What happens when you take a bit of Mario and cross it with a bit of Tetris? You get the cutest little box-person in the world. Good – So Very Cute Box Boy is the story of a square (the titular Box Boy), his girlfriend (a square that has a bow and eyelashes a la…
Tough? Wasteful? Dull? A handful of martial arts types try their luck at a real-life version of Street Fighter‘s bonus stage But, I don’t remember Ryu jumping on top of the car like this. This one from Mega64, however, is rather amusing. To contact the author of this post, write to bashcraftATkotaku.com or find him…
Last year, Kotaku reported that a South Korean artist, Eunsuk Yoo, created a very friendly Spider-Man statue that made some people angry and was taken down. You’ll be happy to know that the work of art has found a new home. Note: This article contains content that some readers might find objectionable. The sculpture, which…
At least they’ll have photos to remember this moment. Near Universal Studios Japan’s Attack on Titan attraction, there are Eren Titan and Female Titan statues. I checked them out during a press preview this week. They really tower over everything in this part of the park. The Eren Titan measures 15 meters (49 feet), and…
If you were to watch an episode of Cross Ange this week as it continues into its second half, you’d be tuning into a story with an excellently developed main character and well-built world. If you decided to watch from the beginning, however, you’d be in for a completely different experience. Cross Ange is the…
Last year, Sony rolled out the limited edition Anniversary PS4 in classic PlayStation gray. There were only 12,300 released, each serialized. Now, you can bid on number 1. The 12,300 number corresponded with the Japanese PS1’s December 3rd launch. Sony is auctioning off the first console, which is 00001 out of 12300, for charity. All…
Armello hit early access today. I’ve been playing it this afternoon and it’s pretty good! Gorgeous, as expected, but be warned: as advertised, it’s very much a card game, so don’t go into it expecting a more video game-like RPG experience.
Starr Mazer is a shmup. Starr Mazer is also a point-and-click adventure game. Which sounds like a nightmare of a combination, but this actually looks cool as hell. It also sounds cool as hell, with a soundtrack that features artists like legendary Capcom composer Manami Matsumae (Mega Man), The Protomen, Alex Mauer and Shovel Knight’s…
Ronin, as you’ll see about three seconds into the above video, is basically Gunpoint vs Mark of the Ninja, a fantasy combination if ever I’ve dreamt one up.
I remember when I first booted up Dragon Age: Inquisition on my (not exactly wimpy) PC. The framerate was unexpectedly low, and there were stutters and crashes. Moreover, the controls were awkward as all get-out. Months later, some problems have been solved, but many still linger. PC players are getting fed up. Over the course…
A big, expensive PC can make a video game look beautiful, but not everyone can afford a big, expensive PC. If that’s you, these giant screenshots — which yes, you can use for wallpaper — will have to suffice. These pics come courtesy of NeoGAF’s 2015 PC screenshot thread, where you’ll find images of not…
And that’s not according to me, that’s according to the American Dialect Society, who earlier this month held their 25th Word of the Year awards. As the Wall Street Journal (via Daily Dot) report, “salty” was named as one of the winners of “Most Likely to Succeed”, a kind of heads-up award for a word…
Imagine a world where you didn’t have to look at ads in real life. It might sound incredible, but hackers are trying to make that a reality. Meet “Brand Killer.” It’s an alternate reality device that blocks out ads in real time. Now, the device is definitely at an early stage—it’s more proof of concept…
Just in case a four-hour version of an eight-hour trilogy was still too long for you, professional video editor David Killstein has now gone and made an even more drastic cutof Peter Jackson’s overblown Hobbit adaptation. I sat down and watched the first fan cut from earlier in the week, and it was…OK. Still felt…
Ninjas in Pyjamas—aka NiP—came so close to pulling off a massive upset and winning last year’s Dream Hack Winter finals that it hurt. But the stinging taste of defeat eventually fades, and I imagine having a rad (though weirdly spooky) mansion to train out of doesn’t hurt. Pro Counter-Strike teams like NiP pretty much have…
Though Ubisoft just announced Grow Home, a new climbing game from Ubisoft Reflections, you can play it in less than two weeks. Grow Home arrives on February 4 for the PC. The previously internal-only experiment took inspiration from Wall-E and Guardians of the Galaxy
Transistor developer Amir Rao just published an interesting breakdown of all the work that went into the game’s unique “functions” system. I found the inspiration that Supergiant pulled from Magic: The Gathering particularly neat. And the fact that they deliberately eschewed “power-leveling.” Read it at Gamasutra.
It was only a matter of time before hackers started tinkering with the insides that make up an Amiibo’s data. Right now it looks like Smash Bros. hackers like Mema Haxx are even figuring out how to get Amiibos that aren’t actually announced/real yet into the game—like Duck Hunt, for example: Okay, but that’s just…
It’s probably not surprising to hear this, but McDonald’s french fries contain way more than just oil, potatoes and salt. In fact, McDonald’s fries have a whopping 19 ingredients in the USA, all of which are broken down in this image: You may be thinking to yourself, wait a minute! Why are some ingredients listed…
Hello, Internet! Welcome to Ask Dr. NerdLove, the only dating advice column that can prove the Millenium Falcon is faster than the Enterprise NCC-1701-D. This week we have two letters, each trying to solve a fundamental relationship issue: How long do you hang in and fight and when do you finally throw in the towel?…
