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…

UncategorizedSick 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…

You cannot download P.T. anymore, and you can’t sell a PlayStation 4 pre-loaded with the horror game, either. If you search for P.T. and PS4 on eBay right now, almost nothing comes up.

UncategorizedThe 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…

UncategorizedThe Amiibo Problem
I do not think it is possible to like the entirety of a corporation. Take Nintendo, for example. I like the part of Nintendo that makes Zelda games and, with less alacrity, Metroid games. I do not very much like the part of Nintendo that loves to sell plastic. And, boy, does Nintendo love to…
