#battlefield
Sure, Battlefield 3 remains a big deal and Battlefield 4 is on its way, but fans who want to go back to where it all began will need to hop into Battlefield 1942. More »

Seeing as my anime preferences fall within the boundaries of "giant metal death machines", and not "girls with enormous cute faces", I haven't enjoyed much Japanese animation in the last decade or so. More »
#megaman
The Rockman/Mega Man franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary in December, and I can't imagine a cheerful observance is coming for the hardcore fans of one of video gaming's cornerstone franchises. They've been upset ever since last year's heavy-handed cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3 for the 3DS, a game which had asked for community input through the release of a prototype version. More »
so this is what Mega Man has become. damn you Apple and your casuals
#residentevil
A group of art students at the Nanjing University of the Arts thought it was a good idea to create a Resident Evil fan film for a student get together. They proceeded to recreate scenes straight out of video games after hours on school property, bringing in dummy body parts, fake blood and weapons. They pretty much remembered everything necessary for creating a fan film, except warning the night shift security guard that they would be filming. More »
#wiiu
Let's say you really, really want a Wii U for Christmas. Problem is, it's pretty tough getting hold of a pre-order, because most places are sold out. What options are you left with? More »
This shit's like 07 christmas, no one ever got a wii until next year.
#ohgodno
Being in a very pony receptive mood this morning, PlayPink.com's email about a new game called My Dear Pony was not nearly as ignored as it should have been. More »
#worldofwarcraft
From the sound of it, this level 1 character is one of a few hackers who discovered a bug or an exploit that allowed them to fly about World of Warcraft, insta-killing everyone. The plague broke out this weekend on multiple servers, and was seen in Stormwind, the Alliance capitol. More »
#angrybirds
Teased on Friday, we knew that some kind of a crossover between Rovio's Angry Birds franchise and Star Wars was coming. It's a natural pairing, given the enormous mainstream reach of those names and their owners' willingness to license it in the toy space. More »
#minecraft
Well, maybe you will. Mojang, the folks behind Minecraft, is a success story. Great news for them! That not only means Mojang honcho Notch (aka Markus Persson) can afford nicer hats, it also means the studio can afford nicer digs. And boy, look a these digs. More »
#watchthis
Channeling Mel Gibson's Braveheart in this new video, Francis gets totally psyched for the next World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria. Totally. Psyched. More »
#art
This summer, talented internet person Ninjazzy made the original 151 Pokémon in clay. That's impressive! It's even more impressive after you realize Ninjazzy not only did that, but made them small enough to stand on a penny. No wonder these are called Pénnymon. More »
#bayonetta Nintendo just revealed that Bayonetta 2 is coming to Wii U. Platinum Games, who developed the first Bayonetta, is once again bringing the character to life. More »
#wiiu
A live demo of the newest Call of Duty game showed off how Black Ops II's splitscreen multiplayer will work on the Wii U. Two players can go head-to-head with one playing using the GamePad's screen and controls and another using the controller to particpate on a big-screen TV. We'll have more on the Wi U version of Black Ops II soon. More »
#valve
While most people think fondly of Valve - at least, as fondly as one can think of a business out to take your money - there are some corners of the internet which can sometimes take things a little too far. More »
#finalfantasy
Gamer Jamie Colliver poured six months of his life into recreating classic role-playing game Final Fantasy VII in LittleBigPlanet 2—including all the conversations, characters, enemies, bosses, and music. More »
#playstationallstarsbattleroyale
Oh my beloved Nariko, I shall not let any of those unworthy ruffians touch an oddly-rendered hair on your beauteous head when you make your grande return in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. More »
Does Kotaku seriously not know who Sir Dan Fortesque is? *crag* them and their shitty journalism.
#portal
Even for a game known for some really bent comic themes and recurring gags, this concept is way the hell out there, but Portal 2 was originally going to see Chell, the protagonist, get married to a turret. More »
>Erik Wolpaw says Portal has a song during the credits because God Hand, one of his all-time favorite games, did the same thing.
suddenly the first Portal is better
#halflife
Infamous Half-Life remake Black Mesa will be playable and ready for public download for the first time on September 14, a note on the projects forums states. More »
#portal
Off-Kilter's Unlikely Crossover Fan Fiction Battles feature has traditionally involved written fan fiction, but today we have something completely different, and slightly wonderful. It's episodes one and two of My Little Portal, where friendship is science. More »
#review Hostess has the name. Tastykake has the heritage. Those two giants in the snack cake game have dominated the hearts and mouths of preservative-infused baked goods since the invention of "creme". But, as the dead Jedi says, there is another. More »
#zelda If you've got the capability right now, whether on GameCube, Wii or even PC, go put Wind Waker on. And just look at it. Soak up how a video game released almost a decade ago still looks like it could have come out yesterday. More »
#starwars
Yeah, the first Star Wars was released in 1977, but for most, the franchise is a staple of the decade that came after. Something artist Denis Medri plays on with these awesome images, reimagining the heroes and villains of George Lucas' universe as the cast of a 1980s teen movie. More »
*crag*ing disgusting why are you such shit kotaku, it's enough having lucas shit on starwars we don't need shitty deviant art drawings too
#snacktaku
There was a time that I'd spend at least a third of each week driving from grocery store to grocery store, hunting for the star of the next Snacktaku review. I'd walk the aisles for hours, making note of which items shoppers were putting in their carts. I'd measure stock density hour-by-hour. Sometimes I'd just lieon the floor, close my eyes and ride the waves of consumer resonance to their ultimate destination. More »
#lawsuits
This little exchange yesterday on Twitter says a lot about why Electronic Arts is suing the Facebook gaming giant Zynga, and how the publishing giant really sees itself in doing so. More »
