NPR Is Very Worried That Gaming Is Going To Turn Kids Into Nazis

In journalism, no two things are more often and easily confused than “this wild thing is happening” and “this wild thing is happening, widely.” When the wild thing is, say, mad cow disease—an immediate threat to life— the problem of weighing particulars against a greater sense of scale is critical. Readers can gauge their threat…

Both Switch And PS4 Versions Of Taiko No Tatsujin Are Fun In Different Ways

It’s a good year for drum-based rhythm games. Hot on the heels of the wonderfully quirky Gal Metal for the Switch, Bandai Namco’s released two new Taiko no Tatsujin drum games, one for Nintendo’s console and one for PlayStation 4. Which one to get depends on which sort of rhythm gamer you are. Taiko no…

Overwatch fans disappointed with Ashe should know that six new heroes are in the works, Blizzard has told Kotaku, and that fans hoping for more diversity in the popular game’s cast of characters will hopefully find what they’re looking for in upcoming updates. “I think if you look at the history of Overwatch, there’s been…

Warframe’s big Fortuna expansion is due out later this week on PC, according to a press release by Digital Extremes. Strangely, the studio didn’t provide a specific date. The expansion adds the game’s largest open world area yet, a new faction, hoverboards, and lots of other stuff.

A List Of Weird Names My Kid Calls My Video Games

You and I, as adults, know to call things by their actual names. My kid is four, and does no such thing. For reference, he’s been playing some of these systems and games for around 18 months now. Which is why, despite now being a four year-old kid who can actually do a fairly good…

The Best-Selling Games For PS1, N64, Saturn, And Dreamcast

Historical game sales data can be hard to come by, so I was quite interested to see NPD analyst Mat Piscatella tweet a series of all-time best-seller lists for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1, Saturn, Dreamcast, and Game Boy Color over the weekend. Some of these might surprise you! The game industry’s sales numbers have…

Overwatch‘s Ashe Is More Than Just Another Sniper

In many ways, Overwatch’s newest hero Ashe is a contradiction. She’s pinpoint-accurate at a distance, but she’s not exactly a sniper in the same sense as Widowmaker or Hanzo. Her HP pool drains faster than a water balloon hitting a ceiling fan, but she can get down in the thick of things and help capture…

In response to a complaint about Just Dance 2019’s Kids mode on the Switch mixing in songs that require a monthly subscription with the free ones, a spokesperson for Ubisoft said the publisher is currently working on solving the issue.

Red Dead Redemption 2‘s Mundane Tasks Bring The Game To Life

Much of my Red Dead Redemption 2 play-through has been spent on gunfights and long-distance rides on a faithful steed. These moments are a mixture of explosive excitement and calm. But the game’s best interactions are small. They are the tiny pieces of busy work and rote chores that give the game a sort of…

Warhawk and other PS3 games have had their server shutdowns delayed until January 31, 2019. The games were originally due to go offline late last month, even though in Warhawk’s case, owners did not receive the promised 90 days notice.

The ‘Free’ Gear in Black Ops 4 Is An Unforgiving Grind

You’re supposed to be able to earn flashy new gear via Black Ops 4’s Contraband Stream by either playing the game or spending money. But since arrival, it’s become clear that getting everything without opening your wallet is extremely difficult, and the whole thing feels like a scheme to get players to spend. Instead of…

When Blizzard’s sole Diablo announcement at this year’s BlizzCon turned out to be a game for phones, it set off a firestorm of angry reactions from fans who had hoped for a new Diablo on PC. But what about Diablo 4? UPDATE (8:32pm): This article originally stated that Blizzard had recorded a video, planned for…

An Excellent Way To Start Playing The Final Fantasy Trading Card Game

After two years of purchasing booster packs simply to admire the gorgeous artof Square Enix’s Final Fantasy Trading Card Game, I’m finally ready to play, thanks to the incredibly handy “Villains & Heroes” two-player starter set.

While Fallout 76 isn’t officially out until next week, there’s already a small but growing modding community for the game congregating on Nexus Mods, a fan-run network of mods for PC games.

Fan-Made PT Remake Captures The Original’s Terrifying Scares

P.T, the demo for Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro’s ill-fated Silent Hills, has gained a deep cult following since its release and eventual de-listing from the PlayStation store after Kojima split with Konami. A new PC remake captures most of the experience for those who don’t still have it on our PlayStations. The PC…

From Software’s VR Game Deraciné Is Short And Unsettling

Deraciné, the first PlayStation VR game from Dark Souls maker From Software, definitely isn’t for everyone. It’s a brief, slow-paced, story-heavy game set in a boarding school. You solve puzzles with an inventory of items in classic adventure game fashion, but unlike most classic adventure games, these puzzles are quite easy. Deraciné is more about…
