The proposed LA Game Space has hit its funding goal. Congrats!
Earlier this year, I killed some time with Tiny Barbarian, an adorable little platformer made by indie dev Michael Stearns. Good news for me, and hopefully Michael too: evolving from its “download for free” roots, it’s being turned into a bigger thing With a new engine, more features and just promising to be an all-around…
You play both Dead Space games at a time when the world has already gone to shit. Just about everyone’s dead, and the place is a mess. But in designing the world of Dead Space, it was handy to see what things were like before the bad stuff went down, when people were breathing and…
Free Radical co-founder Steve Ellis raised some eyebrows last week when he said that the mythical Star Wars: Battlefront III, the dead game that just will not die, was “99% done” at his studio when publishers pulled the plug. It was a weird thing to say, since surely things like quality assurance and other testing…
Kotaku reader Geo “Tyrannicon” Paradissis is back with another of his “Great Battles of Skyrim” series of machinima videos, this time transforming the nordic fantasy landscape into… a giant samurai showdown. With dragons. Of course. Skyrim: Battle of the Samurai (Machinima Interactive Film Festival) [YouTube]
When Reddit user 80sArcade found his old Game Boy the other day, it had a Game Boy Camera still attached. Within, 14 photos from 1998. You don’t often get that kind of gaming time capsule from so long ago, mostly because the Game Boy was about the only system outside the PC to have a…
Nobody tells me anything any more. Seems back in March a Company of Heroes movie was quietly announced by Sony. That movie, a direct-to-DVD thing that is actually tied to the famous PC strategy title (somehow), will be out on March 19. It’s got Tom Sizemore in it. And Neal “I was in Band of…
We did it with Halo, so let’s do it with another of the world’s biggest game series, Grand Theft Auto. And by “it”, I mean rank the games from “best” to “bottom of the list”. Why? You might be new to the series. Or diving back into it. These games take a long time to…
1069 people are playing multiplayer, with 98 people playing Zombies mode on the Wii U version of Black Ops II. More than last week Like we’ve said, comparing the number of people playing the game on a brand new console to those playing on the veteran machines from Microsoft and Sony is unfair. Not to…
That’s for a single brick, mind you. Not a set. Just a single 4×2 brick. That brick is made from 14-carat gold, though, and between 1979-81 was given out to employees who had worked at the LEGO company for 25 years. So it’s not only made out of gold, it’s incredibly rare too, and is…
The Wii U’s Pro Controller already does a great 360 pad impersonation, but just in case you wanted/needed it to be more like Microsoft’s input device, here’s a mod that shows you how to drop a pair of Xbox 360 thumbsticks inside the casing of a Wii U Pro Controller. It’s of course not going…
The supremely-talented Dave Rapoza has an original comic coming out called Skull and Shark. To advertise it, he’s whipped up a trailer (featuring the music of Lazerhawk) that turns the comic into an old-school beat-em-up. Seeing it presented like that, it would totally work as an old-school beat-em-up. Fingers crossed something like that, you know,…
Continuing on from a list they put together in October, Spin magazine has built a video showing you a whole bunch of video game samples used in hip-hop tracks. It runs in gaming’s chronological order, so while the music may be all over the place, the games at least will be in order. In case…
Turns out we weren’t the only ones impressed by the “lifelike” imitation Russian cosplayer Anna Moleva could do of BioShock Infinite’s Elizabeth. The game’s creators, Irrational, were too. So impressed, in fact, they offered her a job, which means she’ll be appearing on stuff like BioShock Infinite’s marketing art, TV ads (so there’s a live-action…
I wake up on Monday morning, I check my email and Twitter, and I see some normally-calm friends freaking out over this clip for a game called STEALER, by tiny Russian indie dev Winged Doom. It’s not even a game. Well, not really. It’s just a pitch trailer, something put together for mood, to reflect…
This week’s roundup of the best in cosplay features the two images listed in that headline. Both of them as amazing as they are unlikely. But they’re far from the only standout shots. There’s some amazing Zelda cosplay that looks like it was actually shot in a dungeon. A Warhammer 40K couple. Even some Fate/Extra!…
You probably don’t even need to read comics to know that, even to this day, many big-label artists and series still put their female characters in physically impossible poses, all in the name of making them look sexy. In an attempt to fix this, artists worldwide are teaming up for a top-secret initiative. And by…
In 1999, Buzzfeed’s Josh Fjelstad really, really wanted an N64. And hey, it was 1999, so did a lot of kids. But what Josh did to actually get one was… different. Instead of just asking, or sulking, or whatever else kids do to try and get their way, Josh sat down and wrote a letter.…
Guillermo Del Toro had been helping out on a video game with THQ before, well, THQ basically ran out of money. But that doesn’t mean the game is dead. Movie site Bloody Disgusting is reporting that the game idea, which is actually planned to be a trilogy, was shipped around to other studios and… picked…
Long Ouyang is a concept artist who works at WETA, they of The Hobbit, District 9 and Lord of the Rings fame. He’s previously done some game work, including iOS titles. Anyway, today is a good day to show off his stuff, because chances are you saw some of it earlier this week. Where? In…
