Mamiya, the village leader in the new Fist of of the North Star game, gets a new downloadable costume today. It’s not “new” per se as it’s based on what she wears in the manga. Or so we thought. In fact, the earlier released artwork does not exactly correspond with what players are getting in…

Metal Gear Solid? More Like Metal Gear Solid Advertising, Your Billboard Here Comment by: surft Nominated by: Takara_Kitsune Very Old Snake: War has changed.

Like, really stiff. The girl isn’t, though. She’s into aerobics. To bring everyone up to speed, one time cosplaying Ikki Tousen ladies swung by to play video games, another time a mistress spanked ASCII staffers and, of course, the time the gladiator girl helped with office work. If anyone ever asks you what is the…
Toy company Sideshow will be releasing this Lara Croft statue later this year, which is unique for the fact that the emphasis is on her face and equipment, not her…equipment. The design of the statue is inspired by Lara’s look in Tomb Raider: Underworld, which is probably my favourite of the lot. I just think…
It’s a question Kotaku gets a lot: Why do you refer to Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski as “Dude Huge”. There is a reason. This is it. For years, Cliff Bleszinski had been known by the moniker “CliffyB”. And then suddenly, during the promotions for Gears of War II, either he or Microsoft had…

Not that there are a ton of music videos about arcade cabinets. There should be, however. That’s retro game lover Keith Apicary singing an ode to the red Neo-Geo Multi Video System cabinet. This video is so right: No one quite did 2D fighters or runnin-and-gunnin’ like the MVS. Music by FantomenK, lyrics by Nathan…
Since Mass Effect 2’s newest piece of downloadable content, Kasumi – Stolen Memory, deals with crime in the art world, we’re left wondering who was behind this, surely the galaxy’s most well-endowed art heist?
