The Fuzzy First Five Minutes Of Leo’s Fortune 

The delightfully handcrafted Leo’s Fortune was one of 2014’s most critically acclaimed mobile games. Will it be one of 2015’s most acclaimed console and PC games? It’s unlikely, do to the differences between the two audiences, but that doesn’t mean the quest for Leopold’s stolen gold is anything less than stellar on the bigger screen.…

Snake Rescues Hideo Kojima From Konami

Here, obtained by Kotaku, is exclusive footage of Venom Snake breaking into Konami’s headquarters and extracting Metal Gear Solid designer Hideo Kojima from his office. Just kidding. That’s side-op 112 (Intel Agent Extraction) from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. But also it’s a pretty good metaphor. You’re free now, Kojima. You’re free. You…

Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX: The Kotaku Review

It’s quite likely your reaction to this image will dictate whether or not Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX is the sort of game you’d like to play. Musical notes, button prompts, anime girl with headphones—it’s immediately recognizable as a rhythm game, a genre that’s never reached the heights of popularity in the Western world that…

Dragon Ball Cosplay Comes Complete With Goku’s Flying Nimbus

And the best way to use a hands-free mini-segway? Hip-hop videos? Nope! With a little creativity it can be turned easily into Son Goku’s magical yellow cloud. A cosplayer at this year’s Dragon Con did just that, as you can see in FUNimation’s footage. The hair might be a bit… lacking, but who cares. It’s…

Real-Life Kingdom Hearts Keyblade Is Impractical, Smashes Stuff Anyway

Pretty sure the folks at Awe Me like challenges. Their recent project was to forge the Oathkeeper from the Kingdom Hearts series, a keyblade sword with giant holes everywhere, a heart shaped point and a really weird hilt and grip. It just shouldn’t work in real-life. The Oathkeeper is one of those over-designed JRPG items.…

What Really Happens When Your Extractions Fail in Metal Gear Solid V

In MGSV, the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system—used to send important personnel and items back to Mother Base by way of balloons—has a chance to fail when you’re in bad weather. Or when Niko Bellic’s around. He’s got real sticky fingers. The drawing is the latest in a series aptly called “This is a jecking” by…

Protect Your Keyboard From Cats

Got a cat? What about a keyboard? Then, you know that those fuzzy friends love to sit on them when you’re typing. Let’s stop that. This is the Nekopochi Keyboard Cover. While I’ve seen shelves and organizers used as make-shift keyboard rests for cats as well as covers to put over your keyboard while not…

Rihanna, The Pokémon Gym Leader

Some days, Rihanna looks casual. Other days, she’s a fashion icon. On this day, she was a Pokémon Gym Leader. While the photo is from last May, it wasn’t until this month that Twitter user Buildacastle pointed out that it looked like The Pokémon Company designed her outfit. Tumblr site Green Glasses created some brilliant…

An Official Pokémon Card Based On Fan’s Art

Artist James Franzen entered the Pokémon Art Academy contest, and hey, he was one of three winners for North America! Nice one, James. In addition to internet fame, though, he also got a super sweet prize: 100 copies of an actual official Pokémon card featuring his art. They’re the only 100 copies, so…yeah, all these…

What Makes A Good Video Game Gun?

Many games feature guns. It’s a shame so many of them can’t feature them properly. Like, a gun isn’t just an outlet for player commands, a thing that shoots other things at things. A good video game gun should give something back in return: a sense of heft, or power, or satisfaction, or even all…
