Luke Plunkett Genius Watch

"Whether you think the new Avatar marketplace on the 360 is a great way to customise your online persona or a stupid waste of everyone's time and money, you'll probably want to take a look at the wardrobe options." Another day, another thirty nebulously-written press releases from our special bus friends at ...

Stephen Totilo tosses PSP Go, salad

A few weeks ago I made a point of addressing Kotaku's transparent shilling for Project Natal.  At the epicenter of that heroic grab for the 2009 Keighley Prize for Self-serving Douchebaggery was one Stephen Totilo. His latest attempt to curry corporate favor is, if nothing else, surprising, as Sony rarely fills ...

Would you like some gargle with that blowjob?

It seems that any danger Kotaku was in of appearing as a credible, unbiased source of gaming news has been thrown right out the window. This just days after attempted-comedian Jimmy Fallon devoted NBC airtime to shilling for Microsoft's Project Natal and Xbox 360.  Kotaku was sure to cover that too...four ...

Halo Wars to gamers: Hello? Are you there?

Halo Wars: So epic that they had to reannounce the release date! Or maybe they're realizing that an RTS caters to Halo fans about as well as free soda appeals to a busload of diabetic Mormons. Halo Wars' anticipated sales of four entire units consist of two confused Halo fans ...

Molyneux to hype games; Year of the Sequel is upon us.

X-Play will be airing some strange combination of interview and press release with the industry's pre-eminent hype machine, Peter Molyneux. Apparently Crazy Uncle Pete will be unveiling exclusive details on two new games he's "working" on, which means at least one probably exists solely in the realm of his largely ...

I didn’t want to have to do this…

Okay, I'm pissed at Steam. You should be too. Remember when Gabe Newell was promising that this would lower to cost of games to the user? Well, aside from sales, I just see Valve pocketing the difference and ordering a few dozen more turkeys to be delivered to Newell's door. As ...

Somebody seriously wrote this

"With Risen, Piranha Bytes introduces a fresh, new setting. The game’s protagonist is shipwrecked after a storm and finds himself on a mysterious island. An active volcano dominates the scene. Ancient temple ruins have recently risen from the ground, and bizarre creatures infest the island." So it's either Crysis or Serious ...

Buck up, Sony/Free Command & Conquer games

If any of you happens to be a suicide counselor, we need you to go over to Mike's apartment. His PS3 has broken down and he's sequestered himself to his room, playing Shenmue in some kind of self-flaggelating apology to himself. We're pretty Sony-oriented over this way, but we're not ...

BLOOD BOWL, A MANLY GAME FOR MEN WHO ARE MANLY, AND MEN

I fell in love with this game in the middle of the tutorial. A little text box instructed me to tell one of my line backers to commit a foul. A right click brought a human player football player to run up to an unconscious rat man and kick him ...
