Digital Storm’s Budget Gaming PC Doesn’t Sacrifice Power for a Reasonable Price
Digital Storm is a boutique gaming PC maker that I’ve traditionally associated with putting together mind-blowing systems that cost more than the vehicle I drive. So when they announced a new line of affordable gaming rigs starting at only $799, I was taken aback. What could the company that’s built the “world’s most advanced PC”…

Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls: The Snacktaku Review
Hostess has the name. Tastykake has the heritage. Those two giants in the snack cake game have dominated the hearts and mouths of preservative-infused baked goods since the invention of “creme”. But, as the dead Jedi says, there is another. Forged in the heart of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Little Debbie is a Southern tradition, as sacred…

ReviewsMadden NFL 13: The Kotaku Review
The question is asked every year and yet it seems irrelevant for a franchise with no competition: “Is this the best Madden ever?” It’s a high and a low bar at the same time. Of course it should be the best Madden ever. They had a year to update and improve the last one, after…

ReviewsIs the World’s First Truly Wireless Xbox 360 Headset Truly Worth $300?
Tritton’s Warhead 7.1 Wireless Surround Headset does something no other third-party Xbox 360 headset does: it allows players to use voice chat without plugging a wire into the controller.

Cinnabon’s Pizzabon: The Snacktaku Hideous Abomination Review
Sweet on top of sweet, smothered with cloyingly sweet; that’s what Cinnabon means to millions of people around the world. But the company that made its name by delivering over-sized spirals of doughy depression to the masses has developed a taste for the savory, and with the new Pizzabon, its hoping you will too. The…

Doing Battle with Fall of Cybertron‘s Bruticus Figure
Back in February when Hasbro announced it would be making a toy of the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron version of Decepticon gestalt team Bruticus, I was absolutely ecstatic. Now that I’ve got the San Diego Comic-Con variant of the toy in my hot giant hands? Still pretty ecstatic, though that doesn’t mean I can’t be…

ReviewsDarksiders II: The Kotaku Review
I am become Death, destroyer of crates. Also vases. And skeletons. And bees. And, oh yes, enormous slavering eldritch horrors from Hell. I destroyed a bunch of those, too. Darksiders II begins more or less where the first Darksiders left off. In that game, War—as in, the apocalyptic horseman—accidentally triggers the Armageddon before the correct…

ReviewsSleeping Dogs: The Kotaku Review
Oh, Sleeping Dogs. Thank you for rescuing me from this slow, slow summer. Before Square Enix/United Front Games’ open-world kung-fu game, the most recent exciting game was Spec Ops: The Line. And not even everyone was 100% in love with that Sleeping Dogs came just in time to stir up the doldrums. It had been…
