The long shadow of the fabled “G1” era—from its design sensibilities to its origin deep-dives—has cast a long shadow over so much of what has come since, including Netflix’s latest re-litigation...

Point/Counterpoint: Does ketchup ever belong on eggs?

6.1.2021
Ketchup on eggs can be a subject of intense debate. Is this a combination you grew up with, or is the idea completely foreign to you? Based off of casual conversation here at The Takeout, it’s clear that for every enthusiast, there’s a hater who despise the very idea of Heinz on the breakfast...

The State Of Diversity In Big Budget Video Games

5.1.2021
When I think about diversity in last year’s crop of big-budget games I can see the bright spots. Some of PlayStation’s marquee games, for example, featured some of the most diverse casts I’ve seen with men of color and queer women front and center as main characters. But there’s still work to...

How to Unionize Your Workplace

5.1.2021
Back in the 1950s, nearly a third of the American workforce belonged to a union. That number has cratered in recent decades due to a multitude of factors, but a shift in law and policy that places an increased focus on unfettered markets, as well as a raft of anti-labor laws, have been primary...

“I am wooooounded”: A jaunty stroll through the official Frasier cookbook

5.1.2021
As a low-attention-span indoor kid, I had two great loves growing up. The first was American football—the Bears specifically, even though they sucked. In fact, despite my regular-degular height and Doug-Jones-in-Hellboy physique, I figured that one day I’d become a professional football player....

Would You Put These Bizarre Funko Pops on Your Shelf?

5.1.2021
As someone who doesn’t pay any attention to Funko Pops, I’m always a little concerned by the staggering amount of products the company has.

The best comics of 2020

5.1.2021
From the shiny hardwood floor of a basketball court to the far reaches of space, this year’s best comics took readers to all sorts of distant lands. Granted, “distant” gained a new meaning when people were expected to stay in their homes as much as possible. Like the entire entertainment...

Xbox Emulation Is Coming Along Nicely

5.1.2021

Video Games Predict A Grim 2021

4.1.2021

My New Exercise Regimen Is A Plastic Taiko Drum Controller

4.1.2021
Stuck in bed most days due to an ongoing medical condition and paralyzed from the chest down, I don’t have a lot of options for cardio exercise. Hand bikes, weights, and tension bands are boring. You know what’s not boring? Beating the hell out of Hori’s drum controller for Bandai Namco’s Taiko...

Getting our hopes up: The A.V. Club’s 14 most anticipated releases of 2021

4.1.2021
After the year we’ve all had, it feels like courting disaster to pin any hopes on a wide release that wasn’t manufactured by Pfizer or Moderna. Looking back at what The A.V. Club published when we were still looking forward to 2020, we could’ve just republished some of it wholesale. But credit...

Carto’s Cozy Puzzles Are Just Tough Enough

31.12.2020
Ask people which superpower they’d want, and you’ll likely hear the same answers. Flight. Super-strength. Invisibility. You’re less likely to hear about the unusual ones—say, the ability to literally reshape the planet to fit your needs. Such an ability is the crux of Carto, a cozy adventure game...

How I Gave In To Temptation And Started Boosting In World of Warcraft Classic

31.12.2020
Months ago, I wrote an elegy for the lost traditions of World of Warcraft Classic for Kotaku. After a long hype cycle touting it as a perfect recreation of the game’s provincial culture in the mid-2000s—those halcyon days before it was thoroughly brutalized by Blizzard’s egalitarian approach...

The Best Things We Paid Real Money for in 2020

31.12.2020
For better or for worse, in many ways, 2020 was defined by capitalism, a system unprepared to provide as many hospital beds as there are sick people during a pandemic. Or PPE gear to health care workers exposed to those sick people. Or even face masks to those ordinary people just trying to shop...

With Xbox Game Pass I Am Too Powerful

30.12.2020
Through a bit of luck, I managed to acquire an Xbox Series S for the holidays.

Super Meat Boy Forever Is Not The Sequel I Was Hoping For

30.12.2020
After 10 long years Super Meat Boy is back, this time as an auto-runner in a sequel that channels much of the original except for what I loved most about it: snappy controls and tight platforming. In the year of Spelunky 2 and Hades, it’s a letdown to see Meat Boy return without the key aspects...

