ReviewsMultiplatformMetal Wolf Chaos XD: The Kotaku Review
I hesitate to call any review of Metal Wolf Chaos XD complete if it does not include a long-winded anecdote about how I personally got rich in 2007 by selling off a stack of mint-condition copies of the Japanese Xbox original which I’d bought for less than $3 each.

Despite several years of being best-known for its sexiness, Dead or Alive has always been a genuinely good fighting game franchise.

Anthem: The Kotaku Review
Every once in a while, a game comes along that that does something surprising, different, memorable. Anthem is not one of those games. Much of this PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC game feels incomplete, while other portions are borrowed from games that did it better. The things that make Anthem special, like flying through…
