Screenshot: BioWare Mass Effect 2. It’s widely regarded as one of the best games of all time, a sweeping space opera that set the standard for modern role-playing games. One of us (Ari Notis) is just now playing it for the first time, ahead of next year’s remastered trilogy. The other (Ash Parrish) basically has a PhD in all things Mass Effect. Naturally, we had a lot to discuss… Ash Parrish: Ari, I am really excited to talk to you about Mass Effect 2, which is one of my favourite games that I forget is one of my favourite games, and then get excited about all over again when I rememb...

The Matrix Online Died 12 Years Ago, But Fans Are Still Keeping It Alive Image: Warner Bros / Kotaku Nothing lasts forever. Neither you nor I, and especially not video games. Despite the promise of digital immortality, recent games have suffered the slings and arrows of content being retired, servers getting sunsetted, and entire storefronts falling away into the sea. Oh, and who could forget the tragic death of Mario, who this year’s Oscar ceremony pointedly chose not to honor. On this week’s Splitscreen, we explore the ephemerality of games and talk to one of the few keeping a long-dea...

Sometimes You Just Have To Let Backlog Games Go Image: Square Enix / Kotaku Most of us will probably never play every game we own right now, let alone all the others we’ll buy or download in the future. In that sense, backlogs are like the universe: infinitely expanding and confounding to physicists. Sometimes you just have to make peace—or force yourself to make peace—with the fact that certain games will never leave the old pile of shame.
