Hideo Kojima showed off the full body for his studio’s logo, which he previously described as “very cool.” He was right. It is! Doesn’t look like Kojima Productions looked toKotaku readers for inspiration, but as this tweet shows, the battle dress does look familiar:
Don’t be sad! Be happy, because you can now buy tubes of faux tears in Japan just for cosplay. As pointed out on GameOver, this is Namida Gel AS. “Namida” means “tear,” and this clear gel can be used to simulate, well, tears as well as sweat for sad or gruelling cosplay. Apparently, the gel…

XCOM 2 just got its biggest DLC expansion yet, Alien Hunters. It adds three new “ruler” aliens, which function as bosses who, unlike other XCOM 2 enemies, can escape and appear in multiple battles. I was surprised to find that it’s kinda like the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor Alien Hunters focuses on three…
While the GameTrailers crew is back with a new venture, anyone wanting to see their old site’s content can now find it hosted on IGN’s YouTube page
During the recent Dreamhack Austin event, Hearthstone pro Terrence “TerrenceM” Miller came in second. It was quite a moment, a breakout performance for a relative unknown. And while many viewers were impressed, others in the thousands-strong Twitch chat refused to stop pointing out the obvious: Miller is black. You can probably guess which slurs were…
ARK: Survival Evolved got another map today, a Tolkien-inspired landscape that doubles the game’s size. But the game’s developer, Studio Wildcard, didn’t make it. It was a mod from the community that became popular, prompting Studio Wildcard to offer a bunch of money for it and hiring the guy. This map, called The Center, is…
DOOM levels are pretty straightforward: kill demons, find the exit. But there’s a lot hiding beneath the surface, and though it’s optional, I’ve become obsessed with finding everything before moving on. I don’t usually do this in games! Collectibles are usually bullshit, time wasters meant as padding. I’m not against collectibles as a concept, though—they’re…
Today, Valkyria Chronicles comes to PS4, and if you’re looking for a new strategy-RPG, you could do far, far worse. Although the folks at Sega haven’t added anything to this new remastered version of the 2008 PS3 game, they didn’t really need to. Thanks to some fantastic art direction and a really cool battle system,…

Salt & Sanctuary, both a 2D take on Dark Souls and an excellent game, is now available on PC. Previously, it’d only been out on PS4, and it’s coming to Vita…eventually. If you’re looking for something to fill the Dark Souls 3 void until the DLC arrives later this year, this is a good option.
First-person mods in this third-person series are nothing new, but they’ve previously been fairly janky affairs. This one looks good enough to trick you into thinking it’s meant to be in the game. It’s not, of course, since playing the game like this is for lunatics and those not up to speed on the the…
For a while now, some lucky Fallout 4 players have been able to play unreleased DLC as a part of a closed beta held by Bethesda. Anyone participating in these tests is technically under a non-disclosure agreement. Things haven’t really been working out that way, though. From the very first Automatron DLC beta back in…
Oh how far we’ve come. Turner Broadcasting is kicking off the spring Counter-Strike tournament in their eSports initiative, ELEAGUE, so they got someone as big as their ALL-CAPS LOGO to promote it: retired basketball player Shaquille O’Neal. Because sure, why not! It’s actually a pretty funny video. Or at least, you know, a couple parts…
It doesn’t seem like a Timesplitters sequel is coming anytime soon, but as a consolation prize, Homefront: The Revolution has the next best thing. The reviews haven’t been kind to Homefront: The Revolution so far—stay tuned for our own take on the game!—but hey, at least the game seems to have some cool easter eggs?…
Maybe this will please some fans who are still mad about Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare—the Xbox 360 version of Black Ops is now compatible with Xbox One, Microsoft said today. Call of Duty: Black Ops was one of the most-requested backwards-compatibility games, along with Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, and Black Ops II. It’s on…
Being famous on YouTube might seem flashy, with some channels accruing millions of subscribers and views. But for the most part it’s just someone in their house, chatting intimately with a viewer as if they were old friends…or lovers. Enter Asagao Academy, a video game about dating YouTubers. In 2014, video game and pop culture…
Last year’s Dragon Ball Xenoverse is getting a sequel. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will arrive this year on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, publisher Bandai Namco said today. Bandai says we’ll see more from the new DBZ game at E3 in June. Here’s the full press release: SANTA CLARA, Calif., (May 17, 2016) – BANDAI…
This morning brings us a rare gem: footage of the cancelled Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game for PSP, which was due to be part of the Elder Scrolls Travels series before it was axed. Game preservation channel PtoPOnline brings us a few new videos, showing off what an Elder Scrolls game on PSP might have…
