What a week, huh? Yeah. Well, here we are, at the end of it, at the very least, and now looking toward the future. So how about some video games to take our minds off things for the weekend? This week we’ve got some fun shooters, some beat ‘em up actio...
Through its official Amazon storefront, Govee is offering its 7-pack of Glide Y RGBIC Lights for $129.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $100 off coupon. Normally going for $230, we’ve seen far less of a frequency of discounts over this year in com...
Jesse Keighin liked to stream Nintendo Switch games online before they were officially released and then gloat about it right in Nintendo’s face, according to a new lawsuit filed by the Mario maker in Colorado District Court earlier this week. “[I] ca...
To some, 2023 was one of the best years for video games in a long time. It didn’t quite land that way for me, but that’s okay. Even if I don’t rank the likes of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Baldur’s Gate 3 among the year’s best, I still admire the impu...
Before there was a PlayStation 4 remake that blew the doors off its own canon, Final Fantasy VII lived on through various spinoffs that expanded the world of the classic RPG. One of those was Advent Children, the 2005 CG film which followed on from the...
Every new thing I hear about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth makes the wait for its February 29, 2024 release that much harder. And Square Enix just opened the floodgates on another series of new details, hints, and teases about the upcoming “open-area” RPG ...
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is setting out to be a massive game, and it will require a lot of time to see everything it has to offer. Speaking with Game Informer, Director Naoki Hamaguchi commented on the game's length, confirming that it will take around 40 hours to complete just the main storyline. Those looking to experience the game's side content, which makes up about 80 percent of the exploration-based content, will require around 100 hours to fully complete the game, making for a much bigger game than Final Fantasy VII Remake. The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director also touched […]
A slick new VR headset, a “slim” console refresh, tons of flashy new accessories, and multiple exclusives, including the fastest selling PlayStation game ever, Spider-Man 2. The PlayStation 5 made big moves in 2023. So why does it feel like the console...
Final Fantasy XVI is a wonderful game with many flaws. One of the low-key biggest is a grimy, dark pink sky that eclipses the world near the end of the game. It can make completing every side-quest and monster hunt real depressing. Fortunately, players...
Welp, that’s it. The casket’s shut, the nails hammered, the grave dug. The Entertainment Electronic Expo (E3) is dead, and the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is issuing a do-not-resuscitate order for its once-annual convention. Since E3 is do...
Epic Games sued Google over anti-competitive practices and won. A jury in the in the Epic v. Google case delivered a swift verdict, concluding that the giant tech firm was operating an illegal monopoly on Android devices in the form of the Google Play ...
While it initially seemed like Final Fantasy XVI wouldn’t get any DLC, this week at The Game Awards it was announced the game will be getting a pair of story expansions, with the first, entitled “Echoes of the Fallen,” being available right now! Echoes of the Fallen offers up a new dungeon to tackle, bosses to fight, and a variety of gear to collect, which begs the question – is it possible to miss any of it? The core Final Fantasy XVI did indeed have some sidequests and rewards you could miss out on, so does the same hold true with Echoes of […]

In addition to a new dungeon to explore and bosses to fight, Echoes of the Fallen includes a variety of new gear, including a series of six new “Fallen Bit” accessories. These are some of the most useful accessories in the game, and you’ll need to grab all of them to unlock the “Bit Fit” trophy. It is possible to […]
Nearly every conversation I’ve had about Baldur’s Gate 3 this year has started with a series of questions: “Can I see your character? And who are you romancing?” More often than not, I’m more interested in hearing how the characters people make and mee...
It was a big week for the scantily clad at Kotaku this week, with both GTA 6 and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth giving players plenty of skin. We’re also feeling very excited about the new Fallout show, but decidedly less enthusiastic about the minimal...
