We are all over PC gaming this week , but what do we know about PC gaming? Each day, one Kotaku editor will reveal their PC gaming knowledge and share some memories. Yesterday you read about Crecente’s experiences, and now? Now you can read about mine. Are you a PC gamer? For several Texas summers…

Having starred in his own motion picture and video game, comic star Scott Pilgrim is now rendered in small plastic form, ready for you to take home and…do whatever you want with him. Going on sale next April (!!!), there will be two figures available, one in a t-shirt with a bass guitar, the other…
It’s trendy now for Japanese games to try to appease Western tastes. El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron does not care about what’s in. “As a Japanese creator, I want to make something that only Japanese people can make. I don’t want to follow the European people’s way,” El Shaddai designer Takeyasu Sawaki tells website…
If Dragon Age II’s last trailer was a little too pre-rendered for your tastes, you may enjoy this new one more, as it’s naught but in-engine footage. I get a really strange vibe from this game. Not in a bad way, just in a…you know when a movie sequel has a different director to the…
Banana-feeding, booze swilling video game Dream C Club is getting an anime. It will involve singing and girls with giant eyes — just like the game! The animated version of Dream C Club features song clips and goes on sale in Japan on November 10. The name of this song is “Koi・KOI☆weekend!” with “koi” meaning…
Police in Orlando have shot and killed a man who was attempting to evade arrest after holding up a GameStop store. The unnamed suspect robbed the store on South Kirkman Road with a gun earlier today, before attempting to escape in his car. Police gave chase and eventually caught up with the man, who after…
These days, cross-promotions are all the rage in Japan. Monster Hunter in your Metal Gear Solid. Ace Attorney in your Professor Layton. This Tales of Graces collaboration might be overdoing it, though. In PS3 game Tales of Graces F, there is a downloadable “Toro” costume. Toro, aka the “Sony Cat”, is the company’s mascot character…
While American McGee’s Spicy Horse Games is busy at work on the new Alice game, some of the team have enough spare time left over to release cool little iPad applications like Akaneiro. It’s mostly a straight-up storybook, taking the classic tale of Red Riding Hood and transplanting it in fuedal Japan. It does have…
Game developer Atlus is bringing PlayStation 1 role-playing game Persona 2: Innocent Sin back for the PSP 11 years after its original release. As noted by website Siliconera, one big gameplay change is the ability to see the demons’ emotions. This, it seems, will simplify in-game negotiation. Macross Frontier anime studio Satelight will handle the…
And now, thanks to Happy Wheels, I can live the dream. Happy Wheels is what would happen if ExciteBike was run by Jackass, only instead of drinking horse juice and punching each other in the balls, they were losing limbs and endangering the lives of small children. The game’s running on a browser, so you…
On November 2, PlayStation Portable game God of War: Ghost of Sparta hit stores. But its developer, Ready at Dawn, is already questioning the rationale for creating PSP games. Don’t blame the hardware, blame piracy. Ready at Dawn’s Ru Weerasuriya talks to game site VG247 about the PSP’s piracy problem. According to the game designer,…
Diablo III’s Mistress of Pain terrifies attendees at Blizzcon. As seen on Wired Gameface is a photographic celebration of the people who make, play and love video games.
While we’ve seen plenty of screenshots and trailers for Nintendo 3DS games, one thing we’re short on is quality, real-time gameplay footage. Let’s fix that! We’re of course limited by the fact the 3D doesn’t work through a monitor, and that these are some pretty shaky shaky-cam shots, but they’re better than nothing! There are…
Back in 1999, Bandai launched its own portable gaming system, the WonderSwan. That bird’s day has flown, but a WonderSwan developer is now developing a new Xbox 360 title. In 2001 and 2002, Kanagawa-based Qute Corporation worked on a hobby development kit for the WonderSwan called WonderWitch. Save for an online game, the studio has…
Guess Apple boss Steve Jobs had a very good reason for being upset at Microsoft’s purchase of Halo creators Bungie: according to a former Bungie staffer, Apple had itself been on the verge of buying the now-famous developer. Former project lead Tuncer Deniz has told Develop that Bungie’s big cheese had, around the turn of…
To gamers of all sizes, well computer gamers of all sizes, there is nothing more frightening to behold than an unexpected Creeper. When I opened the email from reader Supermarioman with a this picture of the Creeper he made of cardboard and tissue paper I nearly flipped out of my chair. Imagine the unsuspecting parent…
Great. Now the nightly off-topic thread is infested with zombies. *And* it’s a trap. Guess you better get in here and help talk the rest of us through it. Speaking of zombies, Robert “Doom CMYK” Mangaoang frequently points me to his zombified creations on Twitter, which are gory and good, like this undead Admiral Ackbar.…
Blacklight: Tango Down and Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare may be the most exciting new additions to the North American PlayStation Store, but no other piece of content has a name as great as Z.H.P.: Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilman. New demos abound this week, with small samples of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, Majin…
Sony has finally done it. They’ve mated a Sony Ericsson cell phone with a PSP, spawning this… the PlayStation Phone. Don’t call it the PSP2, please. That’s something else entirely. Engadget has first pics of the PlayStation Phone prototype, hopefully just its ugly duckling stage, with the gadget blog saying it’s “headed into the market…
