How You’ll Play Far Cry 4 With Friends Who Don’t Own It

One of the big surprises at this week’s Sony E3 press conference was the announcement that PlayStation console owners would be able to share Far Cry 4 for multiplayer co-op with friends who don’t own the game. How’s it’s going to work? Well, for starters, it sounds like you’re going to need a lot of…

A Video Game About Being A Mountain

Before this week, David O’Reilly was best known in the gaming scene for making the pretty-looking futuristic video games in the recent science fiction film Her.

​Yes, Far Cry 4 Lets You Ride Elephants

Like its predecessors, Far Cry 4 will let you get your kill on in a quiet and stealthy fashion. But who wants to do that when you can ride an elephant, smash through gates and bust shotgun shells at fools? The video above from PlayStation Access showcases two very different approaches to playing through a…

A Match On The New Version Of League of Legends’ Most Popular Map

So here’s the dev team showing us their progress with the update. It looks pretty cool so far and…

Nintendo’s E3 2014: You’re Buying a Wii U Now, Right?

Last year Nintendo dressed its developers up in cat ears and paraded them in front of a huddled group of attendees at its booth rather than have a press conference at E3. This year, it didn’t even do that much. This post originally appeared on Kotaku UK I thought that might mean it had nothing…

DayZ Jeopardy! Is Brutal And Has Only One Topic

And that one topic is: DayZ! Still, questions about the game cause headaches for a lot of newspawns in the recent video of Friendly in Cherno. The lucky ones can continue their journey with some extra gear, but everyone else has no other choice but to roll a new character. DayZ Jeopardy With Irregular Dave…

Off-road truck simulator Spintires is now out on Steam, exactly one year after the successful conclusion of its Kickstarter campaign. The launch trailer, which was released a few weeks ago, should be able to show you what the finished game is like (though I believe the actual game has significantly less wubs).

Godzilla Invades a Tokyo Park

Hollywood’s latest take on Godzilla hasn’t yet opened in Japan. But when it does later next month, there will be a huge statue in a Tokyo park to mark the event. Starting July 18 and wrapping up on August 31, the Tokyo Midtown Green and Park will be home to a 1/7 scale Godzilla. IT…

Two Men Arrested for Allegedly Stealing…320 Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards

I reckon there are things thieves brag about stealing: diamonds, exotic cars, and priceless art. Wonder where Yu-Gi-Oh! cards fall into that mix. Especially ones stolen from high school students. Yu-Gi-Oh!, of course, is an enjoyable card game, spawned from the manga of the same name. Some of the rare Yu-Gi-Oh! cards fetch a pretty…
