Kotaku - No Land Beyond's bad rap with Destiny players seems to be motivating some people to prove everyone wrong about the gun. First, we had the person who soloed the latest raid with the gun. And now we have a montage of someone straight up owning other players in the Crucible with the alleged worst gun in the game. Maybe the gun isn't as bad as people think it is?

Kotaku - Thanks to something called "Wonder Trade," Pokémon players regularly put monsters up for trade blindly, without knowing what they'll get in return. Maybe it'll be a garbage Pokémon, or maybe it'll be a legendary. Not knowing what you'll get in exchange for your Pokémon is part of the funbut even so, hardcore players are compiling data on what people are actually trading through the feature. What they're finding is fascinating. Wonder Trade Analytics is a website created by Tyler Stark, a front-end engineer that works at PayPal. Using Wonder Trade Analytics, players can submit information about what they're receiving in Wonder Trade. So far the website has amassed nearly 60,000 records of individual trades by players all over the world.

2014 has not been the best year for women within the gaming industry, perhaps a year that the women in question would like to forget? The whole #GamerGate fiasco started with an indie game developer named Zoe Quinn. The alleged allegations suggested Zoe Quinn was using sex to gain extra media coverage for her game Depression Quest. Originally the allegations were made after her relationship with Nathan Grayson, a journalist for the video game news site Kotaku came to an end, and posted screenshots of her infidelities. The fiasco continued after feminist journalist, Anita Sarkeesian made a series of Youtube videos depicting the female role within video games. #GamerGate followers suggest #GamerGate is a movement about journalistic integrity, and the movement wants to bring these stories to the forefront of the media.

Simon O'Neill of VGamerz discusses the notion that games have too much 'content' and not enough 'fun' that Kotaku community writer Lannick LeJacq introduced by applying his favourite example to the mix: Catherine. It is a shining example of why less is more, and one of the best recent examples of a game that prides itself on its ability to tell a story, not how many meaningless side quests you can take part in.
