  • Japanese Exclusive Sega Mega Drive Adventure ‘Dahna: Megami Tanjou’ Fan Translated Into English

    Japanese Exclusive Sega Mega Drive Adventure ‘Dahna: Megami Tanjou’ Fan Translated Into English

    Dahna-Mega-Drive-English-TranslationIn 1991 the oddly named developer Information Global Service released an all new action-platformer for the Sega Mega Drive known as Dahna: Megami Tanjou. This hybrid mix between the likes of Castlevania, Rastan, and Golden Axe not only featured some impressive spritework for its time, but also a healthy helping of gore-filled action too. Presumably left as a Japanese exclusive due to its now laughable level of blood and slightly controversial themes, the game has finally hit western shores through a fan translation patch.

  • ReCore: The Kotaku Review

    ReCore: The Kotaku Review

    Irredeemably bad video games are a simple, tidy affair. Their badness is straightforward. The game stinks. It was a waste of time to play. Probably shouldn’t have even finished it. It is different and perhaps more frustrating to play a promising game that starts well, carries many great ideas and then stumbles. The new Xbox One and PC action-adventure ReCore is one of those second types.

    Someone Put Harambe In Street Fighter, Because Why Not

    Harambe vs Capcom is a real video game that you can play. Not only does HvC bizarrely place everyone’s favorite gorilla (RIP) in a fighting game, it also gives the crossover a story to go along with it.

    TIFF 2016: 'Catfight' – The Gloves Come Off in No Holds Barred Satire

    Catfight Review

    It has often been said, “With friends like these, who needs enemies?” It is true that our friends can be are harshest critics; and sometimes you have to wonder why they were your friends in the first place. Catfight is what would happen if you confronted that friend and decided to smack them like a WWE Diva instead of talking it out like grown adults. Catfight, starring Anne Heche and Sandra Oh, written and directed by Onur Tukel – which just premiered at the Toronto Film Festival – is a strange story about a karmic cycle that not only escalates to violent physical altercations, but shows the repercussions of the aftermath. ›››
