As another Steam Holiday Sale comes to a close, I have spent roughly $100 to purchase 22 games. In the past 2 months I have picked up 3 Humble Bundles. Not a month ago I spent around $50 on 11 games in the Steam Fall Sale. By the time the next Steam Holiday Sale rolls…

Reader Darryn built this. It’s a proton pack from Ghostbusters. It doesn’t work, in so much as it’s not an unlicensed nuclear accelerator, but it sure looks the part. Especially when paired with his uniform. You can check out Darryn’s build log right here
Robert Briscoe was the artist behind Dear Esther, a game I didn’t actually enjoy that much but which I thought was very easy on the eyes. He’s announced today that he’s flying out to Seattle to work with Valve, taking a break from the indie scene to, well, do whatever it is Valve does behind…
If Inception were a cheeseburger, this is monstrous creation is exactly what it would be. Epic Meal Time returns with a creation that is a tad baffling to figure out. The two giant buns on this thing are made of mini cheeseburgers, which then come together to make a “stuffed” pizza. The patty between these…
Track: Light Years From Home | Album: Spacehop Chronicles Vol. 1 | Artist: Bluetech Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
Nivanh Chanthara is a concept artist at Eidos Montreal, the developers of Deus Ex and Thief. Prior to that, Chanthara was at Gameloft and Beenox. We actually looked at some of Nivanh’s work last year, but he’s had such a massive influx of new (and amazing) work in his portfolio that he’s worth a second…
Carsten Riewe built this Aliens costume for the “Karneval” party in his hometown in Germany. If you’re wondering where exactly that is, it’s bay 12, please. That’s Carsten inside the suit. The “driver” is his 13 month-old daughter, strapped to his chest. The sound effects aren’t dubbed over the clip; inside the rear of the…
You might think would be a joke commercial, but nope. It’s seriously trying to help! Well, as seriously as you can get helping a man find storage space for giant robot boots, anyway.
Well, that didn’t take long Some awesome cosplay from Colleen Chee, while the pic is from photographer William Phan If you’re not sure what’s going on, or just want a recap of what happened when thousands of people tried to play Pokemon at the same time, here’s a good place to start
Here’s an excerpt from the magazine Computer Gaming World, reporting on E3 1997. Replace “real-time strategy” with “first-person shooters” and bump up the numbers a little bit—50-75MB!—and this could be from 2014. Some trends just don’t go away. (Facebook, via NeoGAF)
A Nintendo Minute video from last month featured cosplayer Li Kovacs, who took the hosts through the process of designing and building one of her amazing Zelda outfits.
For the last few years, nearly all of Kotaku’s cosplay coverage has been focused on a weekly roundup we called Fancy Pants. It was intended to serve as a collection of the best of the last week in cosplay (and cosplay photography). It was fun, but like all fun things, sooner or later it had…

Calen Brait worked on BioShock Infinite for five years as lead modeler. Amongst his other roles, he got to engage in some digital architecture and exterior design. These pieces are thus a little different from what we normally see here on Fine Art, looking more like a toy catalogue than an art collection, but that’s…

QUOTE | “[Tomb Raider has] exceeded profit expectations and continues to make significant contributions to our overall financial performance.” – Square Enix’ head of studios Darrell Gallagher, explaining why the game is on its way to becoming the best-selling version in the franchise’s history. Elsewhere in the business of video games this past week ……
Alexandre “Zedig” Diboine currently works at Activision. If you think that means he draws army men all day, though, you couldn’t be further from the truth. He works at Beenox, a studio that’s mostly done Skylanders stuff. And his art is some of the cheeriest, most vibrant we’ve shown here this year. In fact, it’s…
