Destiny Review Scores May Cost Bungie A $2.5 Million Bonus

Destiny is not getting great review scores. In fact, it’s getting resoundingly mediocre review scores—as of right now, Bungie’s ambitious shooter has a 76.29% on GameRankings and a 77 on Metacritic That’s certainly not the type of critical reception Activision was hoping for when they pumped half a billion (!) dollars into this franchise, and…

Murasaki Baby: The Kotaku Review

I have a three-year-old daughter. I probably shouldn’t be playing Murasaki Baby, a game which is, in essence, about leading a toddler girl into and out of danger. But, like fatherhood, I volunteered for this responsibility. The dangers here are metaphorical and not physical, yet Murasaki Baby feels all the more disturbing for it. It’s…

The LEGO version of the Armored Personnel Unit from the Matrix movies can’t really get cooler than this. Niki Dregant‘s replica is a 700-piece beast and, as you can see, even in different positions, it’s perfectly the same as the ones seen in Zion during Matrix Revolutions’ final battle.

Both have their own storylines, and, unfortunately,…

When Super Mario World Meets Mortal Kombat

It all began when Mario was violently murdered by Shang Tsung. It all went downhill from there. Or uphill, depending on how much you like gore YouTuber NicksplosionFX is back with yet another Mario crossover video.

The Glorious PC Master Race Comes To…Civilization V

Oh Civ V modders. Don’t ever change. The last time we took a look at Civ V mods, they were sensible, realistic ones. This is neither. Monk Preston has added The Glorious PC Master Race to the game’s list of Civilizations, with its leader being (duh) Valve boss Gabe Newell. Yes, the concept of a…

It’s OK, Kitty, Titans Prefer Eating Humans

Make-up artist Lara Hawker can, with some brushes and a deft touch, transform a regular human into something a lot more bizarre. That Colossal Titan one is fantastic! That realistic wound one, however, is just gross Lara Hawker [Tumblr, via Laughing Squid]

There’s No Reason The Apocalypse Can’t Also Have Cool Sunglasses

Dimitri from Snail Designs, whose work we’ve featured before, recently finished a new, custom post-apocalyptic outfit. And it’s amazing. Love the worn-and-torn effect he’s able to get into the fabric.

What Doom Would Actually Look Like If It Was Made In The 21st Century

It was just last week we saw a hypothetical video about this. Last week! Today, we have something very similar, only this time it’s something you can actually play. Doom Reborn is a giant mod that basically brings the original Doom (and Doom II) to the Doom 3 engine. So as you can see, you…
