What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Fleeing from the NeverDead tyranny, the last Battlestar, Goodlactica, leads a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest to a shining planet known as UFC Undisputed 3 THQ’s mixed martial arts simulation landed on my doorstep today. Much as I’d like to spend time with Gregethor, my do-over mage in Skyrim (currently level 12, enrolled…

The Roof, the Roof, the Roof is Not on Fire, Says Konami
An image circulating Twitter earlier today seemed to imply a Konami office building in Japan was burning. It most certainly was not, a spokesman told Kotaku. Reading into Japanese Twitter users’ feeds, it appears this “strange smoke” might be only building steam. All is well.

Five Days of Pure Unadulterated Gaming App Hotness
Balls were kicked. Knights were wound. Towers were defended. Passwords were hacked, and the dead rose to detect among the living in another spectacular Week in Gaming Apps. What a wild and wonderful five days it has been. We got to play a colorful little tower defense game with an unfortunate pay scheme. We learned…

This Dancing Bear is My Favorite Part of Street Fighter X Tekken
One of the only things better than beating a friend at a fighting game is childishly gloating about it, and no gloating is complete without an amazingly victory dance.

The Most Adorable Exploding Humans I’ve Seen All Day
We reported last month on EA’s upcoming Warp, a top-down puzzler featuring Zero, a cute and cuddly little orange alien who makes humans (and anything else) explode violently into bloody goo. Today, we get to see Warp‘s gameplay in action! Really, there’s something deep-down comically satisfying in seeing a burbling little colorful G-rated guy pop…

Hate The New Silent Hill 2 Audio Tracks? Turn ‘Em Off
We reported late last year that Silent Hill 2 was getting an HD makeover. As a fan of that game, I see myself as a bit of a purist and snob. Honestly, I think it comes with the territory. So I kinda scoffed at the idea of someone re-dubbing the entire game for it’s re-release…

Concept Artist Behind Fallout 3, Skyrim Has Died
I played something like 130 hours of Fallout 3. I adored many things about it — and, admittedly, hated a few others — but my absolute favorite part was exploring the world. The entire history of this never-quite-was version of Washington, DC could be read in its architecture, its artifacts, and its people. The game…
