    DS Girly

    If you ve always thought your Nintendo DS was far too manly then you may be interested in the bulky handheld s new look. The Pokemon obsessed company is coming out with a new DS in mew pink. Not pink, because even pink would be far too testeronic for Nintendo apparently. No, they had to come out with a whole new girlier shade of pink and figure out a way to connect it to a vomit-cute cartoon character. More »

    Just three days after a tipster told me that Electronic Arts was gearing up for their full-out attack on Ubisoft s stock, the BBC runs a story on Ubi s defense strategy. My source told me that Ubi was looking for a white knight to either buy them outright or with which to join forces. More »

    World Cyber Games: Home to Kotaku News

    The World Cyber Games is now officially spewing out Kotaku-flavored news. The people behind the world's largest gaming competion in the world, contacted us a month or so back and asked if they could use our news. Unfortunately, I had to send them through the Gawker paddle machine, but a month and some nasty bruises later their site now posts my ramblings. More »

    Grand Theft Auto 3 Banned in Parts of Japan

    A state in Japan is banning the sale or rental of Grand Theft Auto III to minors, saying that the open-ended shooter is harmful and capable of inciting violence. The ban comes 350,000 copies into the game's release which makes it sort of useless. Because of the decision the game will be slapped with a "harmful" label, which should do a good job of boosting flagging sales of the game. It will also have to be displayed in a separate area, with all of the school girl porn and futanari. More »

    Freaky Q&A with Zelda's Aonuma

    So on the first day of my first E3 I got a chance to sit down with Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the upcoming Zelda game. Instead of turning the thing into a so-so little feature story, I decided to post the rather lengthy, sorta surreal translated interview up as a Q&A. More »

    Best Swag of E3


    Plenty sites have down little photo posts of their E3 swag haul, but I think Netjak is the first to actually rate swag. While the Best Swag of E3 2005 includes some very sweet finds, like the City of Villains Cape and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Coffee, they totally forget to include the Bulletproof Bling. G-Unit's gonna gitchya. More »

    OK UK Resistance you've redeemed yourself for that New Journalism piece on New Games Journalism you did awhile back. Best Review Ever! (I'd add my two cents, but then my wife would kick my ass, so I'll just sit in front of my monitor and chuckle quietly to myself instead.) More »

    PSP Libery City Screens Shows Multiplayer?

    Here's what are likely some faked pictures of the not-ready-for-prime-time GTA Liberty City for the Playstation Portable. The images show some game play, but more importantly they also show a multiplayer online screen with the game searching for other players. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Rockstar decided to premiere GTA multiplayer on a portable device? Classic. More »
