Forza 6 Puddles Will Ruin Your Day In The Best Way

I fell in love with Forza Motorsport 6 the first time I hit a dynamic puddle at high speed and my BMW went apeshit. Originally published on 9/9/15. Having spent the better part of a year enjoying the freedom of Forza Horizon 2, I wasn’t sure I was ready to return to the structured races…

Until Dawn Was A Very Different Game In 2012

Until Dawn has been in development for a very long time. It was originally announced as a PS Move game for the PS3 back in 2012. I’ve been going through the old footage, which looks weird (and in one case, kinda creepy!) now. Sony and Supermassive Games have been trying to make an interactive slasher…

Announced last night at TGS, these upcoming new PS4 controllers are beautiful. I especially like the see-through controller (aka “Crystal”)—it reminds me of my old-school GBC. I can’t decide if gold is tacky or not, though. Silver is definitely classy! Here’s hoping these controllers come stateside.

Bitch Planet Gives Patriarchy a Feminist Middle Finger

Bitch Planet is the best kind of fucked-up: a comic that entertains, breaks hearts and wields the power to change the way you look at the world around you. Kelly Sue DeConnick writes something incredibly cruel in the first issue of Bitch Planet. There’s a scene in the comic—written by DeConnick, with art and design…

Destiny‘s New Missions Are Way Better Than The Old Ones

I spent this morning powering through the first main story quest of Destiny: The Taken King, a video game about how cool Nathan Fillion is. I am happy to declare that everything about it is excellent. We’ll have day-one impressions later tonight—and a full review much later, once we’ve played through the raid—but for now,…

Bloodborne‘s DLC Trailer Is Packed With Small Details You Probably Missed

Sony briefly showed off the Bloodborne expansion coming in November today, and while the trailer was short, it was soooo full of stuff. Let’s take a closer look. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, here’s the whole thing. If it felt like that all went by in a flash, you’re not wrong. When I…

Welcome To Year Two Of Destiny…

…where a random shitty green gun has a higher attack value than a maxed-out Red Death from year one. We knew this was coming, but still… it stings a bit.

The Video Game That Chicago Deserves

We Are Chicago was hardly the best game I played at PAX, one of gaming’s biggest gaming conventions, last month. It was rough and unfinished. My wife, at another demo station, barely got through it. In trying to depict life on the Windy City’s troubled South Side, it’s not trying to be fun, but it…

There’s A Free-To-Play Match-Three Game Out On Consoles Today

From Facebook to mobile to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Disney’s Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight is the first free-to-play match-three game on consoles. It probably won;t be the last. Despite being plagued by the genre on our social networks and phones for years, console gamers have largely dodged the colorful and likely delicious Candy…

The Trials And Tribulations Of Metal Gear Solid V

Being Snake isn’t easy in Metal Gear Solid V, and animator John Lebeouf summarizes all the pain he has to go through with supply drops, Pequod and the Skull Face’s Parasite Unit.

Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel For PS4: The Kotaku Review

Since I started on my racing wheel kick back in October of last year, aficionados have been urging me to give Logitech’s popular G27 wheel for PS3 and PC a spin. Instead, I jumped forward a generation. WHAT IT IS The Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel is essentially an upgraded version of the G27…

Rocket League Goal Is Painful To Watch

The good thing about Rocket League goals is that they don’t require the best players out there to end up being awesome. Or painful. Or both. Zer0Ping’s footage is probably both. It’s seriously hard to count all the misses. There are so many of them. To contact the author of this post, write to: [email protected]
