Breath Of The Wild Gets Its First Custom Dungeon

The latest Zelda didn’t include traditional dungeons (no, shrines don’t count), but that hasn’t stopped HailToDodongofrom building one and getting it working inside the emulated PC version of the game. Seeing as it’s only been two weeks since the tools (which HailToDodongo also made, hence the speed) to allow this were first released, this is…

Starbase is a ludicrously ambitious-sounding space MMO. Developer Frozenbyte (of Trine fame) describes it as “a hybrid voxel/vertex-based space MMO with a fully destructible and infinitely expanding universe,” which basically means ship construction in the vein of Space Engineers married to the scope of Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen. There’s even an in-game programming language. It’s…

Twitch’s Artifact Category Is Porn-Filled Anarchy

There are, as you are probably already aware, not many people playing Artifact, the digital card game that developer Valve recently decided to take back to the drawing board. Just a hundred or so people are playing it at any given moment, as of this writing. There are, however, over 10,000 people watching streamers play…

Watch Someone Destroy Beat Saber With A Hand Mixer

Beat Saber is a virtual reality rhythm game where you chop red and blue blocks with correspondingly colored lightsabers. It requires a lot of coordination and precise movements. Or you could do what one player did and just strap your VR controllers to a handheld cake mixer. YouTuber hu hu says he scavenged through his…

Super Mario Maker 2 Won’t Let You Play Online With Friends

Nintendo showed off Super Mario Maker 2’s new four-player competitive and co-op online modes earlier this month, and the company has now confirmed that players will only be able to matchmake online with random people, not their friends. Earlier today, Nintendo World Report reported that a Nintendo Treehouse representative had told it at a press…

Godzilla: King of the Monsters: The Kotaku Review

It’s fitting that the first few minutes of Godzilla: King of the Monsters are a flashback. The movie, which is a sequel to Legendary Pictures’ 2014 Godzilla, feels like a natural evolution of the previous film. In some ways, it’s a better movie—rather, a better Godzilla movie. In other ways, it’s not. Gareth Edward’s Godzilla…

The Most Essential Sims 4 Clothing Mods

I can hardly keep up with clothing trends in real life, so it’s not surprising that four years after release, clothing in The Sims 4 feels a bit dated. If you’re also searching for the perfect pair of jeans for your Sim, check out some of the best mods for the clothing and body. I’ve…

Streets Of Rage 2 Champ Pulls Off Nigh Impossible No Death Mania Run

Speedrunner Anthopants is one of the best Streets of Rage players in the world, but even he couldn’t complete Streets of Rage 2 on Mania difficulty as the character Max without dying…until this weekend, that is, when he downed the final boss with a mere sliver of health left. His reaction upon becoming the first…

Konami Reveals Full Contra Anniversary Lineup, And It’s Pretty Great

Konami’s upcoming Contra Anniversary Collection will include the NES version of Contra, the Sega Genesis game Contra: Hard Corps, and most other 8- and 16-bit games in the classic run-and-gun series, including the Japanese and European versions of the games—some of which are quite different from what we got in the U.S. The collection still…

Former Rockstar Designer Says Former Top Executive Groped Him

When Colin Bundschu first started at Rockstar Games in November of 2014, he says his new colleagues offered a warning: Don’t cross Jeronimo Barrera. Barrera, the vice president of product development, would often fly in from New York to visit Rockstar’s offices in Carlsbad, California, where they were all working on the Western game Red…

Dungeon Crawlers Make Me Question What I’m Doing With My Life

I’ve been staring at my 3DS a lot lately. It sits on a shelf in front of my TV, not because I use it often but because I might pick it up again sometime. I do the same thing with books, leaving them out in sight so I remember to maybe try and read them.…

‘If You’re Playing EVE Online You Basically Already Have An MBA,’ Says Player Who Built His Own Company [UPDATE]

For a game seemingly about immortal pilots waging interstellar wars, EVE Online has a surprising amount of ties to reality. Stories from EVE often play out on stages far beyond the confines of the game world and reach audiences far beyond its players. Sometimes, skills learned in the cut throat world of EVE can change…
