghibli/Level-5 collaboration…

I Like The Part Where Their Limbs Turn Into Pixels
This new song by Xilent and uploaded by UKFDubstep is meant to be representative of the “boss wave” experience in video games. Or at least that’s what the name—Boss Wave—suggests. I know that dubstep in video game trailers is spreading quick as a virus these days, and a lot of it can be pretty shitty…
