It’s Time For A New Pushmo Game

I’ve waited patiently and now, after almost 5 years, it is time for a new Pushmo game. I think we have all waited long enough. (Good job everyone, by the way!) The Nintendo Switch is a perfect console for a new Pushmo game and Mallo is a good boy who deserves a new game. When…

‘Shop Contest: RIP Mr. Peanut, Winners

Last weekend I gave you all the much-needed task of having some fun and enjoying the life of Mr. Peanut. He sadly died recently and I don’t expect he will return at all. Nope. Never. Our winning image this week comes from punxsutawneyphil who gives us the true Uncharted sequel we have all been wanting. I…

Donkey Kong Has Mouths On His Feet And I Hate It

I could have gone my whole life without ever knowing this fact. But now I know it, and now you, too, know this fact. In Mario Kart Wii, Donkey Kong has mouths on his feet. If I have to live with this image and thought in my head, so do you. It is only fair.…

Get Back You Eight-Legged Freaks!

This week on Snapshots, too many creepy hands in Hellblade, getting slapped in Red Dead, cool-looking space ships in No Man’s Sky, breaking glass in Mirror’s Edge and dealing with a really big spider in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Yes, I’ve featured a lot of Star Wars photos in these first few Snapshots and…

Mario Maker Contest: Water, Water Everywhere

Water levels often are terrible. But sometimes, if they are done just right, they can be…mostly not terrible. Let’s make some mostly not terrible or even good Mario levels using water! Your Challenge This Week: Create levels featuring large water sections or set entirely underwater. Don’t feel like you need to make the whole level…

Over 36,000 Flash Games Have Been Saved And Are Now Playable Offline

Flash will die as nearly all major web browsers will remove Flash support on Dec. 31, 2020. Luckily, all that content won’t be thanks to Flashpoint.

Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 Is A Chaotic Cooking Game Set In The Back Of A Food Truck Driven By Cyborgs

Cooking food can be a relaxing or even therapeutic activity. But not in Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! That’s because you are cooking in the back of a moving food truck driven by two cyborgs in a dystopian future. In that case, things are a bit more…chaotic. CSD3 is the third entry in the Cook, Serve,…

Welcome To Hell, Garfield

Hello! This week we learn just how much money Ninja made switching to Mixer, play music using old TVs, learn more about Torchlight 3, watch a cool Cuphead fan video and see what Garfield is doing in Hell. Great Kotaku Content From The Past Week I understand WHY they aren’t making new singleplayer floors to…

Journey To The Savage Planet: The Kotaku Review

We get a lot of funny video games. We get a lot of strange games. But wacky video games are rare. Journey to the Savage Planet, a short new sci-fi first-person shooter, is, despite some flaws, wonderfully wacky. In this game, you don’t punch enemies. You slap them, complete with a comedic thwack sound. Alien…

The Week In Games: Something Need Doing?

Get ready to build some barracks and click some peons—Warcraft III: Reforged is coming out this week for PC and Mac. I’ve barely played World of Warcraft, but I’ve played HOURS of Warcraft 3. I would make my own maps, play online with random players or play the campaign. To this day, my brother and…

What Video Game Level Have You Played The Most?

A great level is like a warm bowl of mac and cheese. You can come back to it whenever you need to feel good and happy. Without thinking you can load it up and know you are going to be okay. So what level do you keep coming back to over the years? When I…

‘Shop Contest: RIP Mr. Peanut (1916-2020)

We lost a good one. A few days ago Mr. Peanut, the famous mascot himself, was confirmed dead after sacrificing his life for two nobodies that honestly weren’t worth his death. Let us celebrate the life of Mr. Peanut in this dark time. Your challenge this week: Add Mr. Peanut to games, movies, TV shows,…

Mountain Dew Zero Sugar Isn’t Great (But It’s Better Than Diet Dew)

I’ll admit I was excited about Moutain Dew Zero Sugar, which for the rest of this post I will be referring to as just Zero. I was excited because I really don’t drink soda anymore, outside of reviews, mainly because I’ve been trying to cut my sugar intake down in recent years. So a new…

‘Shop Contest: Goku Needs A Better Game, Winners!

Last weekend I asked you folks to help poor Goku out. He saves the world all the time and still has to appear in some really mediocre and bad video games. Thanks for looking out for Kakarot in his time of need. Our winning image this week comes from Mrichston who creates the next great…

Oh No, Is The Bear Behind Me?

This week on Snapshots, big explosions in Ghost Recon, angry Star Wars people, a lonely little hat in Red Dead Redemption II, colorful fireworks in Mad Max and one really scary bear. That Days Gone photo makes me want to go back and explore that world more and maybe also eventually beat that game. I…

Wrath Is A Retro Shooter Done Right

The first gun you pick up in a shooter is very important. It tells you a lot about the game. In Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, the first gun you get is a chunky and powerful revolver that can also shoot three bullets at the same time, turning it into a mini-shotgun. So yeah, Wrath is…
