While North America got home-grown popstar got Justin Bieber for Google Chrome commercials, Japan got a homegrown star of its own for Google Chrome ads. Make that, a virtual homegrown star. That’s right, Hatsune Miku appears in a Google Chrome spot. Other Japanese Google Chrome spots do feature the likes of Lady Gaga, who is…

Cosplay isn’t only about the costumes. It isn’t only about the cosplayers. The photographers are key. Cosplay is a photo-based medium. That’s why many well-known cosplayers are reluctant to have their photos snapped out of costume or even why many always work with the same photographer. Today, Kotaku is looking at Singapore-based photographer Shiro Ang…

Spotted at Tokyo’s Akihabara Station, this fellow is apparently passed out on the railing near the escalators. Never have metal rails looked so comfy. It looks like the individual has a bag of something; it is difficult to make out. In the background, a train speeds by, and an individual in a purple coat snaps…
This summer, six years will have passed since Final Fantasy Versus XIII was first shown in trailer form. Talk about a long time. As previously mentioned in Aug. 2011, Square Enix actually did not begin work then. By 2009, Square Enix showed gameplay footage, and now in early 2012, the game’s designer, Tetsuya Nomura, is…
Our short but beautiful run of Retro Game Master episodes is now over. So sad. You may not know, however, that there are way more episodes out there our broadcast deal didn’t cover, many of which you can watch right now, for free. Sure, they’re not dubbed, so those who don’t like to read and…
Most maid cafes aren’t exactly visually striking. The decor lacks pizzazz. Japanese maid cafe chain Maidreamin has pizzazz out the wahzoo. The cafe is Mario meets maids, while guzzling electric Kool-Aid. It’s a trip. Maidreamin has locations throughout Tokyo’s Akihabara, but its Shibuya establishment and its new Osaka locale are stunners. They aren’t your standard…
Mortal Kombat, once just one of those games we knew was coming to the Vita somewhere down the line, is now coming this Spring. It’s basically the same game as the PS3 version with “brand new gameplay features and content developed exclusively for the new handheld device”. And what are those? Warner says they “will…
What Mass Effect, Portal 2, Deus Ex, and BioShock have in common are memorable worlds and visual flairs. Not sacrificing either, artist Pieceoftoast traded the games’ high-def graphics for pixels. The result is stunning. Seeming to channel Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, the art not only captures the feeling and mood of each game, but…
What was once a fancy, moody Half-Life mod looks to be one of 2012’s fanciest, moodiest games, as Dear Esther – up for four awards at this year’s Independent Games Festival – lulls us into stillness with this new trailer. It’ll be out on PC on February 14. Chances are you will have never played…
A guy in his bedroom, with a dangerous sleeve weapon. No, you’re not watching Taxi Driver, but rather, YouTube user Angelegend showing off his arm-blade. You know, like the ones in Assassin’s Creed The arm blade was created from things like a door hinge, which doesn’t sound easy. According to Angelegend, “It’s a bit complex,…
I tend to let monthly sales charts wash over me these days because, well, I’m 31 now and don’t give a shit which console sells more than another in any given month. Sometimes, though, I like to get a little hypocritical and take a peek at annual sales. And 2011’s make for interesting reading. While…
I shouldn’t enjoy this. It’s an internet cat video, playing out a tired video gag from a game I’m pretty sure I’ve over-consumed in the past two months. And yet…here it is. After I laughed. In spite of all that. I think it’s more the victim’s reaction after than the shout itself, because unlike the…
Republished from Kotaku Australia A member of the FBI is in the room but we’re not sure who or where he is. He probably already knows everything about us. Our phone lines are probably already tapped. We’ve probably been x-rayed in our sleep. We bet he loves black coffee and cherry pie, too. We keep…
As consoles become more like personal computers with their patches and their upgrades, so too do PCs become more like consoles, with more people using control pads and hooking them up to TVs than ever before.
