There’s No Question. This Is The Best Master Chief Cosplay There Is.
Don’t argue with it. Just let the beauty of this amazingly hilarious Master Chief cosplay sink in to your memory, to be recalled at a really inappropriate moment when you should not be laughing. The professor/your boss will understand. The dog might, too. Photographer David Ngo stumbled on this lovely being on Sunday of this…

How to Keep Up with E3’s Biggest News Right Here on Kotaku
Electronic Entertainment Expo. E3. Say it with me. It’s going to be one hell of a week for us here at Kotaku, as we’ll be scrambling to cover every corner of the convention center bringing you news, impressions and possibly some silly pictures. I don’t know yet. It’s not E3 time yet, stop asking me…

Glide Through The Beautiful, Thundering Skies Of A Firefly’s Adventure
I love thunderstorms. They’re oddly relaxing. I love fireflies, too, and anyone who also grew up in a backyard full of them might understand why. I also love games that are beautiful, and Light the Night is one such game. Playing as a firefly (or lightning bug), you zip through dark skies—by moving your finger…

Launching Off Of Exploding Cars And Other GTA: IV Shenanigans
It’s no secret that it’s fun to get in trouble in Rockstar’s open world Grand Theft Auto series. Even this machinima director couldn’t resist the urge to get his hands dirty in the midst of filming. Which is fortunate for us, because now we get to see massive explosions and cars flying through the air.…

We’re Getting a DC Fighting Game From the Makers of Mortal Kombat
What’s this? An official Injustice website featuring Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash? Perhaps DC Comics’ superheroes will be joining an ‘Injustice League’ for a new fighting game, slated for a 2013 release on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U. In 2008, the same team made Mortal Kombat vs. D.C. Universe, so they have…

One Year Later, Did Nintendo Keep Their E3 2011 Promises?
For the fourth year in a row, we’re comparing E3 hype to gaming reality. Sony was the subject of our first investigation. Today we check out Nintendo and will follow with Microsoft’s E3 2011 promises on Thursday, at 1pm ET. Nintendo had two, maybe three focuses at last year’s E3 press conference. The most obvious…

Skyrim Would Be Infinitely More Amazing If You Played As Dovahbear
A Dovahbear walks into a bar in Skyrim for some honey mead. Stop me if you’ve heard this one. It ends in a round of bear versus dragon, and I don’t think there’s a battle I want to see more than that. Bethesda’s Skyrim would be a billion times more adorable if the protagonist was…

One Brave Battlefield 3 Soldier Takes On An Entire Army To Kill A Pesky Sniper
Snipers, man, amirite? They’re fiends. They find one good corner where even a scope glare won’t give them away, and they pick you off one by one. Well this Russian soldier isn’t having any of that. He takes on the entire slew of US enemies to get to the problematic sharpshooter. Will his bravery be…

The Best of Kotaku, This Week
I’ve featured deviantART user wazzy88 here on Kotaku before. But, being a huge fan of Wall-E, I couldn’t help but feature his Pokéball work again. Wazzy88 has plenty of other half Pokémon, half other nerdy things that I also enjoy up on his deviantART page that you should check out. Moving on to our Best…

Taking Comment of the Week Submissions
Well I bet you weren’t expecting this one, were you? Last week I made a bold attempt at simplifying the comment of the week submissions for Best of Kotaku. It was a great idea, spurred by you guys. Unfortunately, I can’t make that system—involving what is a broken tag page—work for us. So we’re going…

People Are Playing Diablo III In All Sorts Of Places Now
In your basement, cuddled up next to your cat, on a mountain, and now on a tablet. Kotaku reader Wojtek wanted to see what running Diablo III on a touch device would be like, so he set the game up on his Samsung Series 7, which runs Windows. He describes the experience as functioning, as…

Unfortunately There Are No Rehab Clinics for Addiction To Scramble With Friends
You’re probably at least somewhat familiar with Scramble With Friends. Similar to Zynga’s Words With Friends, you trade knowledge and skill of a wordsmith against your friends, or random online opponents. This isn’t a new game by any means. It’s just one we haven’t featured often here at Kotaku, but one that I’m still completely…
