Now there's video. The special "Kotaku Cut" of Kyle and Ashley's day at the...

The last and first day of the year for me has always meant spending way too much time in front of the TV. Be it playing video games until I pass out or watching televised marathons, I consider it a guilt-free over-indulgence. This year will be no different. I've got a sizable backlog of games to play...

After nearly a year and half of being Kotaku's San Francisco Correspondent and default token girl*, it's time for me to say goodbye. GamePro is whisking me away to that fabled land of print journalism I've heard so much about. I can easily say that my time here has been well spent. Kotaku taught me more...

Crossing one more game off the Things To Be Moe-fied list is this doujin tribute to Team ICO's PlayStation 2 classic Shadow of the Colossus, a sixteen strong collection of less furry, far cuter colossi that's borderline maximum risky. That's Valus the Minotaur and Dirge the Sandworm, just with a lot...

British hostage Peter Moore will soon be returning to the UK from Iraq, after spending the last six months of his two-and-a-half year period of captivity with only satellite television, a laptop, and a PlayStation to keep him occupied.

Having picked up a pair of copies of PlatinumGames and Sega's Bayonetta last night, you can probably guess what I'll be doing with my extended holiday weekend. As of last night, I'm only about 90 minutes into the game, which has been a familiar first 90 minutes. Much of what I've seen in demos, in screenshots...

Hori's Play Stand + Stylus is a well-built stand for your DSi, I'm just not sure what the point is. The stand holds your DSi horizontally or vertically and can be adjusted to whatever viewing angle best suits you, but besides using it with maybe the Nintendo Cooking Guide, I don't see getting a lot of...

Final Fantasy XIII's soundtrack is so epic that it warrants its own, 2-minute long Japanese trailer.
