The Ninja Gaiden Zombie Game Contains At Least One Panty Shower

Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, the zombie-centric Ninja Gaiden game, is on display at E3 and I can confirm one thing: there is at least one incident of panties raining from the sky. In the pre-alpha E3 demo, cyborg-ninja protagonist Yaiba throws a zombie into a truck. That zombie then drives said truck into a panty…

Contrast Teases You with Sexy, Dangerous Shadowplay for the PS4

This clip for the indie title from Compulsion Games doesn’t explain a lot. What it does do is give you a window into an art-deco, burlesque-happy world where you’ll be able to go from human to shadow in an instant. The aesthetics look wonderful and there’s a hint of interesting light/dark game mechanics in there,…

So, people generally agree that Sony kicked Microsoft in the junk when it came to their E3 presentations. But did more people meet untimely ends during the PlayStation press event than in the Xbox one? The best way to find out is to watch The Gameological Society’s newest Murder Report video.

E3 is a Barrel of Fun for Reggie, Iwata, and Miyamoto

E3 is just one big giant field trip for Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aime and—lurking in the background—Shigeru Miyamoto. This image went up on Nintendo’s Facebook page earlier today. The three senior company figures were clowning around with a giant statue promoting Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Let’s hope they don’t post a follow-up picture…

Now This Is How You Do An Artistic Trailer

Certainly the first sports game trailer to give me some rather strong vibes of the Wagnerian sort, in any case. Apart from classical music, we also get a better look at the latest installment of Konami’s yearly soccer series, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014. PES 2014, which was featured briefly during Konami’s pre-E3 show last week,…

Half The Male Voices In Video Games In One Picture

Actually, half is probably a conservative estimate. Nolan “I Voice All Of The Things” North and Troy “I Too Voice All The Things” Baker appeared together in a panel at the Turtle Beach E3 booth about — something…important I’m sure. Now kiss!

Watch Dogs’ Multiplayer Lets You Screw With Other Players’ Good Times

So far, there’ve only been the tiniest of glimpses at the multiplayer component for Ubisoft’s upcoming techno/open-world game. Sure, you can hack into other people’s games but how deep does that go? In an official Ubisoft blog post, it’s revealed that players will look like NPCs when they hack into another person’s game but will…

What The Heck Is Angry Birds Go!?

No, it’s not what you say every time you see a new Angry Birds post — it’s a new game being teased by Rovio over at Go.AngryBirds.Com. Looks like it could be a fowled-up endless runner, or maybe a racer? Either way, it’s coming. Grab some paper towels.

EA ‘Didn’t Make It Easy’ to Understand Its Wii U Intentions, Says Exec

The boss of Electronic Arts’ games labels admits the company has sent vague, if not conflicting messages about its intentions on the Wii U, but with the BBC he wasn’t going to be more specific about what games, if any, they’d be making for the console in the future. “We didn’t make it easy for…

The Clueless Gamer himself, ladies and gentlemen. As witnessed by Kotaku’s very own Stephen Totilo.

The Division‘s Most Interesting Idea Is Happening On An iPad

The neatest thing about Ubisoft’s just-revealed The Division wasn’t the graphics (they’re fine) or the guns (they shoot stuff) or even the intelligent grenades (they roll around and blow up). It was the way the game works with an iPad. (Or really, any tablet. But let’s go with iPad.) At a hands-off demo at Ubisoft’s…

Mario & Mega Man: Together at Last

A human. An android. Will they be friends? Foes? Who knows? My first thought after seeing this image from the official Super Smash Bros. site: “A million slashfic stories start here.”

Sounds Like Final Fantasy XV Might Get a Sequel

The newly announced Final Fantasy XV looks like a big game. It could even be big even for a successive title—something like a Final Fantasy XV-2, if you like. Perhaps! In various forms, the game has been in development for a long time. And when speaking with Famitsu.com, Final Fantasy XV game designer Tetsuya Nomura…

Leviathan: Warships Takes a Level In… Smooth Jazz

Hey, remember Leviathan: Warships‘ smooth jazzy pre-order trailer? Well, the makers of this snazzy little wargame put out a free update that introduces that smooth jazziness to the game itself—by making the trailer’s narrator one of the announcers.

“The Definitive Mario Kart” Runs At 60 Frames-Per-Second

I’ve poked fun at Nintendo about their “It’s all about the games” mantra from this year’s E3, but it rings true, especially when you’ve got what producer Hideki Konno is calling “the definitive Mario Kart” on your hands. It’s lovable, playable and now immensely share-able, and it runs at a blazing 60 frames-per-second — potentially…
