Goodness, I know I've tried. Since Monster Hunter exploded on the PSP, I've always felt that this was a series I should be into. Like, it was a requirement for me as a resident of Japan. Yet I could never quite get into Monster Hunter.

Destiny 2, a video game in which players travel through space trying not to get their raids ruined by glitches, is full of fun Easter eggs. Here's one of them.

One of the biggest selling points of the first Ni No Kuni was the involvement of Studio Ghibli. For the sequel, however, the famed anime studio's name is nowhere to be found.

Trailers for video games are a weird beast, as misleading as they can be esoteric. Free from the burden of trying to directly sell you a piece of art, commercials for video game hardware are often a lot more fun.

The real joy of the Dishonored games isn't in sneaking around. It's in messing with the game's systems to do dumb shit like spending four hours lining up every body you could find in a level just...because you can.

The newest Danganronpa is full of pop culture references, including quite a few that may surprise you. My favourite so far is this inventory item. Screw you, squids.

There are a bunch of interesting weapons in Destiny 2. Auto rifles, rocket launchers, swords and weirdo reverse-tractor beams. But which guns are best? Here's our list of the top five.

Weird fact: There was a PlayStation 2 version of the original Half-Life. Weirder fact: It contained a filing cabinet that would move to face you if you approached it.

The story side of Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite stumbles in trying to achieve a semblance of order amidst the clashing of discordant fictional worlds, but the multiplayer action is just as intense and chaotic as it's ever been, with spectacular battles that are enjoyable no matter which side comes out on top.

I've been playing Final Fantasy 7 in Japanese and English at the same time, and I'm noticing a trillion tiny differences. This is part four of my video series comparing the two versions of the game.

Typically, when Sony releases themed game hardware, the consoles come out the same day that the games do. That's not the case for this Monster Hunter World PlayStation 4.

Hideo Kojima's classic game Zone of The Enders is getting a remake on a PlayStation 4 with enhanced graphics, 4K support, new sound design and, of course, VR support.

I've been playing through L.A. Noire for the last month and a half on Kotaku's Twitch channel. This weekend we finished the game. The conclusion is bittersweet but there was no other way for a tale of crime and corruption to end. Controversial in its day, L.A Noire's ending is perfect when viewed in retrospect.

As I struggle to fall asleep after a night of Destiny 2, the game keeps running through my mind. It's like getting a song stuck in my head: I see the flash of combat and feel the rumbling controller in my hand. But I rarely hear the sounds of battle. Instead, I hear voices.

Given that remasters are part and parcel of the gaming calendar these days, it's worth asking: what's the best one so far?

Yesterday at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference, Square Enix revealed a brand new game titled Left Alive.

The Silent Hill series has some gnarly monsters, from demonic dogs to the iconic Pyramid Head. A modder looking at the original game's code has uncovered some lost creatures and brought them back to life in all their horrific glory.

The latest Final Fantasy heading to the PlayStation 4 is fan favourite Final Fantasy 9. It's out now, and mildly enhanced.

Good morning. Excited for more Monster Hunter World? Then here's a few minutes ahead of this year's Tokyo Games Show.
