UncategorizedWe Finally Got To Play A Big Chunk Of Destiny
Over the past weekend, a couple of us at Kotaku had a chance to sink a good half-dozen hours each into an alpha version of Bungie’s sprawling (but still somewhat mysterious) online shooter Destiny.

Just announced on IGN‘s E3 livestream, Devil’s Third will be showing up only on Nintendo’s home console.

UncategorizedMaybe I Don’t Need The Last Guardian Anymore
Sony’s press conference came and went last night, filled with pregnant pauses. None of those silences gave birth to any news about The Last Guardian, making it five years of barely suppressed longing.

One of Shigeru Miyamoto’s Weird New Wii U Game Ideas Is Excellent
Could the most interesting game from the creator of Super Mario Bros. and Zelda that we’ve seen in years be a quasi-multiplayer game about security cameras? Could be.
