ReviewsSour Watermelon Marshmallow Peeps: The Snacktaku Review
I considered Marshmallow Peeps the pinnacle of the pure sugar delivery snack pack, a pure and simple delight that could not be improved upon. Sour Watermelon Peeps have proven me wrong — there is another. Flavored marshmallows don’t normally do anything for me. That’s because marshmallow is lousy at flavor transport, capable at best of…

ReviewsPlants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare: The Kotaku Review
The most rabid player of PopCap’s Plants Vs. Zombies series I know sat down next to me as I loaded up Garden Warfare for the Xbox One. After watching me play for five minutes, she stood up, said “I’d be so lost playing this”, and wandered off. The rabid player in question is my wife-creature,…

If Only Cobra’s Baroness Was This Cool In The ’80s
Cobra Commander was an incompetent buffoon; Destro a vainglorious bastard. The real power behind the Cobra organization stands before you now in majestic 1/6 scale. All hail the Baroness.

ReviewsMountain Dew Cheetos: The Snacktaku Review
Back away slowly, America. These flavors — they are not for your ilk. Do not follow me into madness, for that way lies Mountain Dew flavored Cheetos and more than 127 million Japanese people. Do not blame me for bringing this insanity upon us — my desperate hunger for new snacking experiences is an entity…

ReviewsForget The Candy Crush Clones, This Match Game Is Like No Other
With a glut of Candy Crush Saga clones flooding iTunes, it was beginning to look like there was no more room in the match puzzle genre for innovation. Then came ZEZ, rocket-punching that idea in the head. Every 60 second round of ZEZ begins with a cat punching a robot with a rocket glove. In…
