The Most Shameless False Advertising You'll Ever See Was The Art On '90s Racing Game Boxes

14.1.2021
One of the great things about the internet, among all the horrible ones, is that the abundance of online information makes research simpler. I know this is stupidly obvious when written out, but if you were, for instance, buying a video game in the ’90s, you had to read a magazine to know what...

Nintendo Is Making Copyright Claims on Videos of Game & Watch Hacking

12.1.2021
Despite its retro charms, for $50 the Nintendo Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. handheld felt like it could benefit from a few more games: an upgrade some talented hackers made possible before the device was even released. But Nintendo doesn’t like consumers messing with its hardware, and today...

Logitech G923: The Surest Thing In Sim Racing

7.1.2021
A decade ago, if you were getting into sim racing and wanted to buy a steering wheel, there wasn’t much shopping around to do. You pretty much bought a Logitech G27 like everyone else and called it a day. Today, the offerings are far more diverse, with higher-end options from Thrustmaster...

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...

2020 was a bad year for most of us, but a surprisingly good year for video games. As we enter 2021 with the hope offered by the vaccines, and the light at the end of the tunnel just about visible, it might soon be possible to allow hope back in.

The 12 Best Video Games Of 2020

1.1.2021
2020 is over, which is great, even if it doesn’t mean everything terrible about this year is now in our collective rearview mirror. Video games played a bigger role in many of our lives than they have in years past, which made picking Kotaku’s top games pretty tricky. But, as always, here are...

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. The experience of playing NBA 2K, for example, doesn’t correspond to any of the physical skills required to actually play basketball in real life. Those of us who love...

What to Do If You've Let Your Animal Crossing Island Go to Hell

29.12.2020
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the games that saved our sanity in 2020, but not everyone plays it every day. Maybe you found something else to play on your Switch or just got tired of the daily grind—and that’s okay! But you may notice your island looks a bit different when you come...

Why Ice Levels Keep Showing Up In Video Games, Even Though Most Of Them Are Bad

25.12.2020
In games as in life, slipping and sliding on ice patches while torrents of snow transform your eyelashes into crystalline daggers can be frustrating, to say the least. And yet, ice and snow levels are a time-honored trope in video games. On this week’s episode of Kotaku’s Splitscreen podcast,...

The Games That Got Us Through 2020

23.12.2020
I had high hopes for 2020, if for nothing else than the coolness of how the year sounded on paper: twenty-twenty. But as we all know, this year was a complete dumpster fire across any number of individual categories: politics, treating others as equals, accepting inconvenience to prevent others...

The Worst Video Games Names Of 2020

20.12.2020
What’s in a name? When it comes to games... not much. Games can be great and have terrible, awful, dumb names. In fact, many games on this list are good games that are just unfortunately saddled with an awful title.Read more

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...

The Best Snowy Video Games And Levels

12.12.2020

Cyberpunk 2077 Has Some Really Fantastic Car Designs

8.12.2020
While my newest video game system is from the early 16-bit era, I’m still reasonably aware that the industry is still moving ahead, cranking out new, exciting titles that are, somehow, even more immersive and deep than Krull on the Atari 2600. One of these is Cyberpunk 2077, a new game that’s...
