The place where journalistic integrity goes to die. Supposedly a blog about gaming, but when you visit the front page you'll struggle to find anything relevant. You'll see random videos, cosplayer galleries, inside jokes, discussions about the editors' personal lives, and a load of other bullshit. When they do get around to posting some actual news, it's usually poached from better sites.
Worse still is the commenting system. The editors love to play favorites, and will promote sycophancy with "stars" while censoring anything remotely critical. The commenters usually have nothing but praise for the staff, which is hardly shocking when you learn that they've been handpicked from the outset, having to "audition" in order to post. You'll always see the same handful of "star" commenters making the same brainless posts. Essentially, it's one big circle jerk, and unless you're ready to kiss some ass, you're not invited.

"I got banned by those Nazis at Kotaku for pointing out what a bunch of talentless hacks the editors are."
"Kotaku can kiss my ass. Those retards wouldn't know journalism if it smacked them in the face."
Kotaku user: "Durr hurr hurr, I love reading about the editor's kids, toilet habits and food preferences because I'm a loser with no life. I have a gold star and make fifty posts a day on Kotaku but I'll still die alone, durr."
