The New Lupin the Third Anime Series Looks Terrific

For the first time in thirty years, there’s a new Lupin the Third animated television series. So far, the show certainly seems promising. A few years back, we got a Lupin the Third spin-off anime which centered on Fujiko. But this latest one, which debuts this October in Japan, is classic Lupin the Third. It’s…

DualShock, Paint On Canvas, 2015

Randy Gallegos is an artist who has done work for companies like Blizzard, Wizards of the Coast, Fantasy Flight and DeNA. There are examples of that art below, but you’ll also see stuff from his new exhibition called Hearts for Hardware, a series of actual paintings depicting some of the more iconic controllers and hardware…

New GTA V Graphics Mod Looks Nngh

Martin Bergman has done it. He’s released shots of a graphics mod for GTA V on PC that actually, and noticeably, improve the game’s visuals. That’s awesome! We get sent tweets and emails every week about mods like this, and when we check them out, most times it’s tough seeing any kind of changes or…

Universe Sandbox 2 Lets You Build, Destroy The Universe

Ever wanted to create your own universe? Or destroy it by ramming planets into each other, destruction derby-style? Well, here you go. Universe Sandbox 2, which just hit Steam today, doesn’t have clearly defined goals. It is as its name suggests: a sandbox, a near-limitless playground for your demented imagination. Within a minute of booting…

Satellite Reign: The Kotaku Review

I’d been led to believe that Satellite Reign was a modern-day Syndicate. Turns out it isn’t. Phew. I mean, I love Syndicate as much as the next person who loves Syndicate, in that I grew up thinking it was one of the best games of all time. I still find its filthy, cyberpunk art style…

Hyper Light Drifter has a badass new trailer, and we know when it’s coming out: spring 2016.

Watch Me Try To Keep The Teens Alive In Until Dawn [Done!]

Can we save the teens from being murdered in the PS4’s big new horror game? Or will we watch everyone die one by one because we made poor choices that snowballed horribly? Let’s find out. Today I will be playing Until Dawn, which Patrick describes as follows: Until Dawn is a new horror game developed…

The Clouds In This PS4 Game Are Truly Next-Gen

When Horizon: Zero Dawn was announced at E3 by the makers of Killzone, what most people focused on were the big robot dinosaurs. Which, you know…fair enough. But the landscape and skies are bringing something awesome to the table too. Let’s take a look. Spotted by GearNuke, Guerrilla Games recently posted a huge presentationthat broke…

Flywrench Could Be The Year’s Best Ridiculously Hard Game

Flywrench is a simple video game, but you will die a great many times. Yet like Super Meat Boy or N++, the controls are so good, you can’t help but blame yourself. When a game controls well, there’s nothing else like it. You feel one with the game, and the controller begins to fade away.…

Some Thoughts After Attending Three Great Nights Of WWE In Brooklyn

I’m obsessed enough about pro wrestling to have spent $340 to go to Summerslam this past weekend…. to sit in $75 nosebleed seats, since my order for floor seats apparently never went through. That was the second of three nights of sold out WWE action that I saw in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, 12+ hours of…

League Of Legends Pro Almost Quit Before Winning The U.S. Finals 

“It’s just really satisfying, it’s the most satisfying feeling I’ve ever had in my life. As I said in the post-game interview, it’s the best day of my life, because…everyone in the community makes a joke, makes a mockery of CLG, and mockery of me, and tells me I can’t do it.” Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng…

The Peter Dinklage Destiny Lines We’ll Miss Most

In just a couple of weeks, Peter Dinklage will no longer be in Destiny. Let’s take a moment to remember him. A couple of weeks ago Bungie announced that Dinklage’s character, Ghost, would be recast for the upcoming Taken King expansion. In addition, Bungie is taking the unusual step of having Ghost’s new actor, voiceover…

Gears of War Designer Shares Tons Of Behind-The-Scenes Details

Gears of Wars: Ultimate Edition has folks getting nostalgic. Designer Cliff Bleszinski, who left Epic Games in 2012, used Twitter last night to share behind-the-scenes details about the game. As it turns out, several aspects of the series were inspired by the collapse of his first marriage. You’ll want to scroll through Bleszinski’s Twitter account…

Mod Adds First-Person To The Witcher 3, But Only On Horseback

I don’t think first-person would necessarily make The Witcher 3 a better game, but damn this looks cool. The mod, created by insane0hflex, adds two new horseback perspectives to The Witcher 3: over-the-shoulder and first-person. Both are neat, but I don’t know; there’s something about seeing The Witcher 3’s war-torn world up-close-and-personal—through Geralt’s man-cat eyes—that…
