Today, Capcom announced an Attack on Titan game for Japanese arcades. That’s about all we know! According to Inside, all the Osaka-based game maker showed this afternoon at the Japan Amusement Expo were title cards revealing the project. So, sadly no game footage. The screen says “Capcom” and “Attack on Titan” (進撃の巨人). And this card…
Track: Gz and Hustlas | Artist: Snoop Dogg | Album: Doggystyle Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
One of the few things that wasn’t computer-generated in the recent Hobbit movies was all the sweet Middle Earth calligraphy, which was done by the same artist responsible for the most of the books (and maps) of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. That man is artist Daniel Reeve (via Laughing Squid), who did…
Fallout is sort of anchored in that retrofuturist 1950s post-war culture thing and I can’t think of a single thing that represents that culture more than the humble black and white television. Therefore playing a game like Fallout: New Vegas on an ancient, still-functioning black and white CRT TV? That seems like a perfect fusion.…
Mech pilots of the future, remember: you don’t always need to drape your killing machines in drab, depressing paint schemes. Don’t be afraid to splash a little colour around! If you’re worried about attracting the enemy’s eye, remember: this is the future! It’s all about radar and targeting computers. So if you want a candy-cane-coloured…
It can be easy to forget when you spend most of your time treating them as obstacles and target practice, but the NPCs of Grand Theft Auto V are people too. They’ve got their own lives to live, their own conversations to have, their own problems to solve. This great video by Incredible91852 and FishyDizzle…

Check out more, including a middle finger GIF I’ll be using as a wordless response to jerks for months to come, below. The Steam Community Showcase is a regular look at the cream…
If you like games or anime, chances are good that you’ve seen silly videos over the years where grown men enthusiastically tell you all about their favorite anime characters, and which “waifu” is the best one. There are of course anime fans who say ridiculous things like, “if you’d simply open up your mind to…
If you like PC strategy games, you should really listen to this podcast, where Soren Johnson (Civ IV) chats with Henrik Fahraeus (Crusader Kings II) and Jon Shafer (Civ V).
Waldo (or, in other parts of the world, Wally) is a tough guy to find. Even with those glasses and that stupid hat, he’s always lurking, hiding, just out of sight. Or, he was, until science kicked his door down and found a way to find him real quick and easy. Michigan State computer science…
Free-to-play games supported by sneaky in-app purchases reign supreme in the mobile world, but Apple has apparently started promoting games that shy away from doing so. You can reach the author of this post at [email protected] or on Twitter at @patrickklepek
Apple has been rejecting some mobile games from the iOS app store for displaying guns in their promotional material and app store icons. So far, the regulation hasn’t had an impact on actual in-game content. First reported by Pocket Gamer, mobile developers began receiving rejections from Apple on “iTunes Connect,” the portal through which the…
Anime might be popular in nerd culture, but that doesn’t mean people always understand what anime is all about. In fact, people often get anime all wrong. Anime sometimes has a stigma for people who don’t watch it. Or, people make misconceptions about what anime can be, as well as assumptions about the type of…
In the first three Star Wars movies, Darth Vader was a fearsome, enigmatic archvillain. The next three Star Wars movies attempted to show Anakin Skywalker as an emotionally turbulent figure of tragedy. The new Darth Vader comic gives readers both of those interpretations and more, enjoyably complicating a villain who been around for a whole…
Just got a New 3DS? Want to transfer all your digital games and save-files from your Old 3DS to your new one? Well, you’re in for an adventure. Since the two 3DS systems use different methods for storing data, the process for transferring those files is rather convoluted, in true Nintendo style. In fact, Nintendo’s…
