Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Game And Apple Watch: The Winners!
Last week we asked our image manipulating community to show us what sorts of games they’d like to see on the minty-fresh Apple Watch. As it turns out, most of them are insane. Oops.

A Tale Of Two Megatrons
Once upon a time there were two Decepticon leaders. One was officially Megatron, or as close to Megatron as Hasbro could get these days. The other was Apollyon, the third-party creation from X-Transbots. The $44.99 Hasbro Combiner Wars Megatron tried very hard to be the best Megatron he could be. He had a very Megatron-like…

What Mario’s Nightmares Sound Like
