I’m Loving Titanfall 2‘s Crosshairs

I’m working my way through Titanfall 2 and will have a review next week. For now, we need to have a very important discussion about the game’s user interface. One small touch makes it truly shine. A very nice thing about Titanfall 2‘s UI is that it is clean. Some folks might look at the…

Battlefield 1 Players Are Trying To Solve A Mysterious Morse Code

The search for answers is on as Battlefield 1 players have found strange headphones across various maps and odd morse code messages relayed from special locations.

The Division‘s Rocky Road

Ubisoft’s third-person shooter The Division has been one of 2016’s most interesting successes and one of its worst fiascoes. The people who make it now hope it can also be the year’s best comeback story. On Tuesday, the game’s developers will issue a major patch that is designed to do nothing less than overhaul a…

A Beginner’s Guide To Battlefield 1 Multiplayer

Battlefield 1‘s multiplayer is very intense. While the game teaches you some basics during the campaign, it doesn’t do much to explain what’s going on in the multiplayer.

Battlefield 1: The Kotaku Review

Matthew McConaughey once said that sometimes you need to go back to move forward. The team at DICE must have been very moved by that sentiment. Taking it to heart and pushing the Battlefield series nearly 100 years back into World War I for this year’s release of Battlefield 1 was a gamble. It has…

Some Battlefield 1 Players Are Sucky Squad Leaders 

Being a squad leader in a Battlefield game can be intimidating. It’s hard enough worrying about your own skin when there’s tanks rolling around, mortars dropping, and baddies on the prowl. I get it. But some of you suck at doing your job. Some of you are great squad leaders but for you clowns who…

Glitch Ruins Destiny Players’ Attempt At Raid Glory

A bug in Destiny’s Rise of ‘Wrath of the Machine’ raid prevented a top clan from getting the world’s first completion on the newly released Hard Mode difficulty.

Infinite Warfare Multiplayer Isn’t New, But It’s Still A Good Time

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare hasn’t particularly had my interest but after playing a weekend of its multiplayer, I’m impressed. Running around as a machine gun armed robo-soldier was a damn good time. I don’t know if Infinite Warfare dazzles the same way that larger scale shooters like Titanfall 2 or Battlefield 1 do but…

A patch scheduled for October 18 will raise the light level in Destiny to 400 and improve the light levels of loot offered in the game, hopefully making players’ rise to 370 to access Rise of Iron’s raid less of, in our reviewer’s word, a “slog.” Good news, given that the creatively-designed raid is worth playing.

Battlefield 1’s Multiplayer Undercuts Its Dramatic Single Player Campaign

Diving into Battlefield 1 has been a surprising experience. Making a game that focuses on the absolute tragedy that was World War One seemed like a setup for failure. The single player campaign has genuinely impressed me, but when multiplayer is added to the mix, there’s a fundamental tension that cannot be reconciled. Battlefield 1’s…

Battlefield 1 Lets You Play As A Pigeon

Battlefield 1 makes it a point to look at the Great War from a variety of perspectives. “Through Mud and Blood” focuses on a British Mk. V tank crew before shifting to a very unlikely point of view.

Battlefield 1’s Tiny Gun Is Ineffective But Glorious

Battlefield 1‘s campaign manages a somber tone but the game still manages to sneak a ridiculous pistol into the multiplayer for some laughs. It’s super small and super not deadly. Youtuber jackfrags captured footage of the dainty Kolibri pistol in a new video. Just look at that reload animation! So elegant! A true gentleman’s weapon!…

Battlefield 1‘s Opening Actually Says Something About WW1’s Pointless Carnage

I didn’t know how Battlefield 1 was going to approach the Great War, which was historically not great at all. I was worried they’d treat it like a fun game. But “Storm of Steel” doesn’t shy away from the war’s brutality. Spoiler Warning: If you want to experience this incredibly interesting and smart bit of…

Members of Origin Access and EA Access can now download the ten hour trial for Battlefield 1, an entire day before originally planned. The early trial was meant to go live tomorrow but it can now be downloaded on PC and Xbox One by members. The download comes in at 40.39 GB total on PC…

Blizzard Should Make Overwatch‘s Excellent New Brawl Permanent

Junkenstein’s Revenge marks the first co-op brawl in Overwatch. Fighting against waves of zombie robots and holding off the horde is some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing the game. When I first saw the trailer for Junkenstein’s Revenge, my mind recalled furious matches of Team Fortress 2‘s Mann vs. Machine mode. This…

An Important Part Of Video Games Happens Offscreen, In Our Imaginations

In 2008, Dear Esther asked players to do more than just press buttons on a controller. The game asked them to use their imagination to build a personal narrative. Eight years later, contemporary titles like Hitman and Mafia III are also catching on to the value of imaginative play. I don’t think the entire experience…
