GTA Short Turns Assassination Gone Wrong into Awesome Chase Scene

Listen: contract killings can go wrong sometimes, okay? It’s just something that happens. But, in Los Santos, chasing down the guy you’re supposed to kill isn’t always that easy. Crafted by YouTuber Boris the Blade using the Editor in the PC version of GTA V, The Hit is a stylish action sequence that keeps you…

As Far As Hobbies Go, This is Wonderfully Odd

Meet Tomoyuki Shioya. The 32 year-old spends his days at a corporate job. In his free time, he enjoys his hobby: Taking photos in those head-in-a-hole boards. To date, he has over two thousand photos of them. They are fantastic. He’s always on the look out for a new entry in his collection. “I can…

New League Of Legends System Wants To Reform Bad-Mouthers

Riot Games’ latest attempt to help stop jerk League of Legends players from being such jerks isn’t a different type of ban, it’s a potentially helpful piece of feedback. The new system, which started in North America yesterday, is based on report cards. When a player is flagged as having displayed “negative behavior”, the game…

Not A Hero Is A Smart Shooter, Drenched In Blood (And Jokes)

Its launch trailer was soaked in blood and British humour, but all that bluster is hiding a very clever, very precise video game. We’ve taken to calling the game “British Broforce” here at Kotaku, which is mostly fair; both games involve a roster of very different characters that can be employed to tackle side-scrolling action…

More Bloodborne? More Bloodborne.

Delta Airlines’ Meme Safety Video Is Garbage

Ugh. Maybe I’m just grumpy, but I pretty much hate this new Internet-meme-ridden safety video from Delta airlines. It’s a miles-long marathon cringe, an endless procession of dead horses brought out and beaten mercilessly. Try watching it. If you’ve kept up with the Internet at all over the past couple years, you probably won’t be…

Not Even Mortal Kombat Can Kill Jason Voorhees

Well this is downright horrifying. A few players have found a curious glitch where Jason Vorhees refuses to stay down, even after experiencing brutalities that dismember him or behead him. Shoryuken explains that this happens because Jason has an “Unstoppable” stance, which allows him to revive himself—even when he’s technically not supposed to be able…

A Very Bloodborne Sneak Attack

What is this, a stealth game? Nope. (via uncle-scrooge @ Reddit)

Glitch Accidentally Brings Peace To MMO Battlefield

Under normal circumstances, “World versus World” is a game mode in Guild Wars 2 where players from different servers duke it out. The entire point is competitive conflict. But yesterday, that strife briefly disappeared. The ceasefire wasn’t planned or intentional. Rather, it was the result of a surprising bug, PCGamesN reports. “Yes, you read that…

How A Joke About Reddit Making An eSports Team Spiraled Out Of Control

“Oh here’s a new message I just got: ‘get the fuck away from League and git gud fagboy,’” Will Debassige said last night over Skype. He’s been getting a lot of messages like that lately. And just a week ago, before everyone on League of Legends subreddit seemed to hate him, nobody even knew who…

The Witcher 3 Downgrade Controversy Sucks

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen growing fan anger around the hotly anticipated video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Turns out, the finished game doesn’t look as good as the early versions shown off in trailers. It’s not the first game to leave gamers feeling misled, and it won’t be the last.…

Smash Bros. Player Is So Damn Good, There’s Now A Bounty On His Head

Gonzalo “Zero” Barrios is on a hot streak. Since November 2014, he’s come in first for every Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament he’s participated in. That makes a whopping 34 consecutive first place wins for the 1v1 category. It’s absurd. Things have gotten so ridiculous, that now even spectators are trying to see…

H1Z1 Cheaters Publicly Apologizing For Chance To Get Unbanned

23,837 players were banned on Monday for cheating in H1Z1. Some players want to come back, but there’s a price tag for grace: you have to publicly admit you cheated and apologize. H1Z1 is an online survival zombie game, as so many games are these days. This one comes from Daybreak Game Company, which used…

One Thing Not Changing at DC Comics: Batman Kicking Superman’s Ass

Superman isn’t as tough as he used to be. There’s a new guy calling himself Batman. You know what that means: it’s time for a classic superhero misunderstanding fight where the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight throw down again. Like it’s been doing for the last few weeks, DC Comics is putting out…

Video Game Strategy Guide Found In Osama Bin Laden’s Compound

Guess what was discovered on a bookshelf at Osama bin Laden’s compound during the US raid from 2011? A strategy guide for Delta Force: Xtreme 2 and “videogame guide” by GameSpot. We should be clear, however, that it’s unlikely bin Laden himself was using these books, as they’ve been classified under “documents probably used by…

No One Knows What Destiny’s New Hidden Coins Do Yet

Right now, players are finding mysterious small coins throughout the new Destiny expansion, House of Wolves. Nobody is quite sure what they do yet, or how many there are. But they’re hopeful that the coins will do something. One of the first documented coins was found entirely by accident, as Fohacidal attests in this video.…

Why You Should Care About Heroes Of The Storm

“Well, that wasn’t good,” I said. My team had just been defeated in a game of Heroes of the Storm. “Eh,” my friend Alex replied as the colorful mush of the on-screen battle faded into a dark red “DEFEAT” screen. “It doesn’t feel any different if you win or lose in this game.” Alex was…

Mad Max Comic Shows How Fury Road’s Villain Rose To Power

If you’ve seen Mad Max: Fury Road, you know that the movie doesn’t explain much about the blasted world it happens in. But there’s a new comic that fills in more backstory about the crazy War Boy called Nux and the albino tyrant he works for. Published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint, the Mad Max:…

Watch Me Die Four Times In The First Five Minutes Of Steredenn

A lovely pixelized combination of shoot-em-up and roguelike, Steredenn changes every time you play, which is the excuse I’m using for all the deaths. Oh come on, it’s hard enough playing a shmup when you aren’t trying to talk about it at the same time. At least if this glorious beast were a standard shooter…
