Old Fashioned Pecan Roll: The Snacktaku Review
You might not remember the fifth time you had a Hershey’s Kiss or the eighth time you bit into a Twinkie, but there’s a 50 percent chance you remember every Old Fashioned Pecan Log you’ve ever eaten. That’s because there are only two spots in the entire space-time continuum where one purchases and consumes a…

Pringles Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon Sugar and White Chocolate Peppermint: The Snacktaku Review

Mass Effect 3: Omega: The Kotaku Review
There was something missing, in Mass Effect 3. The game was filled with a hundred tiny details that paid homage to all the choices and deliberations I’d made in two previous games, and yet one thing sat unfinished. Aria T’Loak sat on the Citadel for all of Shepard’s last crusade, riding out the end of…

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Number One: The Kotaku Comic Book Review
The first issue of a comic book based on an animated series is not normally cause for excitement.

ReviewsSonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed: The Kotaku Review
In a year in which I reviewed demanding motorsports simulations like F1 2012, and NASCAR The Game: Inside Line, with Forza Horizon thrown in for good measure, I can guarantee the toughest racing game I’ll play is Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed That is no joke.

Steelseries Free Mobile Controller: The Kotaku Review
Nothing this small should work as well as the SteelSeries Free Mobile Controller does. Years of development have resulted in a tiny, pocket-sized controller that had me overlooking its small stature the moment I started playing a compatible game. Finding a compatible game? Not nearly as enjoyable. My experience with the SteelSeries Free controller at…

Halo 4‘s Multiplayer Is At Its Best When Players Break the Rules
Now that Halo 4 has been out in the wild for over a week, it’s proper timing to accurately assess its multiplayer prowess. I had a lot of fun messing around with the various modes during my review event, but how does being in a room full of gamers compare to lounging on my bed…
