Kotaku - Theres nothing I like better in a fighting game than a large amount of unlockable goodies, and theres no better way to distribute new fatalities, costumes and concept art like Mortal Kombat Xs Krypt.

Kotaku - This past weekend, I decided to play some Assassins Creed IV on PC. I dont know why, I just did. Whatever. Thats not the point of this story. I played the game on PS3 back when I reviewed it, then played more on PS4 to appreciate how much better it looked on better hardware. But I had never really done much with the PC version, despite liking the game. Thats mostly because for me, the PC version never ran all that well. Sometimes itd look great, hitting 60fps or close to it. But there were constant, maddening performance drops.

Kotaku - Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992) has a part where you can play the initial titles or credits sequence at the beginning of the game. I find myself wishing that way more narrative-based games would do this adorable moviesque thing.

Kotaku - Today marks the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, a smaller-sized version of the 2012 JRPG that was originally made for the Wii. The portwhich is exclusive to the New 3DSis a bit underwhelming. The interface is very clunky, and something about Xenoblades grandiose world makes it an ill fit for the 3DSs small screens. To sort through it all, I had a chat with Kotaku UKs Keza MacDonald, whos spent a whole bunch of hours with both versions of the game.

Kotaku - Games have rules. Its sort of their thing. But just because a game suggests youre supposed to play it one way doesnt mean you cant come up with some rules of your own. Whether you do it consciously or not, you probably restrict the way you play games. Maybe you force yourself to live with questionable decisions in a story-based RPG, or maybe you dont let yourself spam a first-person shooters most overpowered weapon. Maybe you raise or lower the difficulty depending on the area youre exploring.
