The Mona Lisa might be a masterpiece, but that hairdo is so dated! That’s perhaps why a Chinese net user decided to give Lisa del Giocondo the hair style of a Chinese college student. Online in China, commenters were impressed with the new ‘do. “Woah, she’s so beautiful!” wrote one commenter, while in neighboring Japan,…

That’s one multi-platform game, one 3DS game, two Vita games, and…
The Monster Hunter series wasn’t always the “monster” (heh heh) hit it is currently. Originally released for the PS2, the first game, Monster Hunter, and its sequel, Monster Hunter G, sold less than a million copies each. It wasn’t until the game went hand-held to the PSP with Monster Hunter Portable (Monster Hunter Freedom in…
Creepy Woody is one pervy figure. But he’s not just a giant horn dog. He’s also trolling rad toys, like the Metal Gear Rex. What a jerk! Website TheOneCam is a collection of amazing figure photos and amazing Woody photos. Previously, Kotaku featured some of the site’s more pervy Woody pics. Above, here’s a look…

Hello Kitty is more than a cartoon cat. She’s a cultural institution. No wonder, then, that the character was recently enshrined in a Shinto shrine, which is located in Kofu, Japan. Bad news, however, if you were planning on making alms in front of the enshrined Kitty-chan. The iconic cat has since been removed, only…
Oh Totoro, how I just want to pounce on your big, furry belly! The titular character from My Neighbor Totoro is one of anime’s most adorable creations. But take away the fur and the fat, and you get something quite unsettling. Via Albotas, this is the work of artist J★RYU. Check out more of his…
League of Legends is huge. Gamers love it! And when gamers love something, they love dressing up as it. Here is a look at some, but not all, of the best League of Legends cosplay the internet has to offer. These outfits and photos are wonderful—nice work all around! Have a look at the above…
The Famicom was once a magnificent beast, but its time in the sun has long gone. Unless you’re a collector, you probably don’t have much need for one. These guys didn’t. So they turned it into an RC car, which is driven by the console’s control pad. ファミコンラジコン疾走 [友樹 小堀]
Plenty of my friends have had babies, so I knew what to expect. The woman goes into labour. There is the physical pain. You rub the back and say ‘there there’. You watch the little lump of flesh flop out like a wriggling trout. You shed the tears, you kiss the baby on the forehead.…
OK, you’re going to have to bear with me on this one. This art is for a project called Solace. The work of Judson “Tettix” Cowan, it’s an album, and for each song Cowan has drawn a piece of “concept art”, or a “screenshot”, imagining the game that would be based on the music, if…
This is Lumino City. It’s the sequel to a 2012 game, Lume. It’s “hand made” in the sense that rather than being built from digital 3D assets, it was mostly filmed on a set, that was made in the real world. Even the effects are done, for the most part, for real; the windmill spinning…
Not unless you want them to actually fire back. This refreshingly honest exchange—which was still on the site at time of writing—took place overnight on Ubisoft’s Australian Facebook page. Call it unprofessional if you want, but hey, it’s nice to see someone slinging remote digital mud get a little back from a publisher for once.…
Dwarf Fortress is, even with mods helping it out, one of the ugliest video games on the planet. It’s also one of the most rewarding for those who crack its tough exterior, leading to the kind of heroic exploits and emergent gameplay most titles can only dream about. One tale in particular, though, stands out.…
Last time we checked in on Sony’s PlayStation Home service—yeah, it’s still around—we found that, over the years, it’s… changed. The people still using it, and paying money for things, have…interesting tastes. The objects, items and experiences you see below are not jokes. They’re what’s actually new for sale this month on the service, as…
In this poignant article at Gameological, one writer has his Magic collection appraised to dispiriting result.
Surgeon Simulator 2013 is, for reasons mostly comedic, the best damn game most of us have played this year It’s even better when there’s a live audience—real or otherwise—to see you fail. Or, somehow in this case, succeed Heart transplant surgery with live audience [CriticalIdiot]
You can’t ever put your complete trust in something until you’ve got your hands on it—especially when it comes to this franchise and this platform—but still. Even allowing for that, this is looking like a much better effort than other FPS games we’ve seen on the Vita thus far. We’ll have more on Killzone: Mercenary…
