Welcome To Mobile Gaming, Angry Dungeon Keeper Fans

After spending the better part of two years covering the mobile gaming beat for Kotaku, I found myself puzzled over the anger surrounding the free-to-play features and rating policies of EA Mobile’s new Dungeon Keeper game. Then it hit me — you guys must be new. I do understand the anguish over what feels like…

Someone Made A New Portal 2 Campaign… Without Portals

I was poking around for interesting Portal 2 maps to play, and instead found an entire mod that replaces the portal gun with a gun that shoots the blue and orange gel from Portal 2. Even better, it has an entire storyline with a new character. Aperture Tag is a mod inspired by Tag: The…

​The Hardest iOS Game I Ever Played Is Still Hard But Still a Favorite

Playing Eliss Infinity is like taking care of a toddler. It’s fun, stressful and, if you do it wrong, poop winds up on everything. Ok, maybe not that last part. But, it does communicate the idea that something incredibly valuable in the universe needs the constant attention of your hands to live. No pressure. The…

A Real Adventure Time Card Game. And A Digital One. All The Card Games.

Remember that one episode of Adventure Time where Finn and Jake played “Card Wars” against each other? Soon you’ll be able to do that to. Play “Card Wars”, not remember the episode. Not that you won’t remember. Ahem. Card games, and digital card games are coming, yo. Coming on Wednesday, February 19 to a specialty…

Mighty No. Alpha: here’s Keiji Inafune briefly playing an early Mighty No. 9 build—you might remember it as the spiritual successor to Mega Man. The game is not done, obviously, but its still nice to see progress!

They Drank Too Much Space Coffee. And Now Everyone’s Dead.

Because nothing is scarier than running out of (space) coffee. In Caffeine, a currently heavily in-development indie horror-adventure game, you step into the role of a little boy who wakes up to find himself on an abandoned spacecraft of some description. Of course, deserted corridors, bloodstains, and creepy, fast-moving shadows are soon to follow. Take…

​Popular Zombie Game Rust No Longer Has Zombies In It

Open-world survival games where you need to worry about other people more than the fantastical enemies. Hugely successful creations that are in alpha and are nowhere near finished. Weird shit happening when people mess with each other. Yes, Rust and DayZ are pretty similar. But, as of last night, only one of them will have…

WTF Searches: the things people Google are sometimes amazing—here are six autocompleted searches with accompanying illustrations that show just how bizarre Googling can be sometimes. For example: “Americans think Obama is a cactus.”

Time to go back to the island, Jack. Ubisoft has sent out a release saying that Far Cry Classic—a remastered version of the open-world shooter already announced for Europe—will be heading to the U.S. The publisher says it’ll sport “graphical enhancements, revamped cut-scenes, and a fresh new user interface” and will be a $9.99 digital…

Not only is The LEGO Movie out in theaters today, The LEGO Movie Video Game is out in stores as well. Can the game of the film be as good as the film of the toys? I don’t know, man. My copy just got here. If all else fails, the game comes with a $7.50…

Wow, Elder Scrolls Online Graphics Comparison is Like Night And Day

Sure, the difference between playing the PC version of a game on minimum and maximum settings is a big one. It’s supposed to be. But the gulf between the less-intensive option for The Elder Scrolls Online and the all-of-the-things alternative looks massive. The side-by-side comparison comes courtesy of IGN, who ran the upcoming MMO with…

Basically Team Fortress 2 With Extra Gore And Better Guns

When I first glanced at Loadout I mistakenly thought it was a Team Fortress 2 clone. (I’m sorry for judging you by your looks.) It’s similar in that they’re both team based arena shooters, but there’s a key difference: you get to make your own guns. You can be creative with them, too. There’s no…

If Only The Walking Dead Was As Good As Conan O’Brien’s Parody

In honor of last night’s appearance by the cast of The Walking Dead, Conan O’Brien and his team put together this amazing zombie show opener that’s more entertaining than an entire episode of AMC’s drama. Mind you, this is coming from a huge fan of the comic book, so a certain amount of show spite…

So, How’s That Transformers MMO Coming Along?

Hey kids, remember that Transformers Universe MMO that was being made by the folks who gave you Runescape? Jagex is still hard at work on that browser-based beast, and they’ve got a new, not-entirely-CG trailer to prove it. After an incredibly quiet 2013, Jagex is ready to make some noise with Transformers Universe. From here…

Everquest Next Landmark might be in early alpha, but that doesn’t mean its players are any less creative. Take jordanneff’s tree fort: while simple, it’s a very good example of just how clean and great-looking you can make your buildings in this game. With a good lighting setup, you’re basically all set. Here are a…
