Here’s a nice little peek behind the curtain, inspired by Lifehacker. These are the 15 most popular stories on Kotaku Australia last year.
Not the best, or the most interesting — the most popular, defined by the amount of page views they got over the year.

Aaaaand that’s our top 15 stories for the year. Pretty weird list when you look at it. We’ve written better stories, we’ve written worse stories. Those are the ones, however, people were most interested in reading.
