“Dragon Ball Should’ve Ended with Frieza’s Arc,” Says Former DB Editor
Dragon Ball isn’t finished. We’re getting a new series, and no doubt, more movies. But former DB manga editor Kazuhiko Torishima thinks it all should’ve ended long ago. During the 1980s at Weekly Jump magazine, Torishima worked closely with Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, editing his manga Dr. Slump. He was also the first editor…

Kotaku EastThe Ray Gigant Trailer With English Subtitles
In the age of 3D high-spec prettiness, more and more I find myself looking forward to and enjoying “low tech” games that give my imagination room to play. Walking through my regular game store the other day, I noticed a trailer for a game I had not really paid much notice to, Ray Gigant. The…

Watch Me Play Steam’s Most Promising Dinosaur Game

UncategorizedHow Not To Introduce A Video Game
So my yesterday went something like this. “Oh, hey, Dirty Bomb is in open beta! Nobody is talking about this game, but the people who made Brink are behind it, and the art looks cool, so what the hell, I’ll give it a shot”. Thirty seconds later I’d quit to desktop. Why? The first time…

UncategorizedGordon Freeman Comes To GTA V
And he’s brought his gravity gun with him. The gravity gun is neat and all, but it’s the first-person crowbar stuff that feels more Half-Life. Especially when you’re getting some back on those soldiers for abseiling into Black Mesa and shooting the place up. You can get the Gordon Freeman skin here

UncategorizedThe Best Thing About LEGO’s Take on Minecraft
I’ve spent a couple of hours in Lego Worlds this week, and I am absolutely loving it. The main reason? There are a ton of things and creatures lying around, all of which you can ride with the press of a button. I’m not much for building things. Embarrassingly, I was one of those weird…

UPDATE: It works now. If you bought The Witcher 3 digitally on Xbox One, there’s a chance you can’t play the game right now. There’s a licensing issue—error “0x87de2726”—that’s preventing the game from booting up, but Microsoft is aware of the problem and working on it. It’s apparently a licensing issue. There’s no timetable for…

Four Months Later, Peter Molyneux’s Godus Is Still A Mess
Four months ago, Peter Molyneux’s Godus was a disaster. Four months later, it’s… still in pretty bad shape. Minus small tweaks and changes, Godus is worryingly similar to the game it was four months ago. The features players clamored for—the ones they felt like they were promised during the god game revival’s crowdfunding drive—are still…

Team Fortress 2 has languished a bit in recent times. Truly outstanding updates have been few and far between. Thankfully, Valve just gave the game a new injection of life.
