Wartime survival game This War of Mine is out today for iOS and Android tablets. A depressing game, but it looks at war from a point-of-view rarely explored in video games, so it’s definitely worth a look.

Coming this fall to PC, Mac, Linux and tablets everywhere, Spicy Horse's (thankfully) tentatively-titled Hell Invaders brings collectible card games to life in full 3D real-time strategy battles. It's sort of like EA's BattleForge, only — okay, it's pretty much BattleForge.

Power A has the MOGA. Nyko has its PlayPad. Steel Series has gone Free. Everybody's trying to get into the mobile gaming controller market, looking to deliver a game pad solution that all game developers can embrace. Mad Catz isn't just building a mobile game pad. They're creating a universal Bluetooth technology…

Look, folks, tablet makers are going to keep trying to seduce you. Armed with numbers that you don't necessarily care about—like these stats about the rise in mobile gaming--they're going to dangle assorted games, controllers and accessories that try to convince you that playing on a phone or tablet can be as…

It's impossible to read a Kotaku comment thread about iPhone or iPad games without wading through a bevy of grumpy dissenters—disgruntled gamers who say things like "iPad games aren't real games!" and "lol iPhone."

For much of the past week, I've been test driving OnLive's new app and controller pairing. The tech on display impressed me with the response time and the simple fact that, all of a sudden, the gaming options on an iPad are approaching parity with what you can get on a PC.

My preview yesterday about OnLive's new tablet app focused on the controller, because it's the crucial piece for playing a certain kind of game. But the cloud gaming company's making a slew of titles playable by touch input as well. There will be three kinds of input that OnLive will be implementing on tablets:…

DC Comics has been garnering lots of media buzz, heightened awareness and increased sales on the heels of its recent New 52 reboot.

Maybe no company's speaking to as many different strata of gamers as Ubisoft right now. You want hardcore action games? They'll serve up the Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six and/or Prince of Persia series. You want a goofy party game? Choose from the Just Dance, Michael Jackson and Black-Eyed Peas franchises. Think…

With new handheld devices from Sony and Nintendo either out or on the horizon, it's understandable (if a little puzzling) that execs from both companies insist that tablets won't affect the prospects of the Nintendo 3DS or PlayStation Vita. People still want gadgets that are primarily about games, the suits say. …

Sony's first new PlayStation tablet is going on sale later this month. To hold you over until then, how about some photos of the tablet and its clamshell cousin, in the flesh?

To go with its PlayStation Phone, Sony will soon be releasing a pair of wild and wacky PlayStation-certified tablet computers as well. Which, as of today, have most of their release info locked down.

So, this is the new Start screen for Windows 8. It's a brand new interface for tablets. It looks a lot like Windows Phone Live Tiles. And hey, that looks like an app store.

Cat food purveyor Friskies has released a trio of iPad/Android tablet games for our feline friends to enjoy. Tasty Treasures, Party Mix-Up and Cat Fishing, aren't the first iPad games released for cats, but they may be the first games on any platform used to advertise to animals.
