Or is it a protest for Half-Life 3? Whatever. The point being, This weekend over 30,000 members of a Steam group will sit down and play Half-Life 2. Calling themselves “A Call for Communication”, the group says “we have decided to gain Valve’s attention by delivering a basic message: Your oldest and longest running fanbase…
Boring. Bland. Linear. Those are three of the kinder things that can be said of Final Fantasy XIII, a game so poor it needed a direct sequel just to salvage some brand integrity. They’re also disarmingly simple, and don’t really get to the heart of just why the game was so disappointing to so many.…
Greetings, Kotaku friends. Welcome, one and all, to our evening open thread. It’s Tuesday, the last day of January. We’re already “into” 2012. How did that happen? I guess time went forward, and took us with it. Before you chat, here are some fun things from around the internet that you may enjoy: I trust…
Not the toys. And not the Michael Bay horror films. I mean the 1986 animated feature. At the time, Transformers: The Movie was notable for two things. One was the fact it killed everybody, traumatising an entire generation of young, impressionable movie-goers. The second, and more lasting, was the movie’s casting. It was a mess.…

Black Mesa is an independent remake of the original Half-Life that’s been in development since the end of the First World War. It hasn’t been seen for years. Most people now assume the remake, like Half-Life 3 itself, is an apparition. A mirage. But…maybe not. After such a long blackout, the webmaster of the project’s…
I really like the Ace Attorney games – I like the characters, the situations, and I like the games’ uncommon good humor. I like solving crimes, I like the silly judge, and I like seeking justice. I like how Maya likes hamburgers. I’ve played every game in the series except Apollo Justice (bleh), so as…
Sony has confirmed games for its upcoming Vita handheld will be a bit cheaper to purchase as downloadable digital games than it would cost to buy a physical disc.

Some weeks, the PlayStation Store has a whole bunch of cool new digital content. Other weeks, not so much. This week falls a bit into the latter category, though there are two exciting demos out—the Syndicate co-op demo (which looks pretty cool), and the multiplayer demo for the new Twisted Metal Madden fans can download…
When the editor-in-chief here asked me to do a video showcasing two of my beloved characters created on Soulcalibur V‘s character creator, I was elated. I consider myself a connoisseur of character creation and customization, often spending way too much time than any person should on creating the most bizarre and ridiculous characters I possibly…
After watching the last Syndicate trailer, I had to grudgingly admit that it did indeed channel some of the vibe of the original game. In this new video, Syndicate executive producer Ben O’Donnell walks us through the just-released 4-player co-op demo, detailing some of the features of the upcoming game’s co-op modes. “Breach apps” allow…
Have you ever gotten so immersed in a video game so fully that you lost track of time? You’re climbing the mountains of Skyrim or cruising the universe in Mass Effect, and the next thing you know it’s evening and you haven’t eaten anything in eight hours. For Sam Brown, a soldier who was badly…
The (awesome) TV Show Breaking Bad has a long history with video games, including the funniest, most accurate meth-fueled video game debates I’ve ever seen on a TV show, as well as some odd product-placement for the shooter Rage The guys at College Humor have taken it to another level, putting together this hilarious (incredibly…
