Earlier in the week, NetherRealm Studios announced a story expansion for MK11 dubbed Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath. The DLC will introduce new story content, three extra characters–Fujin, Sheeva, and Robocop–and some new skins. Fans are still itching to see more gameplay footage, however. Thankfully, NetherRealm plans to oblige in the coming days. Sometime early next
Take a trip through the annals of gaming history with three retro-inspired highlights dropping on PS4 and PS VR next week. Huntdown is a neon-drenched action shooter set in a crime-ridden city that needs cleaning up, PS VR’s Pixel Ripped 1995 follows up the excellent Pixel Ripped 1989, bringing the original’s clever concept into the
After lots and lots of #hype in the form of a livestream digital painting reveal that was the precursor to a proper trailer which was also just a precursor to what we were assured would be a first look at actual gameplay, folks were a bit let down by the not very gameplay-looking new video for
Tokyo Game Show organizers, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) in Japan have announced that there will be no physical event this year in Japan due concerns regarding the coronavirus.

Epic Games has secured some big names from the EDM scene for their Fortnite Party Royale Premiere event that kicks off later this week with the likes of Deadmau5, Dillon Francis and Steve Aoki all taking part in the virtual concert. The festivities kick off at 9PM ET on the free-to-play battle royale title and
You can pretty much tell exactly what Hyperdot is, just by looking at it. It’s a game where you control a circle and avoid other shapes in another circular arena. There’s no story the game is trying to force, there’s no progression system or even any characters. But none of this is a bad thing.
Rainbow Six Siege is getting dapper with The Grand Larceny, a special in-game event available to Xbox Live Gold members from now until May 19.

There are a bunch of different kinds of difficulty in games. Some test your reflexes and timing, some test your tactical smarts, and others try your patience. SnowRunner’s brand of harsh difficulty is a uniquely slow paced but infectiously rewarding blend: it’s a sandbox-style trucking simulator where the enemy isn’t time, it’s the harsh and

The tweet in question is
My first glimpse of Paper Beast came during last December’s jam-packed State of Play presentation. Nestled between the mind-bending puzzles of Superliminal and the Kingdom Hearts III expansion was a captivating trailer showcasing a first-person journey through dreamlike terrain. The video featured interesting topography and trippy visuals, but what did it all mean? What do
After the official soundtrack for Doom Eternal was released on April 18th to Collector’s Edition owners, players quickly noticed that something sounded off. It turned out that there was a marked difference between the tracks Eternal’s composer Mick Gorden had mixed himself and those done internally by Id Software. At the time, it was unclear
E3 got canceled this year, but EA just announced a digital EA Play Live event full of ‘world premieres, news and more,’ which will take place on June 11. This would have been around the time that E3 would have happened, so hopefully this is a good way to kick off the summer and we’ll get some
By Sherif Saed, Monday, 4 May 2020 10:00 GMT So far, it doesn’t look like Xbox Series X will be facing any delays, but games are a different matter. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has once again reiterated earlier comments that Xbox Series X hardware production hasn’t run into any major delays, confirming that the
Ever since 3dfx debuted the original Voodoo accelerator, no single piece of equipment in a PC has had as much of an impact on whether your machine could game as the humble graphics card. While other components absolutely matter, a top-end PC with 32GB of RAM, a $4,000 CPU, and PCIe-based storage will choke and
Welcome to the 41st edition of Box Art Brawl, the weekly vote to find the best of a bunch of regional box art variants from video gaming’s past. Last week we had a blast from the past with Mega Man returning to the brawl. Perhaps as expected, the infamously poor North American cover finished in
The official SEGA Forever Twitter has announced that SEGA AGES G-LOC Air Battle is now available on the Nintendo Switch.

It’s always strange to go back to a game many months on, leaving you frantically trying to work out what the hell is going on and what you were doing when you last stepped away from the experience. This time around it is my training as a bus driver that has come to the fore,

Still raging 26 years later, Streets of Rage 4 is a faithful revival of the classic arcade beat-’em-ups. Move from left to right, punch enemies, destroy objects for points, health, and weapon pickups, punch a few more enemies, and repeat. It’s simple and unadventurous, and while it expands modestly on combat with a few new
In the midst of several big event cancellations, Evo 2020 organizers announced in March that plans for the annual summer tournament were still underway. Since then, however, the situation surrounding the coronavirus pandemic has been slow to improve. As such, it’s no surprise the fighting game event’s organizers are now pulling the plug on a
Ask me about any of my favorite games and I’ll usually have a single, extremely vivid memory to share. Examples: Crossing the finish line a scant second before the No.13 ‘Devil’ car in Ridge Racer (my PSone controller slick with sweat from multiple failed attempts). Stumbling upon the Inverted Castle for the first time in

If there’s one thing that the battle royale genre does right outside of multiplayer mayhem, it’s crafty easter eggs, teased out over weeks, more often than not leading to massive in-game events. One such situation looks to be rumbling on over in Call of Duty Warzone with the arrival of the Red Access Card. Call

You know how it is: you go to sleep on a creepy space-faring colony vessel which has a run in with a spacial anomaly and you wake up to find the halls of the ship stalked by a nightmarish enemy. Before you know it you’re in a violent, existential fight for survival. That old chestnut.
