Pretty slick vid from the Power Rangers Northwest team.

I don’t think we’re ever going to get as close to seeing a “real” Triss from The Witcher as we are with these shots. Cosplay by Jessica Dru (who we’ve featured herebefore). Costume by Manzi DeYoung (who, hey, we’ve also featuredbefore). Photos by Greg De Stefano Note that this outfit was so good it was…
Artoo In Love is a sweet little short film about the galaxy’s favourite astromech droid, and his search for female companionship. With a mailbox. Before you ask, no, it’s not that kind of movie. The movie itself is OK, I guess, but those droids! R2-D2 was built and operated by Grant McKinney, and while he’s…
Of all the big PC games people are playing at the moment, the one that needs a mod like this the least is probably Cities: Skylines. But then, that’s also why it needs it the most. Normally, Skylines is a game where you hover above the world like Civicus, the God Of Urban Planning. Fr0sZ’s…
That’s Jina D doing an excellent Navi, if not in scale then at least in spirit. Link is her fiancée Devon, who should really be cosplaying as Jaime Lannister. I had to crop the image to fit it on the front page of the site, so here’s the full shot: This pic was taken at…
PlayStation Home, one of the most ambitious (and weirdest) things Sony has ever done with video games, closes down today. It will not be missed, but it should at least be remembered. The service…platform…game…thing was first announced at GDC 2007 (well, technically it was first announced here), and seemed as ambitious as hell! Designed to…

To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save them as wallpaper), click on the “expand” button in the top-left corner.…
It’s one thing to see a hand-picked comparison video, it’s another to sit down with the real thing ourselves, so I thought I’d fire up the fan-made (but Valve-endorsed) Half-Life 2: Update and see just how improved Valve’s classic shooter really is. If you’re looking at character models and faces for big changes, you’re looking…
It’s easy to forget now, but Team Fortress 2 was once as big a punchline among Valve fans as Half-Life 3 is today. The game was announced in 1998, and wasn’t released until 2007. That was a long time to wait for fans of the original Half-Life multiplayer mod, so to help pass the time…
I’m sure not every fatality is in here, because marketing, but this video includes most of Mortal Kombat X’s gruesome finishing moves. You should not watch these at work. Or at home, if you’re at all squeamish about faces being sliced off and brains falling out and tongues wobbling around pissing out blood. I mean,…
Space Marines might get all the video games, but in cosplay—as in life—it’s the Imperial Guard (in this case the Valhallan Ice Warriors) who get the job done. Cosplay by Natalya Blinkova, photo by Kirchos, props by LARPoratory
Serg Souleiman is a freelance concept artist who has worked on games like Wolfenstein: The New Order, Mortal Kombat X, Forza 5, The Elder Scrolls Online and the Fallout series. I like these two pics in particular; they’re personal pieces, but they’re Serg’s shot at redesigning Batgirl and Nightwing to fit the art design used…
A 13-year-old kid from Camarillo, California was arrested earlier this month and has since confessed to three acts of “Swatting“. The Camarillo Acorn reportthat police were initially investigating the boy for one Swatting incident, but in the process discovered he’d been responsible for two more, all three taking place in January. The boy made two…
Shaun Himmerick, producer on Mortal Kombat X, is the latest games industry professional to step away from Twitter after receiving threats against his family. On March 26, Himmerick retweeted this message he received, after which he changed his Twitter handle to “come on people”: (WARNING: NSFW language) He then explains his decision in more detail:…
Rockstar released these Grand Theft Auto V screens over the weekend. They’re for the PC version of the game, which after delay afterdelay is finally hitting on April 14. They look pretty good! As in, they look good, duh, but if you look closely (click on the magnifying glass in the top-left corner of each…
There’s no such thing, of course, but we can dream. Marcus and Dom, side-by-side, hugging it out, cutting things up, fist-bumping over a guitar solo intro… That piece, and all the ones below, are by Drew Hill, an artist working at Epic Games. You can see more of Drew’s work at his personal siteand ArtStation…
Were Amiibos ever truly designed as gameplay additions? You have to wonder. Surely Nintendo knew what would really happen: that hordes of video game nerds in their 20s and 30s would descend upon them like a horde of cashed-up locusts, buy all the good ones them keep them locked away forever. Which explains why this…
Track: Leave Her, Johnny | Artist: La Nef, feat. Seán Dagher Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
Hey, remember Portal on the DS? Well, Portal (or at least a demo of it) is now also on the 3DS. It’s not an official Valve product, of course—as if Valve would ever make another video game!—but it still does the job. The clip you’re seeing here is from the demo for a homebrew project…