This Weird Driving Controller Had Force Feedback Before Steering Wheels

30.12.2020
One of the fortunate things about racing, compared to other sports, is that it’s relatively easy to simulate in a virtual setting.

29.12.2020
Every time my viking hero Eivor dies in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, she returns to life drunk. This is a known bug that the developers appear primed to patch, but in trying to just bear with it last night, I somehow made it worse. Though, in this case, “worse” also means “better.” And now...

The Year In Fighting Game Competition

28.12.2020
2020 sucked. You know it, I know it. It was amid this chaotic year that the fighting game community found itself pushed out of the arcades, hotels, and convention centers to which competitors had grown accustomed and into the unpredictable world of online play. Early on, organizers were unsure...

Wonder Woman 1984 Has One Great Thing Going for It

28.12.2020
Wonder Woman 1984 has been quite the lightning rod since its release. On the one hand, there’s the epic scope, complex romance, rousing score, and positive messages. It also has an incredible cast including Gal Gadot, Kirsten Wiig, Chris Pine, and Pedro Pascal. On the other hand, some have...

The Podcast Episodes That Sustained Us in 2020

28.12.2020
Podcasts used to define my commute. But now that I don’t have a commute anymore, I have to fit them in where I can. This means I have sadly been forced to ditch many of the shows I used to listen to regularly and focus on only the best of them—the ones I simply can’t miss.And that’s what we’re...

The PS4's Spectacular Dreams Game Is Hurting From A Lack Of Players

28.12.2020
When LittleBigPlanet creators Media Molecule launched the game-as-an-engine PlayStation 4 exclusive Dreams into early access in April 2019, I remember feeling a cautious optimism.

Lost Odyssey’s Ending Felt Like A Bittersweet Farewell To The JRPGs Of Old

27.12.2020
I wish I were immortal just so I could play all the games on my backlog. Lost Odyssey for the Xbox 360 is about immortals who’ve lived over a thousand years and they’ve experienced a lot.

How The Past Year Got Me Thinking Of Post Apocalyptic Games In A New Light

27.12.2020
Almost every day, I go for a walk with my kid. She’s just over two. There’s a strange serenity in the isolation of entire city blocks when there’s so few people out and about. In the first few months of the pandemic, it felt like we were walking through an abandoned city. I’ve lived in...

I usually only get a chance to play games after my kid falls asleep...

I Didn’t Expect To Like Deadly Premonition So Much

27.12.2020
I crashed eight times during my playthrough of Deadly Premonition on the Switch, often at critical moments. In a game with long load screens, this seemed like an unforgivable sin. “So good it’s bad,” was testing my patience, even if I knew coming in that Deadly Premonition was a flawed cult...

Phantasy Star III Is A Flawed, But Ambitious, Entry Into The Series

27.12.2020
Phantasy Star III was a game I wanted to love, especially since its predecessor was a science fiction classic and arguably one of my favorite games on the Sega Genesis.

Who’s The Strongest Video Game Character?

26.12.2020
If all the video game characters ever created got together in a big rumble, who’d come out on top? Kratos, the one who took down the gods of Olympus?

7 PS4 Horror Games That I Hope Get PS5 Sequels

26.12.2020
The PS4 had some great horror games. The best had a way of creeping into my mind subconsciously, lingering until a vulnerable moment and striking terror when I least expected. It’s interesting that with the increase in graphical power, the games that scared me most last gen weren’t necessarily...

The Video Game Music That Helped Us Through 2020

26.12.2020
2020 was tough. There were nights we wondered where and how this year would end. Just when things seemed like they couldn’t get worse, they did time and again.

The end of the world was both darker and more humorous than anyone could have imagined, and in the original Fallout, released for the PC in 1997, gamers got to experience the apocalypse firsthand.

I always approach classics with a certain sense of trepidation, especially if I’m playing them outside of their original release window. Games that might have truly been remarkable in their day and age might come across antiquated and difficult to endure in the present, especially with how much...

