Make sure to check out the second Kotaku Game Club discussion of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception tomorrow! We’ll be looking at chapters 10-18 at 4pm Eastern.
Hello Kotaku! Enjoying your week so far? I hope so, and I bet Modern Warfare 3 is contributing to that for a lot of you. How many hours have you played so far? Enjoying it more or less than Battlefield 3? Let us know below, and talk amongst yourselves! I would like to thank Xeriel…
Depictions of terrorist attacks on London’s Tube are just one of the ways military shooter Call of Duty courts controversy in this year’s blockbuster Modern Warfare 3 game. Decried for being in “incredibly bad taste” by the UK’s Mediawatch campaign, the Call of Duty series has for years depicted graphic and shocking moments in fictionalized…
So, I’ve got a roundabout complicated relationship with bowling in real life and in video games. Despite an adolescence spent in the suburbs (what up, Hempstead, Long Island!), I only first picked up a bowling ball a few years ago. I’m not very good at it, but I think I can be. Video games are…
Mario’s coming to a handheld in an all-new game. That’s always cause for celebration and Nintendo’s going to be mounting some rather athletic festivities this coming weekend. To commemorate the release of Super Mario 3D Land on Sunday, Nintendo will be setting up an obstacle course in New York City’s Times Square on the Saturday…
Teh Future | TOKYO, JAPAN: Epson showed off its new Android powered Moverio player and headset. (Photo: PhileWeb) Is the Recession the Next Big Video Game Bad Guy? Would you shoot someone responsible for America’s horrible housing market? Would you like to? What if you met his wife and kid first? How did we get…
Whether it be Florence or Jerusalem, Vence or Tyre, Assassin’s Creed has done a remarkable job of bringing cities to life. Constantinople is the lastest city to get the AC treatment. This teaser trailer for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Revelations shows life in Constantinople. It dazzles, just like the city it portrays. You can contact…
Online, people create alter egos. New identities are born out of names and avatars. They also bare their real identities. And your avatar or your profile pic is causing others to silently judge you. According to a study by online reputation management company Reputation 24/7, it takes people five-and-a-half minutes to decide if they like…
If you grew up in the 1980s, no doubt you played (and loved) arcade game OutRun. But what if you grew up in the 1960s, before there were video games as we now know them? You could’ve played mechanical racing games, like Sega’s Grand Prix. Working on a similar principle, but not nearly as noisy,…
One game based on George RR Martin’s Song of Fire & Ice series of fantasy novels was released this year. It was a PC strategy title, and it was a bit rubbish. Next year, though, there will be three more games. We knew about one of them. It’s an RPG that’s based on the HBO…
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has a collector’s edition. And that collector’s edition has a strategy guide. One Kotaku reader snapped some photos of it to show just how big it is. The strategy guide comes with a “Free Access to the Interactive World Map” code, some shrinkwrap, and what looks to be a fancy…
Russian concept art studio Grafit may not be an outfit you’ve heard of—and you may not have heard of many of the game’s they’ve worked on either—but that doesn’t make their work any less beautiful. While some of the art in this gallery is for games the non-Russians among you will have never played, like…
These new Assassin’s Creed hoodies from British outlet Insert Coin are neither cosplay nor fashion. They’re occupying a strange place in between. On the chest, there’s a Monteriggioni 1499 motif, which is, well, it’s OK. The Assassin’s Creediness come in, though, when you flip the hood up, with the top designed to mimic Ezio’s distinctive…
It’s said, sometimes unfairly, that most modern games are little but varying shades of brown and grey. That’s an accusation that could never, ever be levelled against upcoming co-op game Trine 2 Like the first, it’s an explosion of colours and lavish art design, which these new screenshots for the game show off to great…
The 26th Prize Fair recently wrapped up, showing off prizes available in arcade redemption games during the first half of 2012. Companies including Taito, Banpresto, and Sega were on hand. Ditto for their prizes. Many of the figures and toys will be won in crane games. There were lots of neat goodies! It’s hard to…
Pulling off a good Little Sister cosplay is tough! Go too far one way and you’ll look creepy, go too far the other way and you’ll try and look sexy and end up being even creepier. This one, though, nails it. Taken at this year’s Otakon, and snapped by photographer LJinto, they’re everything that’s awesome…
Well, you can’t! What you’ll soon be able to do, though, is the next best thing, which also happens to be something the iPhone excels at: play a game that’s paying tribute to Wind Waker, but isn’t actually Wind Waker The game in question is called Oceanhorn, and while the game’s hero certainly looks familiar,…
Banning. If you’re playing online and, well, cheating, they’re a part of life. The newly released Modern Warfare 3 is no exception. According to Modern Warfare 3 developer Infinity Ward, the bannings have begun. “1st round of #MW3 bans going out,” tweeted Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling. “Any player attempting to play unfairly or boost rank…
Aww, I thought we were done with this, publishers? Charging for cheat codes was the craze sweeping the nation in 2007-2009, until even EA, who helped start the trend, realised it was a little beyond the pale. Guess Capcom never got that memo! The Japanese publisher has released a piece of downloadable content for Dead…
The newly-built Akiba Culture Zone is a 7-floor building. It’s the geek district’s newest landmark, a mere four minute walk from the station. What wonders await inside? The Akiba Culture Zone first opened this summer, with the third to fifth floors opening late last month. The sixth floor is slated for a November opening. It’s…
