OK, they didn’t really build it. But Nintendo did send along the supplies, complete with Nintendo-themed candies. Trish, Tristan and I built the Gingerbread house, complete with a trapped Mario, waiting for his princess to save him. Rudolph by J.E.L.L.i.
Players must compete in MutantBash TV. These are the mutants. You don’t bash them. You shoot them. Lots of them. Players must grab ammo as they move through the stage. The environments are well detailed and well designed. Is this really an iPhone game? Yes.
To: Crecente From: Bash RE: What I’m Doing Right Now I usually buy fruits and vegetables at the supermarket, but since I live in somewhat of a rural place, we occasionally get produce from the farms of friends. Like this! I don’t know if it’s the fact that the food didn’t come wrapped in plastic…

If you type “Edison Chen” into Google Image search, you’ll probably see him singing, dancing and screwing. Lots of screwing.

Microsoft’s internal news crew Channel 9 recently paid Xbox HQ a visit, bringing a camera along for the ride. If you’ve ever wanted to see what the place that runs the Xbox looks like, well, you are about to. While there’s nothing particularly scandalous, nor revelatory about the footage, it’s still nice seeing this kind…
You know in Predator how the creature is able to cloak itself in the surroundings and appear almost invisible? Well, someone figured out how to do that on Kinect. Japanese modder Takayuki Fukatsu used Openframeworks and Kinect to create this Predator-style (Metal Gear Solid IV OctoCamo-style?) mod and prove beyond a doubt that not only…
Some publishers of Nintendo DS games like to install their own anti-piracy measures, which while being unable to prevent pirates from physically copying a game, can prevent people from enjoying those pirated copies. It appears as though the DS version of Michael Jackson: The Experience DS is one of those games. Users who grabbed the…
On January 1 of this year, Japanese copyright law changed. If you’ve seen this warning screen and you’re downloading DS games from the internet, you might end up on the wrong side of Johnny Law. In The Land of the Rising Sun, uploading files like video games is illegal, but Japanese gamers who download these…
The PlayStation 2 isn’t dead. It’s just sleeping. Sleeping in the belly of this Sony Bravia LCD television set, with which it’s become a co-habitant in a bargain-priced entertainment solution. This is the KDL-22PX300, a TV that’s recently been released in Europe. Up top is a compact 22″ LCD screen, capable of a maximum resolution…
For those who don’t have an original PS3, there’s a lid covering the slots on the console’s front. Slots that are perfect for mini SD cards or — better yet — letters. That’s exactly what was found in one PS3. Recently, a Japanese gamer bought a used 60GB PS3. Apparently, the guy found a folded…
Earlier this year, Blizzard attempted to introduce a “real ID” system, whereby users on the company’s forums would have their real names shown. It, uh, didn’t go down very well. So why has Apple now done exactly the same thing? It may not have done it in quite so public a fashion as Blizzard, but…
It was already known that Yun and Yang were heading to the arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV. That’s not who I’m talking about. The end of the latest trailer shows “Evil Ryu” and “Oni Akuma”, confirming rumors that both would be appearing in the arcade edition, to the chagrin of fans. Super Street…
Zynga, the social games powerhouse behind games like Farmville, made a significant purchase today, scooping up Newtoy, the developers of super-popular iPhone game Words With Friends. This has us concerned. And not just because Zynga has — and this is serious — renamed the Dallas studio “Zynga with Friends”. No, we are concerned at what…
It’s late. You know who reads Kotaku late at night? You. So let’s talk. Here’s how it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn’t some marketing survey or whatever. It’s an emotional investment in you. Yes, we’re interested in knowing you, Kotaku reader person. You probably know…
This is our first look at Telltale’s upcoming Back to the Future series of adventure games. If you enjoyed any of the three films, even in the slightest, you must watch this clip. Not for how Telltale have seemingly captured the spirit of the films or the time. Or for how the super-stylised versions of…
The music might sound familiar. That’s because it is. Kat-Tun is a popular Japanese boy band. But when popular boy bands steal, the internet knows it. Released in mid-November, the group’s newest single features a track called “Never X Over”, which sounds exactly like a popular Vocaloid tune. Vocaloid is synthesizer software that was developed…
The next game from the makers of indie hits The Maw and ‘Splosion Man is pink and wears a bow in her… hair? Twisted Pixel Games doesn’t have much to add to the news that their next game will apparently be Ms. Splosion Man. Here’s their tongue-in-cheek press release in all of its silly glory.…
