There’s two things I spend a lot of time writing about: JRPGs and anime. Welp, Ray Gigant’s a game big on both. So let’s play it. Update: Stream is finished, check out the full archive (in two parts because twitch is weird) below. PART 1 PART 2 Ray Gigant was released in Japan for the…
After Jimmy Kimmel’s YouTube jab backfired on Friday, the clip’s YouTube page and Kimmel’s Twitter were hit hard with criticism, anger, and insults. Tonight, the late-night host took a moment to address these comments. He might have made things worse! “This is the most disliked video we’ve ever posted to YouTube, and we’ve posted thousands…
Some of the games industry’s most talented and experienced designers are making the leap from game development to academia. But how do you teach the art of making games? This post originally appeared on Kotaku UK After Disney closed down his most recent studio Junction Point in 2013, Warren Spector, legendary designer of Deus Ex…
Steam reviews are often quite funny! This time they might even be, dare I say, touching? Originally, The Phantom Pain’s box art read “A Hideo Kojima Game” just like the previous Metal Gear Solid titles. But suddenly, it was removed, leaving people wondering if this decision was related to the rumored weirdness at Konami. While…

This is Halo 5’s intro. It’s…expensive. And Fillion-y.
Efflam Mercier is an artist who works for Iron Sky Universe, the production team behind the wacky Iron Sky Nazi movies (and their spin-offs). We’ve featured his work before, but since he’s had a complete portfolio refresh since, tonight was a good time to circle back around! You can see more of Efflam’s work at…
Steam sells games, Steam sells software, Steam sells short films, Steam sells documentaries. And going by a SteamDB listing, Valve’s service is also about to start screening at least four big movies. The listing (viaxPaw @ NeoGAF) suggests that all the Mad Max movies are coming to Steam, from the 1979 original to 2015’s Fury…
Luke’s live playing Big Pharma on PC, a game about making drugs and selling drugs in giant factories. Watch it here. [STREAM OVER, archived at 10:55 here] You can watch it below at the 10:55 mark (sorry, mad mic troubles!)
*switches car radio to Imperial March* This video by TwoDynamic shows off two cool Star Wars mods for GTA V: one changes the blimp to an enormous Imperial Star Destroyer, the other lets you drive Luke’s landspeeder around Sadly they’re just cosmetic additions; the star destroyer won’t spew probe droids all over the mountains, and…
Alongside a new bundle announcement, Microsoft showed off this new Xbox One controller today. It’s official name is the “Xbox One Special Edition Lunar White Wireless Controller”. I like it a lot.

Don’t. Preorder. Video. Games.
Stereotypes might lead you to believe any gamer’s love of MOBAs has to be mutually exclusive. I’m here to tell you this isn’t true. I recently started playing Dota 2. I mean actually playing it, as opposed to kicking around in its tutorials for a little while before intimidation sent me running back to Heroes…
This man elevates sticky grenades into a dang art form. GTA cops simply cannot stop salisburymistake, who has created a montage of high-speed-getaways that are the embodiment of “cool guys don’t look at explosions.” My favorite moments are the ones where salisburymistake skids past bodies that are flying midair, sometimes even knocking into them as…
Every time I would tell people I hadn’t played Final Fantasy VI—a claim which is no longer true, thank god—they’d respond with particular forcefulness because of how much I love music. Not only does FFVI have a famous soundtrack, it features a major musical setpiece: The Opera House. Last week, Kotaku news editor and towel…
