The Sims 4 launched this week. We’ve been having a lot of fun with the game so far. But we’ve also encounter a few hurdles along the way. Don’t worry, though, because many of these obstacles are easily overcome with a few small changes. Here is a list of adjustments I’ve discovered over the past…
I’ve been playing The Sims 4 nonstop since Monday. Despite seeing various reports of players encountering glitches and bugs, my first few hours with it went over smoothly. No demon babies, no accidental dates with the grim reaper, nothing. The game ran like a dream. Then, late last night when I booted up the game…
Well…ok. I didn’t see this coming. Turns out, LittleBigPlanet 3 isn’t going to be the next game in Media Molecule’s excellent series of rucksack-themed platformers. Because next month Sony is planning to release a Temple Run-style mobile game called Run Sackboy! Run! The company was careful not to brand this as an “endless runner” in…

The Sims 4 came out today. We here at Kotaku haven’t had enough time with the game to give it a proper review, but I still wanted to pull myself away from obsessively tinkering with my new virtual ant farm to put some thoughts in writing. What follows is a list of some of my…

BioShock is a classic first-person shooter. Getting the game on your iPhone and iPad might therefore seem like a steal—even if it’s a hefty $14.99 one. But don’t be fooled by the high-profile mobile port that came out last week: this is not BioShock as I remember it. BioShock on iOS—or, as I like to…
Nintendo made a few changes to Mario Kart 8 this week—some big, some small, some the size of a luxury car brand’s new SUV. If nothing else, this gives us a good opportunity to pause and reflect on how one of the summer’s biggest games is doing. So let’s do that. I’ve been playing Mario…

Nintendo woke us all up early this morning with a fresh batch of information about a new and improved 3DS mobile console it’s making.

Nintendo has always had a special knack for making gorgeous themed cases for the 3DS. For the new model announced this morning, they’re doing gamers one better: releasing standalone faceplates that allow you to customize your personal console. Predictably, they look pretty great. This mushroom one is probably my favorite. It’s like you’re carrying your…

Toy Story is a great movie. But like any great movie about toys that magically come to life when people aren’t around to see them, some things about it just don’t stand up to scrutiny. Be warned: you’re about to have your childhood ruined. In their latest video, the good people at CinemaSins put the…
“Calling the derision of Anita Sarkeesian rational debate is an insult to both her and the idea of debating ideas.” Writing for The New Statesman, Ian Steadman gives a thorough and well-reasoned rebuttal of many of the most popular arguments raised against feminist critic Anita Sarkeesian ever since she started her Tropes vs. Women in…

The company just announced a handful of new titles that will be coming to the mobile console, and they all seem very promising. Four, to be exact. Let me present each of them in turn.…
“Superstition, myth, and religion offer rationales that fill in the empty spaces between performance and results.” That’s Ian Bogost being his transcendent self in an excellent essay on the Flappy Bird sequelSwing Copters for The Atlantic.
