Stan Lee’s recent cameo in Marvel’s Spider-Man was more of a direct fourth-wall break than some of his other appearances. It was also pretty lovely, I thought. Rest in peace, Mr. Lee.

I wonder if the NFL really thought this whole Fortnite deal through… 

Battlefield V’s Singleplayer Is A Nice Surprise

Given the game’s bizarre debut trailer, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down with Battlefield V’s singleplayer game mode. Even without taking that clip’s haphazard tone into account, that’s a familiar feeling when it comes to DICE’s games, which can never seem to keep the same singleplayer formula running for more than…

Haunted House Board Game Betrayal Legacy Takes 13 Thrilling Hours To Play

The haunted-mansion horror game Betrayal at House on the Hill is an easy, irresistible pitch for board gamers: You explore a mansion, creepy stuff happens, you unearth possessed items, then somebody turns evil and y’all have to kill them or something.

Kirby Fans Are Once Again Being Treated Like Royalty

Earlier this year, I foolishly thought Nintendo and the people at HAL Laboratory might allow 2018 to be something less than another luxurious year to be a Kirby fan. How wrong I was. Maybe some non-Kirby fans can find some hope in what’s gone down with Kirby these last few months, if it’s any indication…

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, One Month Later

It’s been exactly one month since the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which made the risky decision to jettison the single-player campaign in favor of an online-only approach. So far, it’s been a smoother-than-expected ride, with a few speed bumps along the way. While the launch content was plentiful, Black Ops 4…

An EA representative has told Kotaku that the developers are “aware of the issue and investigating a fix for” a glitch preventing Medic from reviving fallen teammates in Battlefield V Which is good, since it was pretty awkward just standing there as my buddies died.

The New Smash Trailer Is Better With Pop Music

Over the weekend, Nintendo released a new commercial for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate without any background music. The internet proceeded to work its magic and there are now hundreds of different versions of the video floating around set to songs ranging from Prince’s 1991 to the Dragon Ball Z intro music. They all somehow work…

The Detective Pikachu Movie Is Not At All What I Expected

I’m not sure how to feel about Ryan Reynolds turning Pikachu into a gritty, snarky detective, and in fact this first trailer fills me with all sorts of insane mixed emotions, but I do know that Detective Pikachu, which comes to theaters next summer, will be a must-see. Just watch it:

Hands-On With Sims 4‘s Long-Awaited Terrain Tools

Alongside the Get Famous expansions pack, The Sims 4 is finally getting terrain manipulation tools in a free update. I got an hour-long advanced look at the new update and expansion, including about 15 minutes to play with the terrain tools, and , they look like they’re going to be worth the wait. The Sims…

Microsoft’s New Studio Acquisitions Show How Much Xbox Has Changed

It came as a mild surprise when Microsoft announced Saturday that it was purchasing not just one but two mid-sized studios with a focus on role-playing games. But as strange as it seems on the surface, the deal makes perfect sense for all three parties. At the end of a relatively uneventful Xbox showcase in…

The beautifully pixel animated, hoverbike racing game Desert Child will release for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on December 11. It takes place in a futuristic solar system where you can customize your ride to shoot stuff and win races all while chilling to lo-fi hip-hop.

Kingdom Two Crowns, the sequel to the sidescrolling strategy/building game Kingdom New Lands, will be out on console and PC on December 11, publisher Raw Fury announced today. More surprisingly, the game’s medieval European campaign will be supplemented by a Japanese one, with more settings added post-release.

The Death Of Final Fantasy XV DLC Memorialized In Mod 

Last week, it was announced that 75 percent of Final Fantasy XV’s upcoming downloadable content was canceled. This past spring, it was announced that there were four more DLC episodes, called Ardyn, Aranea, Luna and Noctis. Only Ardyn remains, and it’s slated for March 2019. The others have been killed off.

Scum Bug Gave Players Ever-Growing Dicks

Online survival game Scum issued a patch yesterday that fixed a number of bugs in the game. Among them one where a player’s penis size “would get bigger with each login.” That’s not where the dick-related patching ends, either. Of the 16 bugs addressed in the update, three were directly related to player junk, including…
