The Nightly Show Is Wrong About Final Fantasy

On the May 5 episode of the Nightly Show, there was a gag where a phony set of terms and conditions for agreeing to watch the program were flashed on-screen. If you saw it live you’d have only seen it race flash by, but pausing reveals a politically-charged throwdown. For anyone who can’t read the…

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood: The Kotaku Review

Wolfenstein: The New Order showed you could take an old style of game and make it feel new. Its new expansion, The Old Blood, simply feels old. I loved last fall’s The New Order. A lot of people did. It was a seemingly old-fashioned type of shooter that ended up being one of the surprise…

Sick Burn, Goat Simulator

Today, the latest expansion for Goat Simulator releases on Steam. It’s a survival game with zombies in it…that totally makes fun of other stereotypical zombie games on Steam. Yeah, it’s kind of having its cake and eating it too. I forgive it, though, because it’s still getting some good chuckles out of me. If you…

The Sims Creator Now Wants You to Make Stories Out of Your Own Life

It’s probably not a surprise that the man who created The Sims and SimCity wants you to make stories out of your life. His most famous creations let players spin bizarre melodramas from how they managed (or fiendishly ignored) the needs of either an entire city or a single family. But, Wright’s next big project…

Rockstar Says They Won’t Ban Anyone For Using Single-Player GTA V Mods

Well, that’s a relief. Mostly. If you were to look at any given GTA forum, you’d think the sky was falling (as opposed to whales falling from the sky, which is actually happening). Rockstar is banning people right and left for using mods, single-player or multiplayer, claim fans. Rockstar, however, says they’re doing nothing of…

The Amiibo Problem

Why World of Warcraft Lost So Many Subscribers

World of Warcraft subscriptions are down from 10 million to 7.1 million, Blizzard said during a financial earnings call yesterday. A record amount of people unsubscribed in the first three months of this year. This drop is particularly unusual because it happened right after a huge increase in subscribers.
