13.6.2022
“These aren’t just backdrops,” Bethesda’s Todd Howard told game journalists while pointing to a mountain range off in the distance during an E3 2011 demo for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. “You can go up to the top of that mountain.” That line and the promise behind it is infamous now, memed throughout...
The Best Sex Games On Steam, According To OnlyFans Creators
8.6.2022
If Steam’s huge list of sex games is a gated, glistening community pool, I am the discarded, embarrassing flamingo float, doomed to skim the surface for all eternity. I make attempts to dive in—I look at each 2D succubus thumbnail carefully and determine whether or not demon porn is against my core...
Elden Ring Players Keep Owning Each Other About Being 'Maidenless'
28.2.2022
Picture this: you’ve just crawled out of the Elden Ring tutorial area. You’ve just taken down the first miniboss with your hide barely intact. Then out of absolutely nowhere, a stranger makes fun of you for not having a girlfriend. Or at least, that’s how many players have chosen to interpret...

John Walker's Top 10 Games Of 2021
22.12.2021
The good news about 2021 is the world’s governments have all agreed that it’s been so bad it doesn’t count, and no one has to add the past year to their age. Sucks for American 20-year-olds, for sure, but it’s a small price to pay. The other good news is that, despite a weird-ass year for gaming...
Help Me, I Can't Stop Playing Cookie Clicker
4.10.2021
It was September, 2021 when it started. Kotaku editor-in-chief Patricia Hernandez asked me to handle a post, a story about a clicker game on Steam getting patched to allow cheating. What a fun, novel notion, certainly worthy of a story. No problems there. That was how my problems with Cookie...

Viral Steam Game Patched To Aid Cheating
9.9.2021
I’m still playing Cookie Clicker instead of writing about Cookie Clicker because I need a good screenshot. That’s what I’m telling myself. It’s a convincing argument—I’m going to use it if Patricia starts asking where this post is. What would really help would be some sort of auto-clicker cheat...
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...

Pokemon Unite's Pay-To-Win Is A Drag, Even If It'll Even Out Later
30.7.2021
I’ve had a surprising amount of fun with the Nintendo Switch’s latest Pokémon spin-off, the free-to-play arena fighter Pokémon Unite. Coming from the dense and inconsolable world of Valve’s Dota 2, there’s plenty I could nitpick about Pokémon Unite’s controls, interface, and balance, but man if...
RIP To Me, The Person Writing This, A Real One
23.7.2021
Are you allowed to call yourself a real one? No, I would argue, you are not. That pretty much immediately disqualifies you from being a real one, so I’m already off to a rough start here. But today’s my last day at Kotaku, so I consider it my solemn duty to close out my award-wanting “RIP To A Real...
