As WWE ‘Monitors’ The Saudi Arabia Situation, I’m Canceling My WWE Network Subscription

As a fan of anything that you pay a lot of attention to, you accept a certain amount of, let’s call it, imperfection. That’s too polite, of course, for pro wrestling, given the amount of sexism, homophobia, and racial caricature baked into wrestling’s past. But you hope and at times agitate for things to improve.…

‘Zoo Warlock’ Is A Powerful Hearthstone Deck That Anyone Can Play

Hearthstone decks come and go, but certain strategies are so prevalent that they never really disappear. Minion-heavy “Zoo Warlock” decks have always been around in some way or another, but throughout the game’s current Boomsday Project expansion, it’s been one of the strongest decks in the game. Just as “aggro” decks aim to kill the…

Strange Flesh Is Like Streets Of Rage With Much More Sex 

Joe is an office drone. Joe is miserable. Joe is unhappy. Joe is repressed. Joe is horny. NSFW Warning: This post contains NSFW imagery! Luckily for Joe, Strange Flesh is all about breaking free from all that—not through therapy or medication, but through the magic of getting beaten up and seduced by a big beefy…

Two Saiyans Descend on Hearthstone‘s Fall Championship

Autumn began almost a month ago, but the weather here in the Northeast was slow to catch up. Today it did, however, with a swampy 80 degrees giving way to leaf-rustling winds and low 60s, just in time for this weekend’s Hearthstone Fall Championship. The pull of Dragon Ball Z continues to bend the rest…

Vaulting Kicks Ass In Call Of Duty‘s New Battle Royale Mode

If you liked PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, but couldn’t stomach its uneven gameplay, you’re going to love the polish that Call of Duty is bringing to the battle royale genre. One thing that adds that waxy shine to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s battle royale mode, out today, is how good the game is at letting…

The 3D On The 3DS Was Good

I thought I wouldn’t care about Nintendo’s newest 3DS release. I played Luigi’s Mansion on the GameCube ages ago. I liked its 3DS sequel better. I did not feel the need to go back and play the first one. Plus, it’s the Nintendo Switch era and there’s even a Luigi’s Mansion coming to that. Then…

The World Ends With You: Final Remix: The Kotaku Review

If you have never played The World Ends With You before, the Nintendo Switch version released on Thursday night is not a bad way to get into it. Final Remix retains the game’s great sense of humor, its fantastic music, and Tetsuya Nomura’s most restrained character designs. But if you have played it before—say, if…

Japanese Fast Food Chain Mos Burger Is In Trouble 

This hasn’t been a good past few months for one of my favorite fast food chains, Mos Burger. With more than just tasty burgers, Mos Burger (Mountain Ocean Sun Burger) has cultivated its image of being a healthy alternative to McDonald’s. Advertisements tout domestic produce and freshness, going as far as listing where the veggies…

Brazilian Government Calls For Removal Of Violent Far-Right Game From Steam

Does an overtly low-budget game in which a controversial politician smacks down black and gay people count as “straight up trolling” by Valve’s new anything-goes standards? Is it an effort to “incite and sow discord”—which Valve also recently said can be disqualifying? These are the questions surrounding Bolsomito 2K18, a game that’s now being investigated…

The Dreamcast 2 Is A Custom-Painted Switch Possessed By The Ghost Of Sega’s Past

I never really thought much about the Dreamcast until it had all but vanished. By then, it had become a minor obsession of mine: a major console with weird games I’d heard and read so much about, but never gotten to play. The Dreamcast had a short life span in stores and friend’s houses, getting…

The Missing Is A Sweet But Gory Puzzle Game

The Missing begins with two messages: “This game was made with the belief that nobody is wrong for being what they are” and “This game contains explicit content, including extreme violence, sexual topics, and depictions of suicide.” The messages cut straight to the chase: The Missing is both a sweet love story and one of…

Overwatch‘s Boops Have Gotten Out Of Control

Over the last few months, Overwatch has looked less like a team shooter and more like the inside of a microwave bag of popcorn. A popular and beloved crowd control mechanic called the “boop” has become so prevalent that it’s causing anguish from players who would rather compete at a first-person shooter than pop idly…

GTA Online‘s Remixed Modes Shake Up The Game

GTA Online’s newest game modes might seem familiar. That’s because Rockstar has recently begun remixing old modes by adding new vehicles, rules or other features. While this isn’t the first time Rockstar has taken something old and added to it, these new remix modes freshen up GTA Online by drawing on what works best about…

The Making Of Nintendo’s Best Nose-Picking Game

We sometimes hear the tales behind the making of Nintendo’s greatest games: the Zeldas, the Marios and the Metroids. Let us bend our ears for another tale, this time of the making of Gold Digger, a game about a finger interacting with a nose. Gold Digger was co-created by Goro Abe, a longtime developer at…

Activision Says Call of Duty Mega Bloks Toys Are Not Aimed At Kids

Call of Duty is one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world, and Activision licenses the brand out to other companies to make merchandise. A lot of the stuff you’ll see the Call of Duty name plastered across seems to be designed for children, which is raising some questions: Why is Activision selling stuff…
