I saw a game turn up on Steam today called Heroine’s Quest. That’s funny, I thought, that sounds a lot like Hero’s Quest. Only with a female main character instead of a male. Turns out that’s exactly what it is. Heroine’s Quest is about as perfect a tribute to Sierra’s classic Quest for Glory series…

Well, here’s a welcome change of pace. Spirit is, creator Holden Boyles tells Kotaku, “simply about the experience of walking peacefully through a magical ancient world, as you control an old man who has retired to a remote mountain village and just wants to explore his surroundings.” The game’s got a playable demo you can…

The Last Of Us’ singleplayer DLC, Left Behind, continued the main game’s legacy of taking place in some beautiful locations. Well, relative to the fact everyone’s dead and everthing’s busted, at least. One of the people to thank for that is artist John Sweeney, whose work on the main game we featured last year. Here…
Sorry for that headline. I get terrible flashbacks, you see… This was taken at last week’s All-Con. Photographer is Neither Noir, the turtles are Turtle Power Entertainment, Casey Jones is Zander Yurami and Shredder, as he should be, is a mystery.
The Game Developers Conference is mostly for talks and parties, but there are still games to play. Yet despite GDC being a smaller, more casual affair than stuff like E3, it’s not exactly the ideal place to experience a creative work. As you’ll see here. Writer/artist Elizabeth Simins will be hanging out at GDC all…
Fed up with real banks, a 4chan user (I know, I know) claims to have shifted his personal finances to somewhere a little closer to home: GameStop. Now, grains of salt firmly between our teeth, his post seems equally crazy and mundane enough that such a scenario could actually be true, if you assume he…
The best examples of box art tend to be those with a timeless design. Those you can look at ten, twenty, even thirty years later and say, yup, that still looks amazing. Super Mario Bros. is one such game. These great pics by Bryan Ochalla remind us that, even with dog-eared corners, that bright yellow…
21 year-old Australian man Shane Duffy stands accused of hacking into a Riot Games server, accessing player data then selling that information for thousands of dollars. Local police say that his arrest comes at the conclusion of a six-month investigation, which included assistance from the FBI. They allege Duffy used the data to sell player’s…
For its birthday, Twitter today showed off a neat feature that lets users find their first ever Tweet. Mostly so others can revel in your embarrassment. So it is with a couple of BioWare games, as the Dragon Age team’s first tweet wasn’t exactly one for the ages. Mass Effect’s response, however, was better. If…
Sony’s had some VR tech on show at this year’s GDC, but it’s also showing off some eye-tracking gear that’s just as impressive. In this clip, The Verge get some hands-on time with a special test build of the new Infamous game, and…throws some fireballs using their eyes. You’re not controlling the entire game using…
There are Zelda fans, and then there are Zelda fans. Chrisaixa is a Zelda fan Based on a piece of art done by Purrdemonium, she’s had her entire back covered by this epic Majora’s Mask tattoo. If you thought saving Termina was rough, the healing on this must have been worse. The tattoo was done…
Hey, did you know that Alucard is dual-wield spelled backwards? Ok, maybe not. But you can still get a look at how different the fan-favorite Son of Dracula plays from his dad in this trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2’s Revelations DLC.
Seems like Valve’s Steam Controller has been evolving since the minute they first showed it to us. The latest version adds more conventional face buttons along with the big, already-iconic touchpads. It’s being put through its paces at GDC this week. Let’s see how this puppy performs, shall we? The video above comes from tech/cool…
As far as apocalypses go, zombies are in vogue right now. Nothing wrong with that. But the public fascination with kaiju is on the rise again and the question needs to be asked: what does humanity do if the 30-foot-tall monsters win? Enormous presents a stripped-down look at a world where humanity’s gotten stomped and…
Maybe you’re going to pick up Infamous: Second Son tonight at midnight. Maybe you’re going to start downloading it as soon as you can. Or it might just be that you’re still not convinced that the new PS4 game is worth your time. Now you can take a look for yourself. Kotaku video editor Steve…
Over the past two decades, Electronic Arts has developed a reputation for buying and “killing” independent video game studios.
