Today's episode of Kotaku Splitscreen is all about high school kids and high school squids.

At the very end of August, PlayStation will be increasing the price to access their online service, PlayStation Plus.

Halo 5 will probably never be anybody's favourite Halo, but it might end up somebody's favourite Zelda, Mario Kart, or (now) Duck Hunt — because nobody ever said the world needed to make sense.

Alongside the release of Nubia, Civilization 6 has a "Summer Update" that makes a number of surprisingly major changes to the game.

The StarCraft soundtrack helps me win. And I'm not the only one who thinks so.

In 2012, Brazil's Behold Studios released Knights of Pen and Paper, a video game that captured the experience of a bunch of players sitting around a table playing a fantasy role-playing game. Galaxy of Pen and Paper, available today on PC, iOS and Android, does the same thing, only better, and in space.

There are plenty of themed Switch cases in the wild, and some of them are pretty schmick. But if you'd like something that's a little more tasteful, these might be up your alley.

Yes. I know. I know that makes no sense given that one of the most famous bad lines in all of Star Trek history is "What does God need with a starship?" I also know it makes no sense since Deep Space Nine's Sisko was the literal chosen one of the Bajoran god-equivalents. I know that and you know that. But my god, does Star Trek: Discovery not know that.

The past two weekends, at two different conventions, Marvel has screened footage from Avengers: Infinity War. And each time, the first new scene in the footage, featuring Thor, gets a shocked gasp. At San Diego Comic-Con, io9 asked the director of Thor: Ragnarok about that moment and he gave a very curious answer.

You use your phone a lot. It runs out of battery. You cry. Solve that.

There are a lot of things that keep me coming back to The Witcher 3, but few are as effective — or as quaint — as the game's wind.

If you like to capture your PC gameplay, but don't care enough to use some serious software like Xsplit or OBS, Nvidia's GeForce Experience has some pretty decent gameplay recording — with one big flaw.

If you haven't seen the Castlevania series on Netflix, but you're a fan of the games, you might like to know how it stacks up.

Dream Daddy, a popular new dating simulator in which you date hot dads, has a reputation for being a heartwarming game. But since its release, players have started wondering if there's something more sinister hiding beneath the original story, thanks to rumours of a "cult ending" that is allegedly hidden in the game's files.

If you've been throwing out punches in Arms and wished the Joycons were a little more practical, here's a set of grips that changes everything.

A whole bunch of footage has dropped online overnight from previews of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. Like the trailer yesterday, it covers the strawberry milkshake scene, but this time you get to see everything leading up to that point.

Splatoon 2 has been in Switch owners' hands for almost a full week, as squeaky-clean newcomers and grizzled ink veterans alike have been tearing through countless turf wars. While the battles rage on, we wanted to chat with some top-level players to get their assessment of the sequel: What's the best tool for inking? What's been the best improvement, and what does the game still need?

Titanfall 2 may have faded from the public consciousness since last fall, but the developers at Respawn have continued to add free stuff to their already excellent first-person shooter. The most recent addition, which landed earlier this week on PC and consoles, adds a four-player cooperative horde mode. It's a good time.

Casual Prolix was slightly off at first, but quickly rounded back to the right answer. Yesterday's game was indeed the original Metal Gear, although bookiegnu had a cracker of a guess with the FMV game, Spycraft. Top game, that. Really should replay it at some stage.

But new day, new game. Let's see how you all go.
