The Week In Games: Let’s Do The Titanfall Again
This week’s biggest release is a game we don’t have a single screenshot or snippet of gameplay for. That’s not something you don’t see every day. Retailers are selling copies of Titanfall for the Xbox 360 early, but since the servers aren’t live there is no way for early owners to capture gameplay footage. There…

Elder Scrolls Online MMO Log: The World Is My Cat Box
It’s been one week since I donned my tail and cat ears and began my journey into The Elder Scrolls Online, and I’m having a much better time on day seven than I did on day one. My first level Khajiit Nightblade is now a tenth level Khajiit Nightblade who has seen and done many…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Hide The Megalodon
Last week Battlefield 4 players found the legendary Megalodon, parading the massive Cenozoic Era shark around the internet like some twisted fishing trophy. Sounds like ol’ Megalodon needs a better hiding place. Perhaps Photoshop can help. Hey Megalodon, if you’re trying to hide from Battlefield 4 players, inside Battlefield 4 is probably not the best…

UncategorizedPersona Q‘s Battle System Makes Me So Happy
Why are the characters in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth so tiny? So you can fit more of them on the battlefield at once. “But Fahey, having five characters fighting at once leads to a whole lot of menu navigation during battles.” Stop trying to sell me, I am already sold. Besides, they’re not…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Turtle Power: The Winners!
Last week I asked you fine Photoshop people to take back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from Michael Bay. You’ve made this old and wizened anthropomorphic rat proud. I seriously don’t know how my predecessor managed to deal with so much beauty every week. Once again I found myself selecting just about every entry —…

UncategorizedSuper Mario Cat Doesn’t Take No Crap From No Goomba
There’s a reason it takes a rare power-up to turn into a cat in the Mushroom Kingdom — they’re just too powerful. While the plumber is away, Super Mario Cat saves the day. Youtube’s Mr. TVCow shot a bunch of footage of this cat, and then spent hours adding CG Mario scenery and sound effects.…

Tomorrow morning at 8 AM Eastern, players…

While Finn, Jake and friends showed up as 3D card battlers in Adventure Time: Card Wars, the rest of their games (browser-based not included!) have been confined to two dimensions. The upcoming Adventure Time: Time Tangle gives the Land of Ooo some much-needed depth. Want to see? Abraham Lincoln seems to be involved, as well…

The Saturday Morning Stream: The Titanfall Disaster [And We’re Done]
My original plan for today’s Saturday Morning Stream was to play Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F on my PlayStation 3. Then my PlayStation 3 killed itself. Titanfall it is! As you will soon see, I am not good at Titanfall. Really it’s any competitive online shooter, with the possible exception of Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden…