Ari's Top 10 Games Of 2020

25.12.2020
The past year has been one endless, pitch-black night with a single burning, incandescent star: video games. I mean, can you imagine what 2020 would’ve been like without video games? I, for one, cannot. Better yet, it’s not like the annual release calendar was a dry spell, either. From tip to tail...

The Best Games For The Xbox Series X And S

25.12.2020
A new console generation usually means a new library of games. That’s not exactly the case with Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, at least not yet. There are few true next-gen exclusives. Instead, several recent Xbox games were released in both last-gen and next-gen versions.Read more

25.12.2020
Two weeks after the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red is facing a class action lawsuit. But the filing isn’t on behalf of players who may feel burned over a pre-release cycle that hid the state of the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Rather, it’s on behalf of investors.Read more

The Biggest Video Game Disappointments Of 2020

Cyberpunk 2077: The Kotaku Review

24.12.2020
It’s been two weeks since Cyberpunk 2077 officially released. In my initial impressions, I wrote that I was ready for everyone—developer CD Projekt Red, the studio’s PR people, fans—to stop talking about the game and just let me play it. I’ve been playing steadily since before launch, but weeks...

24.12.2020
The eternally burning tire fire that is 2020 hasn’t exactly been a laugh riot. And yet, as I reflect on what have been some of the most gruelling times I can remember, it’s interesting how much video games have played a part in getting me through. As pure colorful distraction, or even daily...

The worst things on the internet in 2020

24.12.2020
Look, even without COVID, 2020 was going to be garbage.

20 Years Later I’m Still Thinking About The Bouncer

23.12.2020
Sometimes a piece of pop culture worms its way into your brain, builds a comfortable, cost-efficient home in your cerebral cortex, and lives there happily for decades on end.

23.12.2020
It was a rough year for all of us in the real world, but those fictional universes we spend so much time in didn’t get off scot-free. A lot of television shows ended their runs this year, and a lot of our favorite characters from sci-fi, fantasy, and horror took their final bows as well. Here...

The Games That Got Us Through 2020

23.12.2020

The Best Games Of 2020 That You’ve Never Heard Of

23.12.2020
There are so many games. The Nintendo Switch sees 30 releases a week. More than 50 PC games come out a day on Steam. Fifty. A day.

Hey Xbox Game Pass, Where Are All My Weird Old Platformers?

23.12.2020

You Can (Carefully) Pet The Zombie Dogs In Black Ops Cold War

22.12.2020
I love when games give me the option to pet dogs, and surprisingly, you can pet the Plaguehounds in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies mode. But unless you use a specific weapon effect, you’d never even know you had the option to pet them.Read more

A Strange Game That Lets You Create A Digital Art Gallery About Anything

20.12.2020

Ghostrunner Is Actually The Fall’s Sharpest Cyberpunk Game

19.12.2020
Ghostrunner is a lean-forward game.

What Is Even The Point Of Giving Awards To Video Games

18.12.2020
‘Tis the season to feel mildly embittered at basically all times. I speak, of course, of awards season, during which countless games take home trophies and plaques (or pictures of trophies and plaques), but not the ones you want to win. What, really, is the point, though? On this week’s episode...

Dragon Ball FighterZ Adds Super Baby 2, Whoever The Heck That Is

17.12.2020
Dragon Ball FighterZ has gone off the rails. I can understand, on some level, the thousands of Goku variations that make up its cast. I’ll even overlook the two Brolys, if only because both versions are so popular. But recent reports that the Arc System Works fighting game is getting Super Baby...

What's New on Netflix in January 2021

16.12.2020
For someone who spends a lot of time cursing nostalgia culture and lamenting the fact that the vast majority of new entertainment—from movies to Broadway musicals—seems to exist only to milk a little bit more money out of some valuable IP, I sure do love Netflix’s Cobra Kai. Based on the 1980s...

16.12.2020
A certain amount of escapism through books would have been more than understandable in 2020. (And by “a certain amount” we mean “a lot.”) You’d be forgiven for favoring the comfort food of a reread or a beach read. Or for not reading at all. Because for every person who was able to forget...
