ReviewsSonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed: The Kotaku Review
In a year in which I reviewed demanding motorsports simulations like F1 2012, and NASCAR The Game: Inside Line, with Forza Horizon thrown in for good measure, I can guarantee the toughest racing game I’ll play is Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed That is no joke. It’s simply one of the least-accessible cart racers…

Steelseries Free Mobile Controller: The Kotaku Review
Nothing this small should work as well as the SteelSeries Free Mobile Controller does. Years of development have resulted in a tiny, pocket-sized controller that had me overlooking its small stature the moment I started playing a compatible game. Finding a compatible game? Not nearly as enjoyable. My experience with the SteelSeries Free controller at…

Halo 4‘s Multiplayer Is At Its Best When Players Break the Rules
Now that Halo 4 has been out in the wild for over a week, it’s proper timing to accurately assess its multiplayer prowess. I had a lot of fun messing around with the various modes during my review event, but how does being in a room full of gamers compare to lounging on my bed…

Borderlands 2: Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage: The Kotaku Review
The newest Borderlands 2 DLC is an arena-based battle. It’s also a set of questlines in a campaign mission to become the biggest, baddest badass of the Badass Crater of Badassery. Still with me? Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage is all about proving you’re the baddest dude or dudette in Pandora, because only the baddliest…

ReviewsAverMedia Live Gamer HD: The Kotaku Review
Video capture devices confuse the hell out of me. For years I’ve wanted a hardware solution for PC video capture, perhaps something I could also hook a game console up to, but after a string of ill-informed purchases and a box full of cards that didn’t do what I wanted them to do, I settled…

ReviewsNatural Selection 2: The Kotaku Review
Natural Selection 2 is the first ever game I’ve enjoyed watching more than I’ve enjoyed playing. If that sounds like an insult, it’s certainly not intended as one. Rather, read it as perhaps one of the highest compliments I could give. Natural Selection 2 is good stuff—but playing it is only half its purpose. First,…

Call of Duty: Black Ops II: The Snacktaku Review
I don’t know if it’s the “rating pending” box or something specific to the Xbox 360 version of the game, but I’ve been chewing for hours and all I’ve got to show for it is disc shards slicing painfully into my gums. Thanks a lot, Activision. Snacktaku is Kotaku’s take on the wild and wonderful…
