Resogun: The Kotaku Review

A twin-stick shooter with a mess of action on screen is the perfect launch title for the PS4. For the uninitiated: twin-stick shooters are pretty easy to control. One joystick moves you around, the other joystick shoots in the direction you push it. The challenge is in using these controls in the best possible way.…

Michael Jordan’s Big Space Jam Win Gets a Gloriously Fake Documentary

Seventeen years ago on Friday, Space Jam hit theaters. That makes now the perfect time for this fake oral history of the film’s climactic throwdown between the Tune Squad and the Monstars, done with all the self-regarding gravitas of an ESPN 30-For-30 documentary. Yahoo! Screen’s sendup (Director: Tony Yacenda) is very well edited, but what…

GTA V Mansion Is An Aircraft Carrier For The 1%

Bless glitches: not only can you launch cars into the air using gates in Grand Theft Auto, but you can also do the same with aircrafts judging by this mythbusting video by DefendTheHouse. And that’s not all. You can also take Amanda’s yoga ball and make it into a rolling bomb—I bet there’s a lot…

Study The PS4’s Social Network Settings Before Putting It Online

To get the most out of the PlayStation 4, you should connect the system online and enmesh yourself in the console’s social network—maybe hook it into Facebook, too. How much of yourself can you share? How much can you keep private? Let me show you. Upon booting up the console and applying a day-one patch,…

Between Kanye Westand Jay Rock, its clear that music videos that make ample use of Link’s expressions in Wind Waker is a thing. Further proof: this silly Wind Waker music video made last month by Kryptick Bidoof of Phil Collin’s sentimental ‘In The Air Tonight.’ So good!

No, The PS4 Doesn’t Have A “Wobbling” Problem

The PS4 does move if you press down on it. Is it a problem? No. I made a video to demonstrate the “wobble” issue, and what you can do to fix it. If you’re not familiar with the PS4’s wobble, when Giant Bomb did an unboxing earlier this week, they noticed that the console would…

It’s About Time The X-Men Fired Angel

Now that Wolverine and Gambit are gone, it’s time for Pete Holmes’ Professor X to take out the X-Men whose wings deserved clipping the most. Fly free, little Angel. You’re dumb. Back when the X-Men were born into the Marvel Universe, flying must have seemed pretty handy. Then came a flood of mutants who could…

Flower On PS3 Versus PS4

Flower is often cited as an example of how beautiful games can be. Part something about flower petals instead of guns, but it’s also to do with how beautifully the environment moved and responded to you. So, as a PS4 launch title, it’s a good example of how visuals have improved since Sony’s last generation…

Someone Stuck an Xbox One at the Bottom of a Shark Tank in New Zealand

Sorry, New Zealand—you are not the site of the first Xbox One to be sold in the world, despite this promotional stunt involving an Auckland aquarium. About 150 folks already have theirs and didn’t have to swim to the bottom of a shark tank for it. But Microsoft pressed ahead with this anyway because, hell,…

Contrast: The Kotaku Review

Contrast starts off like all games of its mysterious, charming nature should: by not telling you much. You meet a little girl when the game loads up. A scene plays out and from it you understand you live in some parallel world where you can turn into a silhouette on demand. Only the little girl…
