I am living the true modern gaming experience these days when I fill the empty moments during Assassin’s Creed Odyssey load times by playing the mobile game Assassin’s Creed Rebellion on my phone. I won’t keep this up for long. Rebellion is too much of a Modern Mobile Game for my taste, but I’ve discovered I’m a…
Nintendo’s fun Labo Variety Kit, a reader-exclusive discount on Samsung’s best TV, and Kano Harry Potter Coding Kit lead off Friday’s best deals.
Hey, listen: The Deluxe edition of the Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia may be one of the coolest looking books ever made, and Amazon’s dropped the price down to $36 today, the best deal we’ve ever seen. And if you haven’t used the NOVBOOK18 code yet, you can bring that down to $31. That means you won’t have to spend as…
The characters on Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power are like an onion: They’ve got layers. The villains are sympathetic, the heroes make awful choices. And then there’s Entrapta, who might well be one of the most Chaotic Neutral characters we’ve ever seen on modern television.

Labo is Nintendo at its weird best. The cardboard Variety Kit can turn your Nintendo Switch into a fishing pole, a motorcycle, a piano, and more fun toys. Again, this is cardboard!
Nanoblocks are small building bricks, with the smallest clocking in at 4mm × 4mm × 5mm. These blocks are small, hence the nano name. Here are the winners of the 2018 Nanoblock Awards.
Students at the Aichi Institute of Technology in Japan have built a miniature robot version of the Metal Gear Solid 4 Ray mecha. And yes, it moves.
Ice Poseidon. Sweet_Anita. Trainwreckstv. “Twitch thots.” “Boobie streamers.” If any of these names and phrases ring a bell, you may, have a subreddit called Livestreamfail to thank—even if you’ve never heard of it.

Picking out big, pricey gifts is easy. Finding inexpensive, smaller stuff for stockings, office gift exchanges, and third cousins twice removed is where gift-buying season gets tricky. That’s why we compiled this list of 150 Inventory-recommended (and actually useful) stocking stuffer ideas, all for $20 or less.*
This is Simmiland, a low-fi God sim (with a big card game element) that’s out on Steam tomorrow.
Here’s a thing I’ve noticed while watching other people play Red Dead Redemption 2: there’s an Arthur Morgan on the screen, who looks like Arthur Morgan and sounds like Arthur Morgan, but isn’t my Arthur Morgan.
Today Highlight Reel we have the first clips from the Red Dead Online Beta, fantastic aces, cool Battlefield V moments, and much more!
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
EVE Online has been running for over 15 years, but it’s never too late to join in on the fun. You can jump right into things from your very first day, whether you want to be a peaceful space explorer, a loyal soldier, or just a straight-up scammer.

Old Faithful. That’s what I call my Vita, or at least that’s what I would call it if I was the type of person who had nicknames for their video game consoles and, for whatever odd reason, felt compelled to utter them out loud. I’d call it that because no matter how long I go without playing it, the damn thing always…
Red Dead Online’s beta launched this week, and fans have finally been able to play Rockstar’s next big online game after the mega-successful GTA Online. The initial impressions have been mostly positive, but one aspect of the game that is under a lot of scrutiny is the in-game economy. Are prices too high? Is it too…
On this week’s Kotaku Splitscreen, we implore you to not miss Return of the Obra Dinn, a phenomenal game and contender for 2018's greatest.

Without the internet instantly dispersing images to millions of people, it was probably a lot easier to keep video game prototypes under wraps in the ‘80s. Just a handful of photos backed up rumors about the possible existence of a miniature version of the ill-fated Vectrex console, but it’s a rumor no more now that…
One of the great online gaming paradoxes is the group-finder, a feature intended to bring people together that often does the opposite. It’s a mainstay in online games, a one-size-fits-all solution to the ever-present social gaming problem of “How do I meet people and progress?” Functional, accessible and a little…
If there’s anything I learned studying Classics at university, it’s that our respected ancient ancestors were total horndogs. That’s why I’m so happy Assassin’s Creed Odyssey embraces historical bonkery to the extent that it does.
Sony’s PlayStation Classic will be released on December 3rd. You’ve likely seen the lead marketing image—a miniature version of the original console photographed in the wrinkle-less hand of a player perhaps too young to remember the PlayStation’s original release in 1995. They’re holding the 2018 edition, finished…

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is now over a year old, and a load of changes haven’t transformed it from being the opposite of what I want from an Animal Crossing game.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is finally backwards compatible on Xbox One. The program has been steadily growing every month, but this 2012 fantasy RPG is a particularly nice addition, especially since a remaster doesn’t seem to be in the cards at this point. A little generic perhaps, but charming and fun nonetheless.
Red Dead Online’s beta launched this week, and it’s a looser, sillier experience than the main game. But a beta mean glitches, and there’s been nothing stranger than the cavalcade of burnt-out boats mysteriously plaguing the city of Saint Denis.
Even if you get the flu shot, a cold winter spent hiding indoors with the means at some point you’re going to get sick. But just how sick are you? For just $20, iHealth’s new no-touch digital thermometer can help you figure that out, without requiring you to probe anywhere unpleasant.
“I’m the farmer. I work in the fields all day.” The chorus from Barenaked Ladies’ “Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank” plays on repeat in my head as I sit in front of my computer tending virtual crops in Farming Simulator 19. That’s as close to hard outdoor work as I like to get.

With Smash Bros. Ultimate right on the horizon, I am experiencing my usual case of wondering if it’s way too late for me to get on that ship. I sat down with Kotaku’s Maddy Myers to figure out if now is the time for me to start playing Smash or if I should just be ok with being the little sibling who gets an unplugged…
I’ll just say this upfront: This is a 75" TV that costs $3,500. We post deals on affordable TVs all the time, and this definitely is not one of them. And yet, it’s an amazing deal if you’ve got the money to burn.

The comically large map of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which players can spend well over 100 hours exploring without doing all of its quests and clearing all of its caves and forts, won’t expand outward with the game’s first expansion. That’s a change from how the series has handled downloadable add-ons in in the past.
Quiet as a Stone is a contemplative game about finding secrets on floating islands and creating your own perfect little spaces. Each island has resources to collect, natural formations to find, and blank spaces to plant trees or arrange rocks. It’s a quiet and relaxing escape from whatever battlefield or wild open…

The $200 Power Armor edition of Fallout 76 promised fans a load of stuff, including what looked like a very nice canvas bag. Which they didn’t end up getting, because between announcing the bundle and shipping it Bethesda pulled a lil’ switcheroo.
After months of competition, the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour is nearing its January conclusion.
