There have been rumors that Hideo Kojima is leaving Konami. Those rumors, claims Metal Gear singer and voice actor Donna Burke, are allegedly true. Donna Burke sang the breathtaking “ Heavens Divide” for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. More recently, she sings “Sins of the Father” for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and…
That blue-haired Goku is the real deal, it seems. This is the character as a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Or SSGSS. Heh. But there’s a good reason explanation for what’s going on here. This is apparently a Super Saiyan that has absorbedSuper Saiyan God powers. So, that’s why this is a Super Saiyan God…
Tim Löchner is an artist from Germany who has worked for companies like Daedalic, Karakterand SIXMOREVODKA. This Zelda piece has me rethinking any desire I have to see the series brought to life. I mean, horses and green fields are one thing, but live-action Dead Hands would probably be a bit much for me. You…
Trib Live reports that Hubert Wingate, a 30 year-old from Homewood, Pittsburgh, is currently facing charges of “homicide, abuse of a corpse, cruelty to animals and theft of the PlayStation”, with the PlayStation leading directly to his arrest. The victim, 34 year old Andre Gray, was a friend of Wingate’s, and last month the pair…
Hate, yes. But in a loving way. Teemo is the latest League of Legends champion to receive a snazzy “legendary skin.” These are among the most expensive features that ever show up in the super popular game—they cost 1820 Riot Points, which is more than ten bucks in real-world money. Riot puts a lot of…
Age of Empires II is so old it was released in the 20th century. And 15 years into the 21st-century, it’s getting a new expansion. It’s for the HD version of the game released on Steam a few years back, and will actually be the second expansion for the refreshed title; another, The Forgotten, originally…
Should I care about Space Beast Terror Fright? Despite its absurdly schlocky name, yes, definitely. Its desolate space corridors teem with unseen horrors, and said corridors rearrange themselves each time you play. Also, if you die once, you’re done for good. What’s it about? It’s a randomness-heavy sci-fi horror FPS in which you attempt to…
In 2006, the World Series of Poker set a card game record by having 8773 players taking part, all in the one place. That record is under threat next month when Magic’s Grand Prix Las Vegas goes down. It’s being set up to accommodate 10,000 players. We won’t know if it actually gets that many…
Some people play Pokémon for years without ever encountering any special color variations of their favorite pocket monsters. But for those of you that have been lucky enough to find a shiny in Pokémon, what did you encounter? And were you able to catch it? Since shiny Pokémon are so rare, encounters with them tend…
League of Legends changes in big ways with alarming frequency. The game’s tens of millions of players have learned to never be shy about letting Riot know they don’t like something, therefore—usually by writing a strongly-worded forum post. This week, angry fans are doing something much more elaborate. And awesome. The whole dramatic episode was…
Little Devil Inside came out of nowhere, and it looks gosh darn incredible, fusing elements of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Dark Souls, and a Tim Burton-esque art style. Citing influences that range from Legend of Zelda to X-Com and System Shock, Little Devil Inside‘s creators are aiming to craft something equal parts surreal and majestic.…
Superman back in his classic “red underwear” outfit. Barbara Gordon back in her Oracle identity and in a romance with Nightwing. Both Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain back as Batgirl (sort of). Yep, DC Comics is using their latest crossover to give fans what they’ve been asking for. The most recent, “New 52” iteration of…
Forget weapons and armor. Using any kind of equipment during a duel simply isn’t classy enough. Either you go into battle wearing nothing at all or you’re a disgrace to Yharnam. No but seriously though: naked battles between players in Souls games is definitely a Thing, and I’m happy to report that players such as…
I recently told the staff of Kotaku that I would happily buy each of them a copy of BoxBoy. I like it that much and think it’s that useful for them to play. I’d offer to buy you a copy, too, but that would be ridiculous. BoxBoy is special. It’s a clinic on game design.…
Killing Baron Nashor in League of Legends grants a number of highly valuable rewards that’ll help carry a team to victory. But doing so is risky. Players often have to group together to attack the big scary monster, meaning a clever opponent can easily ambush them. Or worse: steal the kill. An agile Fizz player…
Those of you playing Pokémon Rumble World might have bought the “Leafy Balloon,” a vehicle which transports you to a grass-focused area of the game. To emphasize the theme of the area, the game shows you three Pokémon…except one of them isn’t a grass type. The furthest Pokémon on the right, Flabebe, is a fairy…
As it turns out, Mortal Kombat X is a surprisingly decent mobile game. Unfortunately, it’s also free-to-play, and the way it dishes out the experience pretty much ruins it. Unlike this Fatal Fury abomination SNK recently released for mobile devices, Mortal Kombat X isn’t a hardcore fighting game. Instead, the mechanics of Mortal Kombat have…

We’ve known for a while that Splatoon, Nintendo’s take on a third-person shooter, wouldn’t have voice chat. But we know why they’ve left it out now, and I think it’s the wrong move. Splatoon is the featured game in the latest issue of Edge magazine in the UK. I haven’t read the whole piece just…
If you’re still trying to make sense of Bloodborne’s cryptic story, Kotaku UK has a terrific analysis of what’s actually happening in Yharnam. I don’t know how Rich Stanton managed to piece all of this together, but I’m sure glad someone did. You can reach the author of this post at [email protected] or on Twitter…
