Six years ago, former Valve and Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw posted a fictional letter on his website that sure read a lot like an outline for the never-likely-to-be-released Half-Life 2: Episode Three. Now, looking back years later, he regrets the decision, and says he was “deranged” when...

What To Expect From Valve (And Steam) In 2023

PS VR2: The Kotaku Review


VR is not the Future of Gaming™. Rather, it’s an active, thriving, wonderful part of its present with many great experiences to enjoy. PS VR2 joins in on that fun with one of the best headsets you can presently buy. But at a cost of $550 dollars for the unit and its controllers (in addition...

What You Should Know About Horizon Call of the Mountain, PS VR2's Biggest Game


A fully realized VR experience in the world of Sony’s Horizon franchise is an exciting prospect indeed, but Horizon Call of the Mountain can’t fully deliver on that promise.

The Best First-Person Shooters You Can Play In 2023


Despite having been the industry’s driving force of graphical fidelity and use of technology since the early 90s, the first-person shooter is paradoxically one of the most timeless genres. 30-year-old classics remain just as playable as the most cutting edge contemporary releases. Which is all...

Fans Discover Half-Life 2 Corpse Has Actual Dead Human’s Face


If you’ve played Half-Life 2 or Source engine mods, you’ve likely seen the in-game model “Corpse01.mdl.” The burnt corpse appears multiple times in Half-Life 2’s sewers and other parts of the game, and modders often used it in fan projects.

We’re about a week and some days away from Halloween, my fave holiday, but the spooky season is already in full swing here at Kotaku. While I’ve recently blogged about FromSoftware games—and Bloodborne’s Amygdala—giving me the creeps, I figured I’d expand the scope and round up some of the most...

PS5's New VR Tech Is Making A Great First Impression


Sony’s PSVR for PlayStation 4, the first serious VR add-on for a console, did pretty darn well for itself. It was reasonably affordable, well received by players and critics alike, and got a lot more post-launch support than many prior PlayStation hardware efforts (RIP, dear Vita). Now, various...

New Steam Shooter Is Basically Half-Life 2 And It Rules


I’ve probably written this before on this very website, but whenever someone asks me what my favorite video game is, my default answer is Half-Life 2. So any game that tries to capture Half-Life 2’s excellent mix of exploration, action, puzzle-solving, and emptiness has my attention. And if that...

So, Portal: The Companion Collection, a bundle of Valve’s 3D puzzle-platformers Portal and Portal 2, just dropped on the Nintendo Switch. But not long after its surprise release during this week’s Direct Mini Partner Showcase, a modder named OatmealDome has already figured out a way to get...

Devs Share The Wild, Secret Hacks Your Favorite Games Rely On


Did you know all the horses in Assassin’s Creed 1 are built using really fucked up human skeletons? Or that Titan Quest used invisible squirrels as in-game timers?
