Sesame Street Fighter is a basic little fighting game for browsers that, instead of asking for combos and special moves, is asking you to type stuff really really fast. Characters have different knowledge bases (Cookie Monster is animals, Grover is weather, Oscar is Russian cities, etc), and depending on who you select you’ll face a…
Surfing Raichu! Today, we got confirmation that Raichu’s Alola incarnation is real in Pokémon Sun and Moon, but ever since the leaks hit, people have been fascinated with the character’s new surfing form. Okay, okay. It looks more hovering than riding the waves, but who cares? This is ELECTRIC SURFING. And surfing on its tail!…
Here’s a neat look behind the scenes at Google showing how the company’s search page minigames (like the current Olympics ones) are made.
In case you haven’t heard by now, Overwatch porn is big. Search in the right corners of the Internet, and you’ll find sticky mountains of the stuff. The question on, well, somebody’s mind: what do people who like to pretend they are these characters think? Cosplay stunt mastermind D Piddy put four cosplayers—Kadu Out as…
Hardship is a social glue, especially in games. Shared victories and mutual defeat, confusion, frustration— these are bonding mechanisms that transcend the IRL-URL barrier. In MMORPGs, in which community is a main draw, the difference between a challenging game and an easy game can also mean the difference between a strong and weak community. I…
Priests are a little underpowered in Hearthstone right now, and have been for a while. So it’s no surprise that fans got a little mad when Blizzard showed off Purify, a terrible new card that will be added to the game tomorrow with the adventure pack One Night in Karazhan. Purify, which costs two mana,…
I’ve been working at Kotaku for five years. In those five years, I have posted hundreds of video game screenshots. I’ve taken hundreds more that never saw the light of day. UNTIL NOW. In honor of Gawker Media Senior Week, I went back through my screenshot folders to find and share some bad screenshots, and…
Team D.Va, activate! Welcome to the most annoying Overwatch team I’ve ever been a part of.
Falco and Fox trump Mario in this beautifully-choreographed Smash Bros./Super Mario Bros. crossover, “Super Fox Bros.” Pixel art animator Rebaz Talei crafted a “runthrough” of a Mario World level with a Falco-Fox duo. “Come on!”
Pokémon Uranium, one of the more interesting attempts by fans to build an all-new Pokémon game, is finally finished! We wrote about it a few years back, not just because of the length of time it’s taken the team to put it together, but for how ambitious the whole project is. It has a tropical…
We’re just a month and a half away from Final Fantasy XV, an RPG ten years in the making. And because this is 2016, there’s already a season pass. The $25 digital pass, which Square announced last night, will give you access to the following hilariously titled DLC packs: DLC 1: Booster Pack (Working Title)…
Jamel Wilkins says he Smashes with honor and dignity. And yet, for over a month, he was marooned in what players are calling “Smash Hell,” apparently an alternate server on which soft-banned Super Smash Bros. 4 players are forced to play with each other, regardless of their innocence. The troubles started when Wilkins picked up…
In the years leading up to the much-hyped release of No Man’s Sky, which launched yesterday, director Sean Murray talked several times about players being able to spot one another in the wild. So why hasn’t that happened yet? Yesterday, two No Man’s Sky players found that they were in the same region of the…
Spencer Kern, a man so handy we’ve featured his work before, has seen people’s Pokémon Go battery woes and decided to do something about it. Using a combination of woodwork, 3D printing and some electronics, he’s built this very lovely Pokécenter-themed charging station. The Pokécenter shell is hiding a solar generator, which stores enough juice…

This is Orwell, an upcoming PC game that puts you in the shoes of Big Brother, spying on your unsuspecting populace. For their own good, of course.
When I reviewed Cities: Skylines, I called it “a city-builder’s dream”. Remember, though, that you’re not limited to building just cities, as this relaxing timelapse video of a golf course being built shows.
Do you miss The Settlers? Northgard looks to be scratching a very similar itch. It’s coming to PC later this year
Got a sweet Overwatch strat for you today: never cheat. In this video posted by KiD x, a top-200 ranked Korean Overwatch player streams with an aimbot, a type of hack that essentially aims for you. It does not end well. They don’t even try to hide their bot’s lifeless mechanical maneuvering, and then, at…
