The Kendrick/Drake Beef Is Made For The Internet

6.5.2024
Late Sunday evening, I logged onto Fortnite to enjoy all the newly added Star Wars content, solo-queuing up for a No Build quads match right away. As I waited for the battle bus to pick me up, I could hear one of my teammates loudly playing Canadian actor-turned-rapper Aubrey “Drake” Graham’s song...

Hades II Is Addressing The First Game’s Lack Of Body Diversity

18.4.2024
Hades is famously known for its tight action gameplay, unmatched ability to weave narrative into a run-based roguelike, and for Supergiant Games making the pantheon of Greek gods fine as hell. The team said that beauty was a virtue in its character design, but the fact that the original game lacked...

The Overwatch League Grand Finals Were Both Beautiful And Depressing

2.10.2023
On Sunday, October 1, the Florida Mayhem defeated the Houston Outlaws in the 2023 Overwatch League Grand Finals in Toronto, Canada. It was the team’s very first championship, and it could very well be their last—as well as the last championship awarded in the once massively popular esports league...

Geoff Keighley Is Still Trying To Figure Out The Whole 'Women' Thing

22.8.2023
Gamescom Opening Night Live has come and gone, and though there were a lot more women on Geoff Keighley’s shiny stage than during Summer Game Fest (which had zero), it certainly didn’t feel all that natural, did it? It felt, instead, that Keighley’s response to criticism about the lack of women...

Gaming’s Best Character Creators, From Demon’s Souls To Final Fantasy

19.5.2022
Sometimes I think I like sliding into a character creator sandbox more than the game it’s attached to. Character creators let me play a benevolent god that only creates hot people—like Abercrombie in the 2010s, except I’m a socialist. I feel powerful and clever until I run smack into a wall:...

Jumpstart AAPI Month With Thai Survival Horror And Five More Hidden Gems

6.5.2022
I answer the questions dutifully—“Where are your parents from?” “My dad is from Bangladesh, my mom is from Bulgaria”—but growing up in predominantly white Long Island made me embarrassed that anyone ever had to ask. I’m pale. My hair is thin and bleached blonde, and I could never grow it out to...

Halo Infinite’s Craig, Once A Laughingstock, Now Looks Better Than Ever

25.10.2021
If any single character is a visual shorthand for Halo Infinite—more than Master Chief, more than Cortana, more than...that other AI—it’s Craig the Brute. A screenshot of his character model served as evidence for the game’s supposed graphical shortcomings last year. He showed up again during this...

Wow, Gamers Really Want This Xbox Mini Fridge

19.10.2021
Maybe it’s because I primarily play console games on PlayStation. Maybe it’s because I can’t fit anything into my New York shoebox apartment. Maybe it’s because I’m cynical about marketing that centers around the gamer identity. But wow. I was not expecting folks to be so hyped about the Xbox...

Isaiah Colbert To Kotaku Confirmed!

8.9.2021
It feels like yesterday. I was in a Columbia College Chicago classroom during the “before times” of Covid-19 showing off my now-boss Patricia Hernandez’s Life Is Strange 2 article to a room full of journalism students who no doubt will be future legacy media reporters. I chose that article because...

Destiny 2 Latest Game To Boldly Announce Gargantuan Gal

24.8.2021
Today, Bungie proudly joins the ranks of Capcom, FromSoftware, and other lovers of big ladies everywhere. The upcoming Destiny 2 expansion stars the Hive Witch Savathun, a long-teased major villain from the part of the lore I actually know about (ask me anything about sword logic), and Bungie...

Video Games Are Part Of Climate Change, Too

9.7.2021
It’s hot! I don’t just mean in the sense that I am sweating while my window AC unit does its best to gasp cool air into my apartment; I mean that it’s historically hot. Last month was the warmest June ever in North America. In honor of the increasingly agonizing heat death of the planet, this...

PSA: Sonic Mania Is Free Right Now

24.6.2021
In case the kick-ass concert didn’t make it clear, it’s Sonic the Hedgehog’s 30th birthday, and how better to celebrate than with a copy of the game that Kotaku ranked the second-best Sonic game of all time? The Epic Games Store is giving away copies of Sonic Mania for free but you gotta...

All-Digital E3 Was A Mess

18.6.2021
Another E3 has come and gone. This year’s multi-day commercial for upcoming video games sure...happened. Was it terribly exciting? No, not that we were expecting it to be. Was it downright terrible? Also no. But in failing to find its footing on an all-digital stage, E3 2021 ended up being...
