Rayman Legends Is More Collaborative Than Origins, But Just As Fun
At a Nintendo event in New York yesterday, I got to play two quick rounds of Rayman Legends. If you’ve played a Rayman game, particularly the recently-released Rayman Origins, the game will be instantly familiar to you. Side-scrolling adventures with up to five players make Rayman Legends the perfect party game platformer, with guaranteed giggles…

Tell Me You Don’t Want To Go To Hawaii After Seeing These Pictures
One of my favorite things ever on earth is crisp, clear blue water. Throw a dash of sunlight on that, and bam. Perfection. This shot of a curling wave in Hawaii looks pretty fantastic. It also looks pretty. If you look at it as a small thumbnail, it kind of looks like a Monet painting,…

Don’t Be Fooled By The Cuteness of These Kid Superheroes
Kid or not, these super heroes (and some villains) are 100% committed to their personas. Being 3 feet tall won’t stop Thor from raising to the skies to invoke the strength of lightning. Magneto will go inside when his mother calls him for dinner, but not until he rips the swings off their chains. Even…

Build Your Own Super-Ugly LEGO House In Google Chrome
Hey, look! There’s this new thing on Google Chrome where you can build stuff with LEGO. It’s part of a new partnership, and it’s super cool. But don’t judge by my horrendous creation that you see above. You can build stuff right on the map of Australia or New Zealand in rotatable 3D, and share…

Adult Swim Continues To Hit ‘Em Out Of The Park
I don’t think I’ve come across a single Adult Swim game on the iTunes App store that I didn’t like. They’re all fairly consistently amazing when it comes to gameplay, art, and the quintessential quirky/weird personality that is so in tune with my own. Velocirapture is another that hits that trifecta. It’s a fairly basic…

Pft, And They Said Watching TV Doesn’t Impact Your Actions
If this DayZ video proves anything, it’s that watching TV most certainly impacts your actions. At least your virtual, inconsequential ones, anyway. [spoiler]Remember that scene in The Walking Dead where Shane shoots Otis to escape the zombies chasing them?[end spoiler] This betrayal in a round of Arma II mod, DayZ, is pretty much the same…

I Have No Idea What’s Going On In This Game, But I’m Fascinated
This stop-motion horror game is downright creepy. It reminds me a lot of Limbo, given this somewhat vague description from the student project: Candle is an experimental stop motion survival horror game. In Candle you play as a puppet boy made from wood, cloth and entrails. Trapped underground, you must tunnel your way out, all…

The Best of Kotaku, This Week
Welcome to the Best of Kotaku, where I round up all of this week’s best content. First up is the image above, a mesh of Portal‘s Chell and Norman Rockwell’s depiction of Rosie the Riveter, an icon of the female factory workers that rose from the absence of their husbands in World War II. An…

Screw Bullets. I Want To Shoot BMWs Out Of My Guns.
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed how keen I am on shooting guns. Sometimes while simultaneously driving an ATV. It’s not safe, don’t do that. So when I saw this video of the BMW M5 mimicking those slow-motion bullet montages, I almost fell over. It’s, like, two of my favorite things!…

Real-Life Pokémon Moves Are All Fun and Games Until Someone Meets A Psychic
From the special effect stylings of one Wren the Reaper comes this latest video chock full of awesome Pokémon moves. This video makes me really, really want some sort of magical powers. Imagine being able to blast people with Ember. I certainly wouldn’t have to deal with crowds in the subway stations anymore, that’s for…

Wooing Women Is Damn Hard Work
If someone were to tell me I’d be required to use my social skills in a game, there are a few conclusions I might draw. I’d think they meant coordinating a group effort in something like Left 4 Dead or restraining my temper against adolescents suggesting I “probably work at Hooters” (it’s happened, folks). What…

Car Races Are More Fun When Tanks and RPGs Are Involved
I mean, look at all the pretty explosions you get as a result! Granted, one RPG carrier’s shot gets thwarted in this Battlefield 3 machinima, but you have to imagine that a few went through, what with all the previously noted pretty explosions. BF3 Death Race | Producer – Mr Kees de Koning , Co-Producer…
