Indigo Prophecy Has One Of The Best Opening Levels Ever Made

I know all of you, or at least most of you, folks reading this don’t want to murder someone. But I also know most people think about how they would get away with a crime, like murder, every once and a while. Luckily, we rarely need to wiggle our way out of a murder, so…

Star Wars Games Don’t Always Need To Include Jedi

Star Wars is a large universe with thousands of characters, planets, ships, and aliens. And yet, again and again, most Star Wars games seem to focus on or include one part of the franchise. The Jedi. Those wild space monks with lightsabers and force powers. I love a good Jedi game as much as any…

‘Shop Contest: Baby Sonic, Winners!

Last week I asked you folks to create some images featuring the cute Baby Sonic. I also learned that some people get really angry when you call Baby Sonic, Baby Sonic. Apparently he’s too old to be a baby or something…? I don’t know. Moving on. Our winning image this week comes from MonoArtan who…

Remembering The Sad Sharks And Dolphins Of GTA San Andreas

When I was younger, about 14, I remember jumping into the waters of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, swimming around and exploring. I did this a lot. I had been playing San Andreas, at that point, for months. And then, I saw something strange. I thought I saw a shark. Digging around online for info…

Some NPCs In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Look Scary Up Close

If you dig around Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, you will find some interesting stuff out of bounds. For example, a bunch of cool, unused stuff is hidden beneath some planets. But there are also some terrifying low-poly NPCs that players weren’t meant to see up close. Popular Youtube channel, Boundary Break, released a new…

Sadly, the last Mario Maker Contest didn’t receive enough levels for me to properly do a winners post. I’ll probably end this contest moving forward, but thanks to everyone who participated in the past contests!

This Breakfast Looks Deliciously Real But Was Actually Made In Dreams

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, according to science and my mom. But while this big plate of breakfast looks tasty, it sadly can’t be eaten. This entire meal was not made in a real kitchen but was actually created in the video game Dreams on PS4. The delicious image was created…

100 Street Fighters Drop On To An Island…

Great Kotaku Content From The Past Week The…

Who Even Wants An Uncharted Movie?

I love the Uncharted games. I’ve played through all of them at least a few times. I’m currently looking to buy a PS Vita just to play through Uncharted Golden Abyss again. Yet, I have nearly zero interest in an Uncharted film. And I don’t think I’m alone. Even if millions upon millions of people…
