Kris Kuksi is an American artist who is famous for his signature sculptures, which he modestly labels as being comprised of “mixed media assemblage”. What he actually means is “made out of the pieces of seemingly unrelated model kits”. Go on, take a closer look. While from a distance the pieces appear to be a…
When Megan was short on time for her costume for Otakon 2012, this is what she came up with. Hipster Chell. So good. The glasses and beanie may be what first draw the eye, but the kicker is the can of PBR that’s powering the portal gun. Hipster Chell Cosplay- 01 [DeviantArt, via Super Punch]
Minecraft has its charms, but let’s face it, it’s one ugly video game. There are tweaks you can use to improve things a little, but nothing like this mod that improves things a lot This video is from Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders, a mod that adds effects (not just improved textures) to the game like…
So, you’re by now familiar with the insanely-detailed action figures Hot Toys have brought out for Dark Knight Rises. There’s Batman, Jim Gordon, Bane and an upcoming Catwoman piece. Some of those newer pieces, along with this revamped Joker figure, are the stars of this animated trailer for Batman: Dark Knightfall, which thanks to the…
Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion, by Witching Hour Studios, is what happens when a small team sets out to bring the experience of, say, Fire Emblem to a platform that will never, ever get an actual Fire Emblem game. The result is surprisingly positive: the art is lovely, the strategy surprisingly deep and well-rounded (it’s built…
Later this week, Grand Theft Auto III is being released on the PlayStation Network. It’s going to be hard to get very excited about it when you look how well this little project is coming along. GTA III Rage is an attempt to recreate Grand Theft Auto III using Grand Theft Auto IV’s newer, fancier…
No, you haven’t woken from a coma to find yourself in the year 2013. It’s only been nine months since the first Orcs Must Die was released, and yet here we are, talking about Orcs Must Die 2. That means we’re dealing with one of two things: a horribly rushed game, or something that’s a…
Lance Myers has been working in the games industry for well over a decade now, mostly in the field of animation. While he’s currently at Spacetime helping on the upcoming Arcane Legends, his last role was at BioWare, where he worked as a storyboard artist for Old Republic’s cinematic sequences.

Sorry guys! Brian’s out today, so there’ll be no Kotaku East. It’ll be back same time tomorrow though!
The future is now. Or at least, it’s soon, and over $1 million dollars away for those interested, as Japanese company Suidobashi has announced plans to build custom, actual, operational mechs. Named the “KURATAS”, the vehicles will come at a standard price of USD$1.3 million, with additional accessories like shields and weapons available for around…
In April, we showed you a game called Vektropolis, which caught my eye because it looked a lot like those awesome “future graphics” sequences from flicks like Running Man and Escape From New York It looked great, but then, there wasn’t much to it, either. So it’s lovely to hear the game has a release…
A few years back, when EA bought Criterion, the developers of Burnout, people got worried. Worried that the team would be wasted churning out Need for Speed games. What a stupid worry that turns out to have been. Criterion’s first Need for Speed game, Hot Pursuit, was brilliant, and their second – the upcoming Most…

By the time you read this, it’s likely Monday morning, and you’re about to get started on a week of work/school. You’ll be a little down. If that’s you, here. Two cats dressed as Batman and Superman. [via Fashionably Geek]
Reader Tyrannicon sent us this video he made, which is a shot-by-shot recreation of the iconic final battle of the film 300, made using nothing but some console commands and Skyrim’s Creation Kit.
This is one of the best cosplay gallery’s we’ve started the week with in a long time. I mean, we have someone cosplaying as The Witcher 2’s Triss. There’s someone doing an awfully good interpretation of Fujimoto, the slightly creepy underwater dad from Ponyo. There is also someone dressed up not only as Crisis Core’s…
When we first saw it in January, indie game Castle Story looked like a game to keep an eye on. A few months later, and one proper trailer later, and little has changed. Its promised blend of building and strategy looks great, the kind of thing to rekindle the very fondest of childhood memories that…
For those who aren’t familiar with it, classic Japanese mech franchise Gundam has a series called Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. Sounds great, but the problem is, there aren’t actually any unicorns in it. Fixed. Japanese hobbyist crossneko has built himself a Gundam unicorn. Shame he couldn’t find a space rainbow to go with it, but…
While it won’t look as good as it could, which is a bit of a shame, Capcom’s upcoming HD re-release of Okami still looks great. Especially when you watch this new trailer in 1080p, and remember just how satisfying it was to unleash that STORM OF FLOWERS.
Call them snooty if you must, but I think Edge magazine has consistently been the most mature, well-written and well-respected video game magazine on the planet for nearly twenty years. While competitors have come and gone either pandering to the lowest common denominator or selling their pages as glorified advertising space, Edge has always been…
