Metal Gear Survive doesn't have a lot of charm, but it's still a fun time if you're playing with friends. Staff Writer Heather Alexandra and Video Producer Paul Tamayo geared up to build bases and stab nano-zombies in this absurd and perplexing Metal Gear spin-off.

Never Stop Sneakin', the new game from the creator of Dust: An Elysian Tail, opens with a time-travelling madman kidnapping every president of the United States throughout history. It's ridiculous. It's also an excellent little top-down stealth game, and I don't even like stealth games.

A couple of weeks back I wrote about Lineage 2: Revolution, a mobile MMORPG that can be played mostly on autopilot. Two weeks later, I'm still playing. After a decade and a half of playing highly involved PC MMOs, it's nice to have a game I only need to play an hour a day.

Just in time for the spooky season, Lego Worlds released its new Monster DLC pack, featuring the creepiest people, places and things made from colourful plastic brick. Let's take a spin around Monster World.

While the plastic-looking 3D characters can never replace the charming big-headed sprites of the original, Capcom's new free-to-play mobile Puzzle Fighter gets the puzzle fighting bit done well enough.

Ubisoft Reflections, the studio behind Grow Home and Grow Up, continues its growth spurt with the release of Atomega on Steam. It's a blocky competitive first-person shooter in which players battle over mass, attempting to out-grow and overpower the competition. It's a cool little game that could use some serious expansion.

Traditional golf video games rush players from hole to hole, giving them little time to take in the scenery. With free-roaming online courses packed with places to run, drive carts, swim and fish, PS4 exclusive Everybody's Golf is definitely not a traditional golf game.

Music mashup creators work long and hard stripping down popular songs into their component elements and then weaving them together into compelling new tracks. Dropmix, the new mobile-connect game from Hasbro and Harmonix, makes this as easy as shuffling cards.

The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor is what happens when a dance party breaks out in the middle of a turn-based role-playing game.

Released last week on iOS and Android, Battlejack is a mobile collectable character RPG that uses traditional card game Blackjack to resolve its battles. It's a very cool combo.

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.

Sandbox building adventure Lego Worlds gets its first expansion today, taking players into the classic Space setting, where millions of Lego fans have gone before. It's all good futuristic fun, even the moon spiders.

If the operating system on the PC I used in the '90s was anything like the one in Andrew Morrish's OS/RPG Kingsway, I would have gotten a lot more "work" done back then.

While it's sporting fancy new voxel graphics, the heart of Lode Runner Legacy is the same satisfying gameplay that made creator Douglas E. Smith's prototypical puzzle platformer one of the greatest games of the '80s. Lode Runner's still got it.

Angry Birds Evolution, released last week on iOS and Android, is a flick-and-spin style mobile game in which players collect and evolve characters such as Dolores, the avian doctor with a penchant for vicious rectal exams.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was one of the strangest announcements at E3 this year, and fearless Kotaku editor-in-chief Stephen Totilo got a chance to play it for about 15 minutes. Based on what we've seen so far, this mash-up works surprisingly well!

Originally released in 2015 for the PlayStation Vita, Superbeat: Xonic is a hardcore rhythm game that's only real failing was being released during one of the Vita's rocky patches (that is, post launch). Now it's out on Xbox One, ready to show a much bigger audience around some great music.

Ustwo's perception puzzle adventure Monument Valley is one of my favourite mobile games. The sequel popped up earlier this week as a surprise announcement during Apple's WWDC keynote, and it's every bit as beautiful, relaxing and enjoyable as the first.

The Wipeout Omega Collection launches on PlayStation 4 today, combining all the content from Wipeout HD, Wipeout HD Fury and Wipeout 2048 into one gorgeously remastered package. It's a ridiculous amount of futuristic hover racing for $47.95. Let's hit some walls at incredibly high speeds!
