You can’t stick a Game Boy Color cartridge in a Game Boy. Most of ‘em won’t work. Here are almost 1000 examples of games telling you that

Darkest Dungeon Ruins Its Endgame

I love Darkest Dungeon, which is why I decided never to finish it. It’s the only reasonable response to a game whose gruesome charm fades so drastically overtime. Its cruel world and Lovecraftian savagery rival games like Sunless Sea and Don’t Starve, but stay too long and you’ll eventually see its grizzly nightmare transformed into…

Tales of Symphonia and Sniper Elite 3 are both free on Steam this weekend. That means that for approximately the next 24-32 hours, you can download either game and try it out. Shooting Nazis in the face is always fun, and Symphonia on PC should be a less broken now after months of patches

Counter-Strike Pro Obliterates Other Team Without Using Crosshair

We all knew Spencer “Hiko” Martin had mad skills. Despite losing to his former brother in arms, Oleksandr “S1mple” Kostyliev, in last weekend’s semifinals where Team Liquid fell to the eventual ELS One New York champions, Natus Vincere, there are few people more terrifying to meet in a lonely CS:GO alleyway. Hiko did nothing to dispel…

Overwatch Player Dunks On People Telling Him Not To Play A Character

Before a match begins, a good Overwatch team will negotiate what roles people take during the round. While that’s expected, plenty of fans still manage to be huge dicks about telling other players who they ‘should’ or should not play. Jokester videogamedunkey has recorded a bunch of instances where jerks explicitly told him not to…

New VR Mode Changes Game’s ESRB Rating, Even For Players Who Don’t Get The New Mode

Many PlayStation owners received a system notification on Thursday that the frenetic arcade-style shooter Super Stardust Ultra is getting bumped up from an ESRB rating of E to E10+. A video game’s rating doesn’t usually change after it’s been released. In this case, strangely, the rating will change even though, for some people, the game…

Mob Psycho 100 Season One: The Kotaku Anime Review

This summer’s breakout anime was, undeniably, Mob Psycho 100. From the creator of 2015’s viral anime One-Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100‘s first season was an absurd, psychedelic feast drawn up by Studio BONES. Its frenzied art style is unmatched by any other contemporary anime, although Masaaki Yuasa-directed titles like Mind Game or Kaiba come close…

Slayer Shock Is A Stealth Game For Buffy Fans

Do you ever wish you could play a Buffy The Vampire Slayer video game that didn’t feature whichever cast member you like the least (such as all the men Buffy dates because they are terrible models for young people’s relationships)? Slayer Shock might have you covered. Slayer Shock is the latest from Minor Key Games,…

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location Is More Than Just Jump Scares

I went into Five Nights At Freddy’s: Sister Location feeling skeptical. The last FNAF game made some changes to the formula, but the whole shtick felt kind of worn. This time, however, developer Scott Cawthon has some new tricks up his sleeve. You can watch me go through the first couple of days in the…

A Closer Look at The Witcher 3′s Most Outrageous Quest

The Witcher 3 is an astounding RPG full of countless quests. It ranges from sweeping epic battles to smaller, more intimate tales. I started playing the “Hearts of Stone” DLC recently and experienced a quest so wonderful, I had to take a deeper dive. This quest is so damn great that Kirk Hamilton also found…

FIFA 17 Accidentally Used A Real Guy’s Twitter Handle, And He’s Pissed [UPDATE]

FIFA 17 is praised for being true-to-life in every regard—so true-to-life that, hell, developer EA even included a real guy’s name and Twitter handle. And, boy, is he pissed. Released late September, FIFA 17 offered “The Journey,” its new story mode which followed athlete Alex Hunter’s rise to soccer glory. In-game, one of Hunter’s fans…
