Don’t forget to join us later today for our weekly live episode of Kotaku Talk Radio. Stephen Totilo and I will be on hand live, well mostly live, to discuss the start of the big roll-out of big titles this fall, how Tokyo Game Show went, the art of cosplay and the PSPgo. We’ll also…
Tokyo Game Show has a lot going for it, but perhaps the most interesting thing is it over-the-top cosplay. All shows pale in comparison to TGS when it comes to dressing up like a video game character. Don’t believe me? Check out Michael McWhertor’s three galleries of the stuff. Which is your favorite?
The dogs have had their month. Please talk about games today, and feel free to suggest next month’s image — spookier Halloweenish ones if possible. Confused about commenting on Kotaku? Read our FAQ.
To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: Uncharted 2: Beaten! Luke Plunkett is getting married — to another person, even. Congrats! Wonderful happiness. Delightful.

He’s going…

While Guitar Hero is a license to print money, DJ Hero is less of a sure bet. For all we know, it may stink up the joint! That’s not bothering Activision, though, as they’re already looking for more developers. More developers, and more artists. According to GI.biz, “at least one independent UK games developer” is…
Dubbed “Osu! Phoenix Wright“, this home-made PC rhythm game takes its cues from the Elite Beat Agent rhythm games — with some added Phoenix Wright and awesome. There’s Queen, too. Queen makes everything better. Osu! [Official Site via GoNintendo via GameSetWatch]
Those that made their way through to the “end” of Knights of the Old Republic 2 will be aware that the game they just “finished” wasn’t anything of the sort. Tight timeframes ended up in a rushed development cycle, in turn resulting in a game that had huge chunks missing from the final, playable product.…

Next Spring, Capcom is bringing Super Street Fighter IV to game shops. It, however, won’t be bringing the game to arcades. “So, unfortunately, I’m sorry to say to arcade fans out there: there won’t be an arcade version of this,” Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono told website GamesReactor. I think a lot of people…

This December, Final Fantasy XIII will hit Japan on the PS3. The release date is December 17 — so how long would players need to finish the game? A week? Those who can barrel through the title on the quick might want to pre-order the ¥7,980 (US$88.88) title through retailer TSUTAYA by September 30. That’s…
Errol and Pifie have written a walkthrough to help you beat the grand-daddy of text adventure games, Zork. You won’t find it on Gamefaqs, however, because it’s written as a rockin’ three-minute song. It’s called Walkthrough, and was penned as part of the 50/90 songwriting challenge, where entrants must write 50 songs in 90 days.…
As an addendum to our feature on booth companion uniforms, here are more photos that examine the outfit close-up. There are bonus photos of the outfits the male staffers wore as well.
The Star Wars: Darth Vader Wii Sensor Bar. For those with $50 lying around the house and a need to make it look like the Dark Lord of the Sith is ecnased in the carbonite of your entertainment unit. Looks awful. Though, with that GIANT LIGHTSABER, we’re sure a few will be scooped up by…
Besides being used in robotics, stepper motors were sued to read and write floppy discs back in the day. They can also be programmed to make noise — musical noises. Here, three stepper motors have been programmed to play the Super Mario Bros. theme song. *applause* The Super Mario Bros. theme song, played by 3…
The Final Fantasy XIII Trailer from TGS sure was epic, no? Pity for us English-speakers it was all in Japanese. Not so this trailer, which has been thoughtfully subtitled for your viewing pleasure. If only Square Enix’s localisation teams worked this fast…
Heroine Kaine in the upcoming Cavia-developed, Square Enix-published RPG NieR is a male-female character that gives players the best of both worlds. This latest screenshot is revealing a little too much, some claim. Various Japanese sites are stating that this Kaine screen shows off the character’s areola. Embarrassing enlarged screenshot below. Breasts in gaming have…
According to “a trusted source” speaking with Joystiq, the production company run by former Disney boss Michael Eisner is looking at putting together a Mechwarrior movie. Which is a terrible idea. Not because I hate Mechwarrior; far from it, I adore Battletech. It’s just, giant robot fighting on the big screen has already been perfected…
Capcom’s newly announced Super Street Fighter IV features not only favorites like Dee Jay and T. Hawk, but a new character as well. A new character like South Korean fighter Juri. There is a reason for Capcom including a Korean fighter, it seems. Producer Yoshinori Ono explains that while making the arcade version, the president…
