Is Hunk the Third Protagonist of Resident Evil 6? [Resident Evil]Since last night's trailer debut for the newly-announced Resident Evil 6, fans have been trying to figure out the identity of the third protagonist joining stars Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield in the ambitious sequel. Could it be Resident Evil's most mysterious character? The Hunk theory makes more sense than several of the others making the internet rounds right now. Some say the character is Steve Burnside, but then Burnside was never a...

Capcom Bar Serves Resident Evil "Brains". You Can Eat Them. [Capcom]On Jan. 25, Capcom, the gaming experience company behind Resident Evil and Street Fighter, will open...a bar. It's called Capcom Bar. Clever. As previously posted, the bar will have booze and food, and it will play host to Capcom promotional events. Wonder what to expect? Monster Hunter meat (fitting), Ace Attorney seafood pasta (oh), and Resident Evil brains (awesome). It's not real brains. Just cake shaped like brains. Have a look at the other...

The Queens of Cosplay from the King of Fighters, Final Fantasy and More [Fancy Pants]You know, it's tough work settling on which cosplay images from the past week I'm actually going to feature in this main, first picture. Especially when there's almost a dozen that easily deserve the spotlight. I mean, aside from those three, we've got some old-school Resident Evil cosplay. With rocket launchers. Catherine cosplay. With hair horns. An Obi-Wan Kenobi that you'd swear really was Ewan McGregor. Oh, and some Left 4 Dead 2...

So, Who’s the New Guy? [Personal]Well met, Kotaku readers. You've probably seen my name popping up on the site this week and might be wondering who the hell I am, where I came from and why I'm here. I've been writing about video gaming experiences for about 10 years, getting my start at the late, lamented Teen People magazine. (Oh, sure, snicker away. But, when I interviewed Warren Spector last year, he remembered that Deus Ex was in Teen People. So, that's something.) Since...

Next Week on Breaking Bad: Blow Versus Zombies [Video]In next week's episode of the AMC hit Breaking Bad, Jesse convinces two of his pals to dip into a little cocaine, spawning an insightful conversation about Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil 4, and Call of Duty: World at War. They're not just zombies, they're Nazi zombies! Seriously, if this is the sort of conversation you get into when you use cocaine, I never have to use cocaine. This is pretty much me whenever I visit a video gaming experience store,...

It Seems Japan May Not Like Its Yakuza Games with Zombies After All (But It Still Likes Yakuza Games) [Bestsellers]Last week, the latest entry in Sega's popular Yakuza series hit Japan after suffering a brief delay. It was the country's bestselling gaming experience by a huge margin, killing the other new zombie-filled gaming experience on the market. But there was some not so good news for Sega's newest gangster gaming experience. Yakuza: Of the End crushed the competition, selling nearly 300,000 copies in its first week on the market in Japan. Damn good,...
