Shadow Of Mordor Won A Best Story Award, Which Actually Makes Sense
Dragon Age Inquisition may have taken Game of The Year at last night’s 18th annual DICE Awards, but how about Shadow of Mordor winning for Outstanding Achievement In Story?

Kotaku EastI Can’t be The Only One Who Wants Yakuza Zero in English So Badly
While there’s no word on a western release for the upcoming Yakuza 0, the latest trailer was just too awesome not to share. With English subtitles no less.

After a recent delay, Darksoulslike Bloodborne will be coming out on March 26 in Japan—along with this pair of PS4 models which, uh, basically have a slight variation of the box art on them.

A Tribute to Syphon Filter’s Taser
I say ‘tribute’. It’s more ‘a minute and a half of people being set on fire’, which, if you ever played the original, was one of gaming’s greatest guilty pleasures.

Assassin’s Creed Unity‘s Dead Kings DLC Is Disappointing And Glitchy
I may not have liked Assassin’s Creed Unity very much, but I was still excited about its free expansion Dead Kings, which then went and failed on me twice in its first two missions. Damn. I had been really excited to download this thing… If something that is more than 7GB can be called a…

Things have not been easy for the little portable console ever since its launch over 3 years ago. One of the biggest complaints early on after the Vita’s release was the lackluster library of games. However, since then,…
