Let’s Remember How Amazing 2002 Was For Video Games


When people talk about the “best” year in gaming, they typically trot out the usual suspects: 2007 (Assassin’s Creed! Mass Effect! Halo 3!), 2013 (The Last of Us! GTA V!), 2017 (Horizon Zero Dawn! That other open-world game!). Allow us to posit that one of the best years in gaming happened exactly...

The Hottest Game Of The Summer Has A Cheating Problem


It’s like clockwork: A game comes out with a robust competitive component…and is instantly inundated by players who rocket to the top via nefarious, unsanctioned means—cheaters, in other words. The latest victim is Neon White, a multi-genre speedrunning game developed by Angel Matrix and published...

Let’s Discuss The Mind-Blowing Ending To Obi-Wan


So, Obi-Wan. If nothing else, you can’t deny that it was a TV show, and that after six episodes, it has now ended its run on Disney+, at least for now. Obviously, Kotaku’s biggest Star Wars nerds—Ethan Gach, Ari Notis, and, no surprise here for longtime readers, Zack Zwiezen—had to talk about...

Let's All Exploit The Exploitative Games


There is, and should be, a huge amount of discussion and debate regarding the exploitative nature of so many practices in modern video games. From gacha and lootboxes to in-app purchases and meaningless cosmetics, right up to the recent idiocy regarding NFTs, both game players and the gaming press...

The Intellivision Amico Is In Big Trouble


The last we saw of Intellivision’s Amico console, it was trying to sell some NFTs and was being described as a “car crash” of a device. If you thought that meant things couldn’t get any worse for the beleaguered device, though, you have not been paying attention to its development.Read more

Marvel MMO Cancelled Before We Ever Got To See It


So, for a little while at least, there was a plan for Daybreak’s Dimension Ink studio (DC Universe Online) to develop an MMO based on the Marvel universe. That game, whatever it was called and however it was shaping up, has now been cancelled.Read more

Halo Infinite Update Is So Big It Requires A Table Of Contents


Halo Infinite’s second season kicked off today, ushering in a handful of new maps, modes, and cosmetics to the popular multiplayer shooter. Developer 343 Industries detailed all of the minor changes in patch notes that are so long they come with a six-chapter table of contents. They’re so long that...

Borderlands Is Having Its Biggest Year Ever


The revival of a beloved spinoff. A film adaptation (whose cast makes no sense at all). A mainline entry (that, against all odds, feels astonishingly fresh). Yes, it’s safe to say Borderlands is back, and having its biggest year in a long time.Read more

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’s 15 Most Obscure Playable Characters


The Star Wars universe is filled with a long, ever-growing list of scoundrels, droids, aliens, and other characters. Many of them have gone on to become fan favorites, famous villains, or iconic heroes. However, for every Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker or Rey, there are a dozen nobodies and obscure...

GTA V Loads Way Faster On PlayStation 5


Grand Theft Auto V is a very good video game, we’ve known this for almost a decade across more platforms than we ever should have had to know it, but one thing the game has never been able to sort out during that timeframe is its enormous loading time.Read more

Destiny 2's New Glaives Are Perfect And I Love Them


I wasn’t sold on the idea of Bungie adding glaives to Destiny 2. Something about the initial pitch seemed out of place in a game like Destiny 2. But now, after playing many, many hours of Witch Queen, I’m happy to report that past Zack was an idiot. Glaives are awesome. Read more

Actually, I Will Ride The Giant Pig In Assassin’s Creed’s New DLC


Yesterday, Ubisoft released Dawn of Ragnarok, the latest and biggest DLC expansion for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. And as has become tradition, it includes a new, unrealistic animal mount for players to ride. This time, it’s a huge armored boar. But unlike before, on this occasion I broke. I gave...

Final Fantasy Modder Gets Modesty Complaints, Makes Cloud Even Sexier


A custom Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade model of Cloud Strife wearing a leather jacket drew criticism from the users of mod repository NexusMods earlier this week due to the way it exposed the brooding protagonist’s chiseled abs with a form-fitting crop top.Read more

Halo Infinite Tips For People Who Already Know What They’re Doing


By now, Halo Infinite has been out long enough for you to get pretty good. But there comes a point in all competitive shooters—hey, no shame in this—where you hit a plateau. Your matches start playing out just as the previous 50 did. You find yourself falling back on the same tactics, to the same...

The Most Unbelievable Part Of Dying Light 2? Everyone Getting Vaccinated


Dying Light 2 is the latest big-budget open-world game blowing up on Steam and other platforms. I enjoyed it, less for its narrative and more because it features excellent parkour and fun combat. Oh, and there are zombies and other undead mutants. But that’s not the most hard-to-believe part...
