A Defence Of Aquaman – From The Voice Of Aquaman

I heard from many of you after this lip-curling, anti-Atlantean tract last week, in which I explained my soft bigotry of no expectations of Aquaman. Your complaints were printed out, read and thrown into my fireplace to warm my home. Then I took a phone call. From the voice of Aquaman.


Let’s Go Apartment Hunting In Gotham City With DC Universe Online

In July I moved back to my hometown to buy a house. After nearly 20 years of renting, I was grateful to never again worry about upstairs neighbours, proximity to a laundromat, rent increases, security deposits or apartment hunting.


‘Home Turf’ For DC Universe Online Lets You Build Super Hideouts

It’s been a good long while since I last logged into DC Universe Online. I forget where I left my villain — he’s probably standing in the rafters at Club L’Excellence. Home Turf, however, a DLC expansion SOE announced yesterday with this video, might get me to return.


The Two Superhero MMOs Not Facing Imminent Death Are Doing Just Fine

There’s Nothing To Steal: Why Everyone Hates The Free-to-Play Switch

I’m not proud of it, of course, but I’ve profiled others according to skin colour. You see, glowing, primary colour skin on a character in D.C. Universe Online is a sure sign of a free-to-play player, especially if they’re low level. It indicates they really didn’t give a crap what they looked like when they rolled, they just wanted to jump in and start stuffing their piehole in the free buffet.


Rant: The Bewildering Technicolor Dreamcoat Of The Character Creation Process

See that guy up there at right? That’s “Bogeyman”, my DC Universe Online homage to the Hobgoblin as created by Roger Stern and John Romita, Sr back in 1983. I’m damn proud of him, but I can’t tell if his colours match, or can even be called “orange” and “blue”.


March 13: DC Universe Online’s Battle For Earth

Brainiac is going down, but he’s not going down without a fight. Players looking to help serve the metal menace his final comeuppance should hit up DC Universe Online on the PlayStation 3 or PC March 13, when The Battle for Earth expansion goes live.


Brainiac Falls And A Shocking New Threat Rises In DC Universe Online’s Battle For Earth

Heroes and villains alike have been dealing with the vile machinations of that vile machine Brainiac since the launch of DC Universe Online. With the game’s third major downloadable content pack his chapter finally ends and a new evil rises.


The Heroes And Villains Of DC Universe Online Are A Crafty Bunch

Look folks, just because you’ve been granted superhuman powers that allow you to go toe-to-toe with the biggest names in the DC Universe doesn’t mean you can ignore your chores. In its latest free update DC Universe Online grants players the power to craft.


Is Nothing Kotaku’s Game Of The Year?

This may sound off-key coming from the guy who nominated the 12th edition of annual sports franchise for overall GOTY last year. But I’m inclined to say “None of the above,” this year. I prefer for these honours to truly mean the game, at minimum, was the best at what it did. This year’s big games, nearly all of them sequels, seem to arrive at that point more out of incumbency and the expectation that they would be a game of the year nominee.
