*Checks calendar* oh boy it’s that time of year already, when artists from around the world dream up fake Nintendo games then print them out on cartridges for us to look at them and think, oh hell yeah, why wasn’t there a No Man’s Sky for the Famicom? The cart designs are part of an…
I hope you like zombies, because there’s a lot of opportunities for attacking zombies in the next week. On the road, in a dungeon, and in a war! You could also choose to get tactical or become a space detective. This is a jam-packed week depending on what kind of games you enjoy. Death Road…
Fresh off a sponsorship from football club Paris Saint-Germain, LGD Gaming—now PSG.LGD—won this weekend’s Dota 2 Epicenter XL major, getting some prize money, circuit points, and a sweet Infinity Gauntlet. PSG.LGD got its first big points grab in the Dota pro circuit in last month’s Dota Asia Championships 2018, where the team came in 2nd.…
The Seattle Mariners announced their lineup for a game yesterday using the respectable pixelated mode of Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for the Super Nintendo yesterday, and it was actually really cool. I, for one, am incredibly proud of a brand who tries to engage with this millennial obsession with video games and…
That’s one way to wake up, I guess. An exhibition was held at Texas Showdown last night for the unreleased Soulcalibur VI. As an unreleased game, that might explain why one move didn’t go exactly as planned. It happens to the best of us. Party Wolf went on to win the exhibition in the next…
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is the lesser-loved of the games in the Dark Souls lineage, but that didn’t stop speedrunner Distortion2 from breaking the world record in the All Bosses category last night in 2:23:43 Speedruns are always a complicated act of plate spinning. On one hand, a runner has to…
In honor of the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer from earlier this week, I think it’s high time we take the ‘Shop Contest to the uh, wickey wild wild, wicky wicky wild, wicky wild, wicky wicky wild wild wild west. The Western genre is one that we don’t get too much of in video games.…
Masaya “aMSa” Chikamoto has been on a tear at this weekend’s Smash Summit 6, and yesterday he pulled off an upset on one of Melee’s best players. Chikamoto is considered the best Yoshi player in the Super Smash Bros. Melee scene, and he hails from Japan, a region that can be tough on the players…
It’s time for a spoilerific Avengers: Infinity War chat on today’s Kotaku Splitscreen First, Kirk and I talk about D&D, CEO salaries, and games as a service. Then we bring on io9‘s Evan Narcisse to talk about the latest Marvel movie’s thrills, how it’s basically part one of a TV season finale, and what we…

Boston’s 3-1 win last night against the Los Angeles Gladitaors secured a new record in the Overwatch League. Across five weeks and 10 games, the Boston Uprising won every single one and claimed the league’s first perfect stage, weathering some big storms in the process. Prior to stage 3, Boston sat squarely in the middle…
God of War is an interesting, complicated game that’s drawn a lot of attention over the past couple weeks. I didn’t enjoy it as much as some did, and that’s all because of one thing: those damned trolls. The first time we see a troll in God of War, it’s the payoff to an emotional…
Today’s playoff bracket pit the Utah Jazz and the Cleveland Cavs’ 2K squads against each other. Brandon “Hood” Caicedo, a small forward for the Cavs, ended up being the game-runner for his team, scoring over half his team’s points. This weekend’s tip-off tournament is the start of the NBA’s brand-new 2K league. It’s a fresh…
Frostpunk is an oppressive game where the world has been covered by snow and humans have to rely on ingenuity and sacrifice to survive. It’s difficult, and it’s kicking my ass so hard that I don’t want to play it anymore. But like the frostpunks themselves, I persevere. I’m not a strategy game quitter. I…
Battlefield 1‘s developers are giving away its They Shall Not Pass expansion, originally released back in March of 2017, for all owners of the game on consoles and PC until May 14. I took this opportunity to go back and play the maps, and I still think they’re some of the best ones released for…
After last night’s match against the New York Excelsior, the Shanghai Dragons have a 0-29 record in the Overwatch League, besting (worsting?) some of the longest winless droughts in professional sports history. The 29-straight losses beats out the Philadelphia 76ers, whose 28-game losing streak spanned two regular seasons before it was broken with a win…
All of the video game characters have taken a hint from Kratos and learned a little bit about growing the heck up, and this week we get to check out what they’re doing with their brand new retirement funds, mowed lawns, and hats with fish on them. I asked you to make video games grow…
It’s time for an extremely stacked weekend in competitive gaming. The next couple days are going to be filled with matches in just about every competitive vocation you could imagine. Overwatch, Dota 2, League of Legends, Hearthstone, Counter-Strike, Rocket League, Smash Bros., Street Fighter… there is a Fate/Unlimited Codes tournament this weekend. Honestly, this just…
