It Takes A Special Game To Make Me This Obsessive, Bravely Default
I’m fifty-two hours into my first play-through of Bravely Default: Where the Fairy Flies. All four of my characters are level 99, each has all 24 of the game’s jobs mastered.

Virtual reality headsets abounded at last week’s Game Developer’s Conference. Between the new Oculus Rift and Sony’s Project Morpheus we got some amazingly ‘Shoppable pictures of Kotaku editors wearing VR headsets. You know what to do.

It’s the combat that matters, and WildStar‘s isn’t very much like WoW at all. With the June launch just a couple of months away, we’re finally getting our first…

The Best Cosplay Of The London Super Comic Con
Oh Sneaky Zebra, how I love the way you’ve changed boring cosplay shots into music videos filled with elaborate camera zooms. London fandom represents, in this first SZ video of 2014.

Thirteen Years Of Halo Nostalgia In Six Perfect Posters
Deviant Artist and Halo fan Scourge07 combined his penchant for art with his passion for Bungie shooters to create a series of wonderful minimalist posters, one for each game in the series. Well, each core game at least. I do not see a Halo Wars entry, nor do I see one for Spartan Assault, the…
