Numerous Japanese sites are speculating that The World Ends with You is iOS bound. Earlier today, Square Enix revealed that the game was an iOS title on its online store page for the game’s new soundtrack . The iOS notice has since been removed from the soundtrack page, while the countdown site soldiers on. Thrilling.…
According to reports out of China, a man in Guangzhou phoned the police because he thought the Spicy McChicken he ordered was too darn spicy. After getting his food, the man sat down and took a bite. Website The Nanfang reports that the man seemed surprised by his sandwich, so he called over a McDonald’s…
Next spring, arcade shooter DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou is headed to the Xbox 360, with a new character and new mode.
Okay, let’s be fair. The PS3 is not silly looking. Nor is Batman or an elephant. But buildings that resemble them? Or saltshakers? And sperm? Silly. Japanese website Heaven has a round up of buildings from across the globe that either accidentally resemble things—or totally resemble them by design. Some of the buildings Kotaku has…
When compared to a $6000, life-sized statue of the man, a $375 statue of Old Republic’s Darth Malgus suddenly doesn’t seem as expensive, does it? The Sith Lord “Premium Format Figure” (but actually a statue) by Sideshow goes on sale in March 2013. At 20″ tall and with a real fabric cape, you can pre-order…
Adding to the ranks of people who worked on the Mass Effect series that we’ve featured here on Fine Art, tonight we turn the spotlight on Finnish artist Mikko Kinnunen. Though focusing solely on his Mass Effect work, amazing as it is, would be selling him short. Having also worked for companies like Paramount Pictures…
Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel might be the most unnecessary sequel of this console generation. Who asked for this? Did you? You? What about you? It sure as hell wasn’t me. As snooze-inducing as the game may end up being, though, at least this clip associated with it is worth a watch. It was…
Not that this is a new idea – it’s where a lot of the appeal of AAA devs going indie lies – but it’s nice to remember that as annoying as the endless stream of Kickstarter projects are, and as big as the risks are for both developers and consumers, there’s an upshoot to the…
Let’s recap. In November 2011, Ubisoft creative director Stanislas Mettra said the following about I Am Alive, a game for the Xbox 360 and PS3: We’ve heard loud and clear that PC gamers are bitching about there being no version for them. But are these people just making noise just because there’s no version or…
I’m not normally one to indulge in “TOP TEN THINGS OF THIS THING” lists, but when they involve badass box art from 1980s and 90s PC games, I can’t help it. Topless Robot put together their list of “10 Insanely Badass DOS Game Boxes”, and it’s good reading, mostly because they know the worth of…
If you’ve got the capability right now, whether on GameCube, Wii or even PC, go put Wind Waker on. And just look at it. Soak up how a video game released almost a decade ago still looks like it could have come out yesterday. Once you’re done, ask yourself “how did Nintendo do that?”. Then…
The last time Microsoft changed its company branding was in 1987. With the company on the cusp of a less dorky era, courtesy of tech like Windows 8, Windows Phones, Surface and the Xbox 360, it’s about time for a redesign! And a redesign is what we have. There’s not only a new font, but…
Once upon a time, David O’Russell (Three Kings) was down to direct the Uncharted movie. Then he was off. Then back on. Then off, with Neil Burger taking over. Now Burger is gone. And writing pair Marianne and Cormac Wibberley are reworking the script. The film’s producer, Avi Arad, will wait until they’re done to…
There’s Lord of the Rings LEGO you can buy, but that stuff is limited by the realities of commercial packaging and a hard ceiling for prices. Let’s imagine, though, that you could get hold of the perfect Lord of the Rings LEGO set. One so detailed it quite literally takes your breath away. It’d probably…
I thought I was ready for it, as ready as I was to smash my keyboard into pieces within the first day’s play, but nothing could have prepared me for just how hideous the PC version of Dark Souls really is. While the game’s menu will trick you into thinking the game runs at your…
I’ll tell you one thing: we’re not here to talk nonsense to Bob Loblaw. No, we’re here to talk about how the new season of Arrested Development is reportedly coming out next spring. That’s not as far away as it seems! Personally, I am optimistic as heck about the new season of Arrested Development. Most…
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II is now available on Steam. It’s great! But get this first
Historic teams and an online streetballing blacktop mode are hinted at in the list of NBA 2K13 achievements
Sad but true: The PC version of Darksiders II is bare-bones and has some serious graphical problems. Non-functional vertical-sync, strange controls, minimal options for graphical tweaking; it’s a drag. I’ve been cooling my heels after playing about an hour of the game, waiting on its developer, Vigil, to release some patches. I’ve been waiting for…
Sound Shapes has been out for a couple of weeks now, and I think it’s finally time I wrote something about it here on Kotaku Melodic. It’s been a bit tough to get the average gamer interested in the game for some reason, even though it’s one of the most clever, musical games I’ve played…
