Trademarks May Offer Hints About Kojima's New Horror Game
13.12.2023
Despite taking nearly 10 minutes on stage to promote his upcoming game at this year’s Game Awards, we don’t actually know a whole lot about Hideo Kojima’s OD, aside from the fact that it’s a horror game, has some famous actors, and makes use of Xbox’s cloud infrastructure in some way.

Alan Wake 2: The Kotaku Review
6.11.2023
I put off writing this Alan Wake 2 review because I was scared. Scared that I’d look into myself and find I wasn’t up to the task, that I lacked the right words, with nothing to offer but emptiness and failure. It’s not at all uncommon, though, for writers to be wracked with doubt. Many years...
Silent Hill Game Disables Chat After Too Many Posts About Ejaculation
2.11.2023
Silent Hill: Ascension carried the weight of the entire Silent Hill franchise, of which there hasn’t been an official installment in about a decade, and immediately fumbled it during a disastrous October 31 premiere.

5 Disappointing Things About Konami’s Metal Gear Solid ‘Master Collection‘
24.10.2023
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 gathers some of the best games ever made and puts them all on modern platforms in one convenient package.

Metal Gear Solid Locked At 30FPS In Master Collection, Konami Confirms
22.9.2023
Part of the appeal of video game remasters and remakes is the prospect of playing an old game on better hardware that can, ostensibly, run it better than your old console did back in the day. That is the hope, at least. Unfortunately, not every “remaster” is an improvement over its source...
