Ever wonder what the world would be like if the British Empire had been built upon a working class of reanimated corpses? Well, the new anime film Empire of Corpses brings that world to life—and it is fantastic. Empire of Corpses begins in the year 1878 and is set in a world quite similar to…
We’ve already seen the official Metal Gear timeline, which helps keep the games in chronological order. Now, we get the complete—or damn near complete—timeline of the epic story, including how The Phantom Pain fits in (click here). Warning, there are spoilers!
Anthropomorphic video game consoles become school girls and fight zombies? …Alright, you talked me into it. Let’s give it a go. Update: The stream over, but you can watch the replay in two parts: here (15 minutes) and here (around two hours)! Uberdimension Blanc + Neptune Faction Vs. The Zombie Army (Geki Jigen Tag Blanc…
Well, except for Sanosuke. But, in all fairness, it might distract from the play if his actress went around bare-chested. On Wednesday, all-female acting troupe Takarazuka Revue held an event to show off the cast of their upcoming Rurouni Kenshin musical. Better still, the cast was in full costume; and Japanese website Natalie was there…
It’s not simply because the color looks cool. Or because the characters hate pastels. On the Final Fantasy XV forums, the game’s director Hajime Tabata answered a question as to why all four characters were in black. Here’s Tabata’s explanation: The clothing worn by the four main characters is the official battle gear of the…
Japanese high school kids fighting evil in secret. I’ve never heard of that premise before. No, wait. I have. Tokyo Xanadu is the latest JRPG from Nihon Falcom for the PS Vita. Knowing what time sinks RPGs can be, I figured I’d pass on this one. Falcom has been around the block a few times…

Here are the patch notes for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s first two patches, both available for download as soon as you get the game. Capped from a PS4. For the record our reviewer had no major performance issues with his version of the game, which we believe was running with at least the first patch (the…
It’s unofficial as hell, and Nintendo are probably in the process of nuking it from space, but for now you can totally download this Legend Of Zelda maker and start making your own version of a Zelda game. Hurray! We covered this in September, when the project was in its infancy, but now it’s been…

Strategy games sometimes get dinged for being too complicated. Kingdom strives to be minimal. Kingdom is a sidescrolling strategy/management game that just launched on Steam, where it’s been in and out of the top ten best-sellers for the past day. It’s not hard to see why: true to its regal nature, the game’s got luxurious…
Kotaku’s action figure coverage generally extends to “here is a cool action figure”. So excuse this brief interruption to bring you actual news involving an action figure. So, this is Bastian Schweinsteiger. He’s one of the world’s best footballers. Captain of the German national team (the current World Champions) and newly-signed midfielder for Manchester United.…
Destiny’s Trials of Osiris will return next Friday, October 30th. That’s according to the latest Bungie weekly update, which also explains how the next patch (due in November) will improve crucible drops and simplify the much-derided “Crucible Forged” quest.
The Witcher 3 is the best. Witcher 3 cosplay is the best. Like, Priscilla cosplay? Priscilla cosplay! Who would think/bother to cosplay as such a relatively minor character? Corneline would, because she knows there’s no such thing as a minor character in The Witcher 3
Sometimes Counter-Strike’s guns will just miss, even if you’re aiming perfectly. Guns that some people believe are solid at all ranges—like the AK-47—suffer the most. Basically, even if you’re aiming like you’ve got the eyes of an eagle and the steady hand of a stone statue (of someone who’s really great at aiming), there’s a…

This week, we’re getting into the differences between real life and what’s in our heads. One reader had an amazing holiday fling, but is having trouble bringing that back into his real life. Meanwhile, another reader…
Since I normally play one game at a time on my Wii U, I’m used to deleting games. Investing in an external HD for my every-so-often console seems goofy. But I almost reconsidered this decision when downloading Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, which takes up a whopping 15GB, and it’s an eShop only game.…
Trying to find the right character pick in Heroes of the Storm. Thanks to Reddit’s TragedyStruck for perfectly summing up the feeling of trying to find the right hero icon in the sea of small circular portraits.
I’ve spent four days banging my head against a Mario Maker stage called Hypercube. Full of misdirection, false pipe gods, and music notes, it’s (mostly) a clever stage. Eventually, starved of solutions, I broke my rules and used the editor to learn what was going on. What I found made me do a spit-take. Anyone…
