I feel pretty nervous about traveling there and sitting in a waiting room. I hate the doctor under the…

Iron Man VR: The Kotaku Review

Iron Man feels like a perfect fit for virtual reality. In the movies, Tony Stark’s advanced armor operates like VR, with a virtual screen projected inside his helmet. So when I put on my PSVR headset and started playing Iron Man VR I felt like that famous, armor-wearing superhero. Unfortunately, I didn’t have to just…

I Loved The Last Of Us 2 Except For All The Parts I Deeply Hated

I do not like The Last Of Us 2. I didn’t like the first one either (it kinda fell apart for me in the final act) and everything I’d heard about its sequel made it sound like a carnival of violence I’d feel okay about abstaining from. And yet, despite the foul taste left from…

Riding Horses In The Last Of Us 2 Feels Great, Here’s Why

The Last of Us Part 2 is a big, big game that excels at the little things: the way Joel raises his hand to block sunlight from his eyes, or the way Ellie marks up a map of downtown Seattle with a Sharpie. Another killer small touch is the haptic feedback—the rumble you feel in…
