Two Iowan men who were arrested in August of 2015 for apparent gun threats at the Pokémon World Championships were sentenced to two years in prison today in a Boston court. James Stumbo and Kevin Norton each pled guilty to charges that they’d brought a shotgun, a rifle, and ammunition to the competitive Pokémon card…
When Pokémon Go players see a good Pokémon spawn on the map, everyone will start running toward it, even if it’s not particularly rare. It was only a matter of time before someone took advantage of this phenomenon. Watch what happens after Vine star Logan Paul screams DRAGONITE in the middle of a crowd of…
Brigador took five years to create. It’s a mech game with a great retro-chic look, a standout soundtrack, and fully desctructible everything. The developers jokingly call it a “Kool-Aid Man simulator.” On Steam, it has a 94 percent positive rating. Despite all that, it flopped. In the wake of a small handful of reviews and…
3A toys—most recently flooring us with their Destiny efforts—have also managed to pick up the rights to make some Transformers figures. And oh boy There’ll be a whole series of them, each based on original G1 character designs. For TFG1, Ashley Wood and the development team at ThreeA have gone back to the original 1980s…
Here’s a look at A King’s Tale: Final Fantasy XV, the sidescrolling beat’em’up that’ll launch alongside FFXV in September. It’s a GameStop pre-order bonus right now, though it’s a safe guess that you’ll be able to get it separately later.
Nintendo is going full nostalgia with their new NES Classic, aka the mini-NES, which fits into your palm and will play 30 pre-installed Nintendo games. (The whole thing costs $60.) Now they just need to bring back the Power Glove. It’s so bad.
The first nine minutes of a new video for the most hotly-debated Nintendo game in years shows what looks like a pretty fun four-player co-op shooter. The last five minutes are interesting in a different way, as they appear to be Nintendo’s best efforts yet to address criticism of the upcoming game, Metroid Prime: Federation…
Pokémon Go is supposed to have the original cast of the first Pokémon games: this means, at minimum, a roster of 151 creatures. But so far, there’s no way of collecting the full set. In the main Pokémon games, there is a concept known as “legendaries”—that is, rare and powerful Pokémon that are significantly harder…
“We will be able to share a date with you relatively soon when the first update for consoles will hit,” said Payday 2 producer Amir Listo in February. We’ve been making some real progress.” It’s now the end of July, and there’s no indication when console owners are getting new content. Payday 2: Crimewave Edition…
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis isn’tjust one of the greatest video games ever made, it’s also for many fans a baked-in part of the Indy franchise, a better fourth movie than the actual fourth movie. So it’s both fascinating and sad to read about the game’s sequel, which was never released. Indiana Jones…
I watched a man tearfully avenge his dear old dog, freshly murdered by a dastardly raider, and then cook and eat it immediately afterward. What the fuck, RimWorld? What the fuck? RimWorld is a sci-fi colony sim with dashes of Dwarf Fortress, Firefly, and The Sims, but that description doesn’t really do it justice. It’s…
Thelast time we featured Grafit Studio on Fine Art, I said “you may not have heard of many of the game’s they’ve worked on”. How time changes things. In the five years since they’ve worked with companies like Capcom, Square Enix, Guerilla Games, Ubisoft, Microsoft, CD Projekt and Paradox. You can see more of Grafit’s…
Track: Never Say Never | Artist: That Dog | Album: Retreat From The Sun Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.
I’m not quite a VR convert. I get sick easily. Yet, if one game has made an extremely compelling case that VR can work brilliantly, it’s Dead Hungry. The game appeared earlier this month at BitSummit in Kyoto, but the line was too damn long, and I wasn’t able to check it out until I…
While Pokémon Go isn’t yet out in Japan, the country’s bureaucrats are already warning people about necessary safety precautions. As reported by The Japan Times, where I am a columnist, the National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity (NISC) under the Cabinet Office put out a nine-point bulletin warning people of possible problems…
Cosmos Rings, according to Famitsu, will be the “world’s first RPG” exclusive for Apple Watch. Even though, as Mike Fahey points out, there are other RPGs for the Apple Watch… The game, which uses the Apple Watch’s pedometer function, will be available through the App Store and the Watch App Store. Takehiro Ando, who created…

Been a while since we had some good Last of Us cosplay here, so let’s fix that with this terrifying clicker outfit by jaydubtog I like how the single eye hole is both practical and scary as fuck
