Ain’t No Party Like A Smash Bros. Party

Since Smash Bros.’ roster is drawn from other games, you might have thought it was impossible to cosplay as something genuinely, 100% Smash Bros. But that would be overlooking the humble Party Ball toddallthetime made this for GaymerX, and it is just too perfect.

Overwatch‘s Symmetra Is Getting A ‘Dramatic’ Overhaul

I love how unique Symmetra is as both a hero and a character, but… I’m a total trainwreck with her. Given that she’s one of Overwatch’s least-played characters, I’m guessing a lot of people share my sentiment. As part of a wide-ranging developer update, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan shed some light on Symmetra’s evolution.…

The Latest Hitman Episode Is The Good Kind Of Difficult

Hitman’s latest episode, “Freedom Fighters,” is very serious. Agent 47 infiltrates a militia compound in Colorado in pursuit of four targets. There’s not a lot of room for fun on the compound, for Rube Goldberg-esque murder traps that make Hitman memorable, but this fifth episode is great in another way. It’s hard Colorado’s targets are…

PS4 Skyrim And Fallout Are Getting Mods After All, But They Will Be Limited

Last month, Bethesda seemed to give up on the prospect of bringing mod support to the PS4 versions of Fallout 4 and Skyrim, saying that Sony just wasn’t having it. Now, though, both companies have made some compromises. Today Bethesda announced that mod support is coming to Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition on PS4.…

SteelSeries’ New Gaming Headsets Are Nothing Fancy, And That’s Great

I don’t know about a “complete overhaul of traditional gaming designs and headset technologies” as touted in the PR for SteelSeries’ new Arctis line of game-centric headwear, but they sound great, mic well and are incredibly comfortable. Plus they look good on professional DOTA 2 player Suma1l, so there’s that. No glaring lights, no honking…

Hi! It’s me, your favorite Guardian. Let’s talk about Iron Banner for a second. Yesterday, Destiny’s week-long PvP tournament returned with a twist.

Minecraft’s Latest Update Adds Some Cool Stuff, But Still Falls Short

After much hinting, foreshadowing, and teasing, the newest Minecraft snapshot is out, showing us at long last what the much vaunted ‘exploration update’ has in store. The most exciting addition for this most recent update is the ‘shulker box’, an item built out of the newly added shulker husks, that finally upgrades your storage capabilities.…

Starter Pokémon’s ‘Feminine’ Evolution Is Bothering Some Fans

Poor Popplio can’t catch a break. First people hated Sun and Moon’s water starter because it was considered ugly. Yesterday, Game Freak revealed Popplio’s evolution, Brionne, leading some fans to feel like they have even more reason to dislike the evolution line. The problem? Brionne looks too ‘feminine.’ On social media, people are criticizing Brionne’s…

Paper Mario: Color Splash: The Kotaku Review

I love when Nintendo games aren’t afraid to be weird. Paper Mario: Color Splash is funnier and more irreverent than anything else on the Wii U, occupying a strange, occasionally conflicted territory somewhere between platform-adventure and RPG. Paper Mario was once the only Mario role-playing series, but that’s changed since the handheld Mario & Luigi…

DC Super Hero Girls Sets Make The Most Of Lego’s Friends Line

Lego’s girl-focused Friends line, which replaces the traditional minifigures with something closer to tiny plastic dolls, can rub certain collectors the wrong way. Making the tiny plastic dolls DC Comics characters, as Lego is doing with six new DC Super Hero Girls sets, certainly helps. I’m a big fan of the DC Super Hero Girls…

Batman Arkham VR: The Kotaku Review

The hero of Batman: Arkham VR is a little clumsy. His hands shake from time to time. He sometimes drops his Batarangs. He doesn’t drive his own Batmobile, and he spends a lot of time standing in place as other people move around him. This Batman is not the aspirational, acrobatic crusader game creators usually…
