Literal Lyrics For The Halo: Reach Trailer

This Is John Carmack’s Next Rocket

Doom co-creator John Carmack also helps create rockets. At QuakeCon 2010 in Dallas, Carmack was displaying his latest, which he hopes to launch this month.

Go Back, Patch, And Do It Again

Patching and fixing games are not new concepts, nor are they exclusive to sports games. But sports gamers are increasingly calling for a do-over, and studios are responding.

The Old Pouring-Liquid-Nitrogen-Into-The-Computer Thing

You thought Xbox Live was bad? “ChoZo” would like an F-word with you. Here’s 10 minutes of hilarious rage that makes the Mel Gibson phone calls sound like Bob Ross on The Joy of Painting. Warning: Very strong, loud language. The video, spied by eagle-eyed (and iron-eared) Kotaku reader Zaglis, helpfully features an F-word count…

Box Scores: Two-Minute Drill

Kotaku commenter Connor S. managed to get his hands on an early copy of Madden NFL 11, and played “the most insane two minutes of football I’ve ever seen,” before anyone else got the game. Connor says he got a copy of the game to try out pre-release thanks to the fact he works in…

The Moneysaver: Soon The Hunt Will Begin

You’re ghostin’ us. I don’t care who you are back in the world, you give away our coupons one more time, I’ll bleed ya, real quiet. Leave ya here. Got that? Today’s mangled quote comes from Bill Duke, apparently the only cast member of Predator who did not run for governor. Hardware • Dell has…

The Week In Review: Duke Nukem Finally?

The rumor that Duke Nukem Forever might arrive at long last raises an interesting question. What thrills us more, the game’s release, or the thought of it?

Hasta La Vista, Kotaku

I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle. Failing that, I need you to get into this thread and terminate this week with extreme prejudice (read: stimulating conversation). Next time we see each other, Kotaku readers, I’ll be on German time. Only the finest German beers, sausages, rouladen, sauerkraut and potatoes can make me…
