Kotaku EastThe New Silent Hill Will Break Your Heart
There’s a new Silent Hill! It was just announced! Yay! But wait. Don’t get your hopes up, because they will be crushed. Just like when they were crushed when Silent Hills was cancelled. Okay, maybe not that bad, but still, frowny faces all around. The newly announced Silent Hill is for pachinko-slot machines. Why? Because…

UncategorizedThis PES 2016 trailer has me weirdly excited for the game. First because it’s confident enough to show actual gameplay, clipping and all, but secondly—and more importantly—because of that new commentary from Peter Drury. New commentary! In PES! Unbelievable.

Kotaku EastKoei Tecmo is Making an Attack on Titan Game
It looks like a Warriors game, but the other way around; you’re one of hundreds of peons against an unstoppable force – a titan, as it were. It should come as no surprise that it kind of seems like a reverse Warriors game—the game is being developed by Omega-Force, the makers of the Warriors game…

CultureBadBlood Is Hide-And-Seek With More Blood
Man, hide-and-seek has gotten daaaaaark. BadBlood is hide-and-seek re-imagined. Basically, it’s hide-and-hunt. It’s meant to be played split-screen and—in an interesting twist—encourages screen cheating. However, a twist on top of and within a twist: the screen twists, creating different orientations for you and your opponent. What was that sound? Was that a neck snapping, or…

Why Can’t I Buy Skyrim LEGO Yet
Serious question. I mean, this recreation of Half-Moon Mill is something I should be able to click on and have in my house, not simply admire from afar. Then again, an actual LEGO set would skimp on the lush fully-modelled terrain. It was built by Pieter Dennison, and you can see more of his work…
