Football: The Kotaku Review
If Football — that is, the American National Football League football — used the same naming scheme as “Dungeons & Dragons”, we’d call it “Beer Commercials & Cheerleaders”. Like dungeons and dragons, beer commercials and cheerleaders are two things that not everyone likes. They are also, however, not The Point of their respective games: they are simply nouns which evoke an atmosphere. You either buy into that atmosphere body and soul — or you don’t.
The Hierarchy Of Video Game Haters: Where Do You Fit In?
I’ve been writing for Kotaku, off and on, since 2007. I’ve been reading it longer than that. One of the accounts I follow on Twitter (follow me!) begs me to not read the comments on blogs. Of course, I don’t listen, and that is why my head is crammed with weird shards of anecdotal evidence that are as bring-uppable at board meetings as they are at dinner tables. “More people I know of walked out of ‘Django Unchained’ during the ‘dogs’ scene than the ‘hammer’ scene, I reckon”; etc. The “people I know of” part means “internet commenters”.

Project managers and producers are the miracle workers of triple-A game development.
TNNS Is An Amazing Game, Right Down To Its iTunes Description
Over the past couple of days I’ve been playing the balls off of TNNS, Action Button Entertainment’s new paddle-ball game for iOS devices. It’s colourful, challenging and infinitely entertaining, and that has nothing to do with the involvement of frequent Kotaku contributor Tim Rogers.
Allow Me To Apologise For E3 2012
Allow me to apologise, on the behalf of all game developers, for the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo. I don’t have time to read every piece of periodical published on the subject. The few articles I have scanned, however, point to a general consensus that this year’s E3 was a sort of bloodbath Roman Carnival of depraved screaming, screeching and shrieking.
Why The Apple Trackpad Might Be The Best Video Game Controller Ever Made
I was designing a user interface for someone else’s social game the other day, and I was completely oblivious that I’d just recommended a feature that Just Would Not Do.
