Capcom's Latest Collection Of Arcade Classics Gives The Punisher Its Due
9.9.2024

Street Fighter 6’s Version Of Terry Looks And Feels Tremendous In Action
27.8.2024
Admittedly, I’m not the fighting game savant at this site, or even in my own circle of friends. Crucially, I think everyone plays more of this genre than myself, though I was a bit of a fighting game fiend growing up. That lack of experience didn’t impede me when it came to last year’s Street...

9.8.2024
I keep a list of indie games that I will advocate for to my friends, coworkers, and random passersby on the street. Slay the Princess, Black Tabby Games’ time loop horror game, is pretty high on that list. It was one of my favorite games of 2023, and while it didn’t edge out Baldur’s Gate 3...
Capcom Made A Game That Doesn't Belong In 2024 And It's Fantastic
26.7.2024
The world of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is meant to feel fantastical and from another time, but the game itself also feels like an anachronism. Something that shouldn’t exist in 2024. It’s not a sequel in a hit franchise. It’s not working in a popular genre. And it’s not pandering to...

14.5.2024
Street Fighter 6 was one of my favorite games of last year, and I’m so convinced I’ll get back to its sublime, best-in-its-class fighting that I still haven’t uninstalled it from my PS5 despite months away. Every time I so much as see a clip of Street Fighter 6, I’m reminded that Capcom’s hallmark...
Why I Make Myself In Every Video Game Character Creator
19.4.2024
On the day I started here at Kotaku back in 2022, the very first post I wrote had an image of a character who looked like me right at the top. It was my custom V from Cyberpunk 2077, and he’s appeared more than a few times on this site as I’ve covered the game and its Phantom Liberty expansion....
