If you’re familiar with Luigi’s stats, you know that he can jump higher than his more famous brother. He’s taller, too.

The green-clad plumber grows to gigantic size in the…
The new game for Nintendo’s most nurturing dinosaur was available to play this week at E3 and Kotaku‘s Jason Schreier did exactly that. In the video above, you’ll see Jason try to talk and play at the same time—harder than it looks, especially in a crowded E3 Nintendo booth—while he gives you a quick glimpse…
Lots of attention—some of it creepy—has been paid to all the new characters coming to the fourth installment of Nintendo’s all-star beat-em-up. It’s great that the Animal Crossing villager, Wii Fit trainer and Mega Man are getting people excited. But there’s another reason to get hyped: this Smash will be in hi-def. That means a…
Nowadays, we’re all used to the house style of the marketing art for Rockstar Games’ blockbuster open-world games: paneled mosaics with character likenesses and heavy black orders, with the game series’ name spelled out in the Price Is Right font. But GTA promo images didn’t always look like that. They used to be a lot…
Look, no one’s actually expecting that more characters and critters died in this week’s Nintendo Direct broadcast than in Sony or Microsoft’ E3 presentations.

About seven minutes of Watch Dogs gets shown at this PlayStation-hosted preview of Ubisoft’s upcoming hacker stealth game. Driving, combat and security subversion are all on display here, alone with a quick look at how mobile app will connect to the console version of the game. Makes sense, no?

Apogee Software/3D Realms—the studio that spent more than a decade working on Duke Nukem Forever—is suing Gearbox Software, the company that bought that game’s rights and released the long-brewing sequel in 2011. Apogee/3D Realms alleges that Gearbox has refused to pay more than $2 million owed to 3D Realms from royalties and advances Gearbox received…
Last night’s edition of Comedy Central’s fake news program had cranky commentator Lewis Black ranting about new and upcoming technology. Along with Google Glass, Black takes aim at the Xbox One and its always-watching/listening Kinect camera. It’s pretty funny stuff. (Except that Black doesn’t mention that you’ll have a bit of control over what the…

This clip for the indie title from Compulsion Games doesn’t explain a lot. What it does do is give you a window into an art-deco, burlesque-happy world where you’ll be able to go from human to shadow in an instant. The aesthetics look wonderful and there’s a hint of interesting light/dark game mechanics in there,…

So far, there’ve only been the tiniest of glimpses at the multiplayer component for Ubisoft’s upcoming techno/open-world game. Sure, you can hack into other people’s games but how deep does that go?
