Mario Takes Over a Sonic Game

The game is Sonic Generations. Or rather, Super Mario Generations, thanks to modder group Daku & Squiz. The mod (via DSOGaming), which has been in the works for a couple years now, basically lets you play through Sonic Generations as Mario, with the supporting characters also getting turned into various Mario ones like Peach, Donkey…

Chris Brown’s ‘Zero’ Artwork Sure Looks Familiar

Especially if you’re familiar with the manga City Hunter. Compare for yourself! Twitter user Gregoire Hellot pointed out that “Zero” single’s cover looks like it could be a City Hunter knock-off, adding that on the upside, this was proof of how international the manga has become. Heh. City Hunter ran from 1985-1991 and followed the…

One-Punch Man Shows Why Manga Will Always Matter 

There’s a One-Punch Man anime, so why even read the manga, right? Right? Um, no. Just no. Anime has a slew of strong points! It brings editing, voice acting, and moving pictures to manga adaptations. Anime is good. We like it. One-Punch Man started out as a webcomic and then was adapted into a brilliantly…

Inside Out heads outside. Disgust is Ladylili, Anger is Djaden Fury, Sadness is Pandora Clemy and Joy is Clef

Some Pretty Gross Witcher 3 Cosplay

That’s a compliment, mind you, since the Lady of the Woods is intentionally a super gross character. Cosplay by Elena Nerium Oleander, photos by Fillakteria

The Art Of Building Menus, Icons & Maps

User Interface stuff fascinates me, because it has to dance such a fine line between looking pretty and being useful. Fall too far on either side and you’re in danger of ruining a game; get it just right and, like Deus Ex and Mass Effect, you can become as memorable as any piece of character…

Giant Street Fighter Graffiti Covers Tokyo Building

Graffiti artist CASE (from German crew Maclaim) is famous for covering buildings in enormous, life-like images. This E. Honda he did last week in Japan is no exception. Done near the Tennōzu Isle Station in Shinagawa, Tokyo it’s around twelve stories high, and because of its size/prominence there’s a ton of cool progress shots of…

Oh, It’s N64 Games, Running On A Watch

Is this practical? No. But screw practical. Like we saw with Half-Life, trying to play a video game on a watch is futile. The touchscreen controls used by the emulator are just too damn small. But it’s the drive that we appreciate. If an “old” LG G Watch can run N64 games, then who knows,…

The Batmobile Is Just Wrecking Los Santos

brb, re-installing Grand Theft Auto V We’ve seen Batmobile impersonations in GTA V on the PC before, but this mod is the real deal. Recreating the “tank” design from Arkham City, taltigolt’s clip is the combination of three mods: esrohraw’s Tumbler, LUISDACOS’ texturesand xmod’s nitro boost Nice to see at least one Batmobile working properly…

Killer Joker Cosplay, Courtesy Of A Hollywood Legend

When Hollywood effects master Rick Baker wants to help make his family some Halloween costumes, everybody comes out having a better day. Baker—famous for his work on Thriller, An American Werewolf in London and Men in Black—and his family decided to go with a Joker theme this year, the exception being his wife Silvia, who…

The Week In Games: Something Something Call Of Duty

Is it Call of Duty week already? Man, I could really use a sandwich. If it weren’t readily evident from the release of the game’s official live-action trailer (starring the Human Torch until that memory gets scrubbed from my brain), Black Ops III comes out this week. Friday, for some godawful reason that I am…

Blade & Soul Is Going To Kill Me With Adorable

The Summoner class in Blade & Soul, NCsoft’s latest massively multiplayer Korean import, get to choose a feline companion to fight by their side for the rest of their days. There are other classes to play in the current closed beta, but they are not important. It bears noting that the cartoon of me doing…

Following last week’s re-release of a game still broken for many players, Warner Bros. is now offering full refunds on Steam copies of Batman: Arkham Knight until the end of the year. Everyone who purchased a copy should take advantage. As the legend goes, Warner Bros. released a shoddy port of Batman: Arkham Knight for…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: A Very Scare Bear Halloween: Winners!

I just cannot tell. I think this is the winner oflast week’s bear mask Photoshop contest, but I’ve seen such horrors. Such maddening horrors. The picture above wasn’t technically Ozimov’s main entry, but I feel as if his take on one of the strangest moments from The Shining is a great deal more horrifying that…
