I suggestThe Long Price Quartetby Daniel Abraham. Fantasy with an original take on magic and a very subtle and clever plot. It's in 4 volumes too, so it's not like a gigantic commitment. I also must recommend a short read (both in size and because it's impossible to drop the book once you...

The Deadwood first episode must not be that great because it did not make me watch the show past that. I am not saying the show is bad or anything like that, but the subject matter did not do it for me (not much into western) and the fact it was a muddy sausage fest did not help either (watched...

@Abefroman: Isn't he saying the opposite of what you were saying he was saying... or am I confused by this whole topic? Anyway, as mentioned earlier, every single media outlet in the known universe relaying the fact they sold more than a million units in 24 hours in north america should take...

Especially in a context where the XB1 has supposedly problems to manufacture consoles in big quantities. Sony will try to get as many sells as possible on the back of an XB1 shortage.

In what way?

In the translators' defense, subtitles are sometimes done without seeing the movie (which is retarded, but that's not the translator's fault!). In your Star Wars example though, it could have been fixed at some point! For the LOTR movie, the translator has another problem: the books have been...

On the flip side, they have been trying to do voice command for 5 years and it's still like using a remote controller with croaking batteries.

There are sound issues. Some surround formats are not supported and reduced to stereo when they go through the XB1. An automatic no-no for people with home cinemas. Might be patched sometime in the future though...

People were not too happy the other day when the south americans in Homeland talked in spanish without subtitles (found it great personally, especially in the context of the episode). That being said... didn't we have some chinese people speaking in mandarin a few episodes back in Agents of...

I enjoyed the episode. The light tie-in with Thor was ok (a cameo was probably too much to ask), we got some Ward background and the twist managed to surprise me. I agree that the antagonist did just about jack and shit, but they are not the subject of the show: the team is. I found Chloe Bennet...

This is fake btw. The Kotaku verdict is "Not Yet" because of the number of features that are not yet or poorly implemented. Note that the Kotaku verdict for the PS4 was also "Not Yet", but because of the launch line-up.

Comedy gold right here.

I just noticed Proteus, the minimalist musical exploration game by Ed Key and David Kanaga, is now available on PS3 (at least on the European store). Maybe a little too expensive for what amounts to a pretty short (though highly repayable) experience, but challenging what we expect a video...

There is a thread on NeoGaf about it:DS4 thumb sticks might have a problem? - NeoGAF It's about the rubber that peels off the analog sticks. The starting point (a picture found of reddit) looks fake as hell, but then several forum users there noticed they have similar (though less extreme)...

The technique is more than a new way to do something we were already doing (modifications through selection and hybridization), it allows to do things that were impossible previously (pretty tough to force a fly to have sex with a potato) and as such opens the door on an almost limitless...

That is the business model for the lone blogger, but certainly not the one for most reviewers. The freelancer will sell his pieces to different publications, the stringer will usually work with a single publication but be paid on a per character basis. I suspect the guys at The Escapist, Kotaku...

The genius is in the writing and in an extremely clever game design that insidiously turns you into a dehumanizing monster and/or make you face dilemmas that make a mockery of Molyneux-style morality systems. The choice is not between good and evil, the choice is between refusing entry to a...

I find it amusing that 3 of the 4 titles in the Best PC Game category are indies. As much as The Stanley Parable is an amusing little thing and Kentucky Road Zero is a fever dream packed with brilliance, I hope the absolute genius on display inPapers, Pleasewill be rewarded.

The relationship between reviewers and the companies that have products that get reviewed is always a bit complicated, no matter the industry. The companies job is to court the reviewers and try to steer what they talk about and how they talk about it. The courting can go overboard and make the...

I just noticed in the credits that they brought James Yoshimura on the producing/writing team for this 3rd season. He was one of the driving force behind Homicide's quality and also worked a bit on Treme. I suspect he is no stranger to the bullshit-o-meter being set firmly lower than in the...

I hear Twitch this, Twitch that, but wasn't there supposed to be a deal with Ustream or something?

I would like to hear some Flower feedback from those who never played it before. Soygen?

Kotaku has a follow up article on the system failures: When you turn the console on, it should pulse blue then turn white. People that had problems after the light turned to white can have a broad range of issues (HDMI connector/cable being one) and some can be fixed by cable change, system...

Magic Sword!

As a standalone episode, the first episode of The Shield is jaw dropping amazing. In the context of the whole serie though I always found it to be a bit odd, because there is a lack of repercussion from what happened (both in investigation and in psychology), and when you learn to know Mackey it...

When all is said and done and we look back at this generation of consoles I suspect we'll say that Snowden killed the Xbox One.

I wish it were Might & Magic but sadly at the moment it's Total Eclipse! I blame Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest.

Slime World or more precisely, Todd's Adventures in Slime World. Never got a Lynx back then (too expensive, too big, too few games and 8764854 batteries for 4 seconds of play). Still don't have one (or a Lynx 2 for that matter), but my handheld collection is anemic. Got a 3DO and Neo Geo...

Have you checked with another HDMI cable? Have you checked if the HDMI connector is not damaged?

Once you get past the fact he claims to be a ninja, you will find Sterling to be pleasantly sarcastic.

What times would that be? The times of making great claims without anything to back them up?

Credentials please.

In the youTube frame freeze that guy looks like the surviving Boston bomber.

I vote 'sleep first' to avoid kotaku'ing the HDMI connector with your shaky hands, tired eyes and sleep deprivation induced short temper.

I see my Cannes post and now I have seen some of the films that were in the competition, so I can vouch forLe Pass?andBlue is the Warmest Color. I saw another film that was in the competition and oddly did not win anything:Michael Kohlhaaswhere Mads 'Valhalla Rising' Mikkelsen plays a 16th...

I read the Kotaku review and he complained about the lack of diversity, but he also mentions an online feature that allows you to trade collectibles that are used to craft abilities (and as a result add diversity) that he could not benefit from, because of the lack of people playing when he was...

He is browsing rerolled with his PS4 and typing his answer with the DS4, so give it a couple of hours. /nod

Common sense also tells you that the guys at the review sites would be a bit disappointed to get a console that has already been unpacked once. Do you want to take your chance with the failure rate or with the disappointed reviewer? If anything, the fact that Sony did not test the consoles...
