About damn time. After five years of sighing and shaking my head at the Hero Factory line that replaced it, LEGO's Bionicle line of "Constraction" constructable action figures returns on January 1, with a new story and new cast of colorfully masked heroes.

Killing Sims isn't as simple as walking up to some zombie and shooting it in the face, though, which is where the challenge comes in. There must be a specific cause of death for a Sim to croak, and "being shot in the face" isn't one of them. Since EA removed swimming pools in The Sims 4, the fan-favorite practice of…

So in other words: We have an evil organization ruling the world, partnering with their former enemy terrorist group, trying to sell us a failed experiment that will betray us in the most crucial moment... It's actually fitting, for the most part.

Dito. Seriously, why would anyone eat burgers?

Don't feed the trolls. They are just ignoring all your points anyway, so why bother?

Because they always copy the header image from one of the linked articles? In this case, it's from "Why Region Restrictions Nearly Ruined My Life (For A Day)", which is about region locking for MGS4 save games.

Totally agree with you on the repetitive music. Actually, P4G is my favorite game on the Vita, and I do love the music of the game, all of it. But I hated how the game keeps switching between only 3-4 different songs for hours, before finally moving on to the next 3-4 different songs. It was really annoying.

What does "2x less" even mean?

He does not have an "official" name. He had to be named by the player in the original game, and any medium based on P3 that needs to give him a name, gives him a different one (or doesn't call him by his name at all).

Just reading the word "perma-death" was an instant turn-off for me as well, so thanks for clearing that up! Just wondering, you said that the game is balanced around building new/stronger Collectems with the genes of your perma-dead Collectems - does this mean that the game will actually be more difficult if you do…

Heh. I disliked both Monster Hunter and Soul Sacrifice, but I loved Toukiden. :-) I might try Ragnarok Odyssey some day - I decided not to buy it, after someone told me that I probably would not like it if I didn't like Monster Hunter. But since I like Toukiden so much, I might give it another chance. Also, looking…

No, TAS usually skip most glitches because there's another glitch that allows them to skip that whole section. :P

At first glance, that looked like a nail or something driven into the Vita screen. O.O

Yep, that's most likely a plugin issue. I had the same problem with Ghostery. NoScript will probably cause this, too. (AdBlock should be fine, though.) Just check any plugins you have installed that can block contents, and whitelist Kotaku and/or Twitter.

I didn't even get it after reading your comment. Took me another minute. :P

"I see it as simply being Turtle Rock supporting an organization's right to fire people who prevent them from making more money." - Uh, no, that's what they did, but it's not what they said. (Which is what the comment you were replying to referred to.) What they actually said is that they strongly disagree with Olin's…

Aaactually... The law doesn't see anything as art. The law doesn't define what's considered as art. That's left open for interpretation by the courts. In the 90s, Wolfenstein 3D was reviewed by the Local Court of Munich (I think) and it was decided that this is not art, and so it's not allowed to include any swastikas…

China Daily reports that this was used for a film shoot. Visitors can even go inside and take a tour.

Nice! Just what I've been waiting for! :-)

And next up: Remakes of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen!
