When it comes to DLC fighters, the Mortal Kombat series generally uses a combination of key characters from Mortal Kombat’s history, and guest characters from other forms of pop culture that are relevant to that time. With Mortal Kombat 11, the first Kombat Pack included six new DLC characters in total with series veterans Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, and Sindel accompanied by a Dark Fate themed Terminator T-800, Spawn, and everybody’s favorite DC villain, the Joker....

Pressure on the gaming industry continues to mount as the World Health Organization announced that it would be voting on whether gaming addiction should be classified as an official disease. This isn’t the first time that governing bodies have used their influence to impact the gaming industry in some way. Notable recent instances of this can be found in governmental bans on certain forms of gambling inside video games and the current debate being waged inside the United States Senate as it relates to loot boxes and microtransactions....

Of all the gathering professions in World of Warcraft: Classic, Herbalism is perhaps the easiest and quickest to level up, apart from Skinning. This is because while one is questing, Herbs nodes are everywhere. Running to and from objectives or towns often can result in significantly long detours to snag that single herb we noticed, and the four that popped up while we gathered the first. Herbs are the crafting material needed for crafting potions, which are not profitable in the early game, but constantly selling in the late game for those needing to maximize their stats in raids....

Microsoft and Meta have announced a partnership that will see Xbox Cloud Gaming come to Quest VR headsets at some currently unspecified future point. Xbox Cloud Gaming gives Game Pass Ultimate subscribers the ability to stream and play a steadily growing number of titles on a range of Android, Apple, and Windows devices, as well as Samsung Smart TVs, Xbox consoles, and eventually, Microsoft’s dedicated Keystone device. And that list, as revealed by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during today’s Meta Connect event, will grow to include Quest VR head sets via the Meta Quest Store....

Today Microsoft had news to share about its popular Xbox Design Lab controller customization service. The service is coming to 11 new countries today, and those are Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Norway, Slovakia, and Switzerland. Another country will be added later this summer, and it’s Taiwan. We also hear that new options have been made available, including five different camo patterns Mineral Camo, Arctic Camo, Forest Camo, Sandglow Camo, and Blaze Camo (unfortunately you cannot choose the specific colors of each pattern), and new pastel colors: Soft Pink, Soft Orange, Soft Green, and Soft Purple....

Horror game fans are excitedly talking about a new horror game that’s just launched as part of Xbox Game Pass. The game’s name is World of Horror and it’s being pitched as a horror RPG deeply inspired by the works of two of horror’s most famous writers, Junji Ito and H.P. Lovecraft. Going off of those two names, potential players can probably guess that World of Horror goes to some very dark places....

Just days ago, Microsoft added two new games to its highly-popular Xbox Game Pass service: co-op puzzle game Death Squared and 2D action platformer Death’s Gambit. Now, the company has revealed that several other titles will be leaving Xbox Game Pass soon, and indeed there are some significant games among them. More specifically, Batman: Return to Arkham, Just Cause 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Snake Pass are all now listed as “leaving soon” within the Xbox Game Pass app....

Microsoft has announced that The Technomancer is leading the charge for April’s Xbox Games with Gold lineup, with Spiders’ action-RPG available for the entire month. Joining The Technomancer is Outcast: Second Contact, which will be up for grabs between April 16 – May 15.

We already know gaming merchandiser Numskull is busy building collectible figurines for a host of our favourite franchises, including Destiny, Silent Hill, and Resident Evil, but this week we discovered the next game character to get a replica will be Yakuza’s Kazuma Kiryu. Officially licensed by Sega, the Ryū ga Gotoku/Yakuza Statue is a “highly detailed replica statue, from the paintwork to Kiryu’s bicycle itself” and stands at an impressive 10....

Today is the final day of 2019 and with that marks Epic’s final free game for its holiday sale. After a rousing 13 days of games (with two being repeats), the year closes out on a fairly recent title with Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. Released only in October, this 2D platformer shows that developer Playtonic was on to something good with its retro-inspired mascots. The whole crux of Impossible Lair is that players can tackle the final boss whenever they feel like it....

Fortnite is a fever dream of crossovers from different, mismatched universes. Dabbing and dunking on foes with a squad comprising of Darth Vader, the Predator, and Goku has led to some disturbing online photos. (Although there might be something is alluring about watching The Joker do a Kamehameha.) But for those who want something extra funky to go with their Fortnite collaborations, I guess you can add a humanoid goat straight out of Goat Simulator 3 to the list....

Final Fantasy 7 fans were on cloud nine after the recent 25th anniversary showcase. Not only did Square Enix reveal the second part of the Remake trilogy - named Rebirth - but it also announced a remaster of the PSP spin-off Crisis Core. Since then, fans have been speculating that Crisis Core’s story will have increased significance in the wake of Remake. The release of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 - Reunion between Remake games surely offers a chance to recontextualise its story and characters....

Last week saw the release of two new games that do not support 60 frames per second gaming on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series consoles, Gotham Knights and A Plague Tale: Requiem. Many would argue that one of the greatest wins from the new wave of consoles has been that the majority of titles support 60fps - or even 120fps - representing a game-changing improvement over the last-gen standard 30fps. The question is why this brace of titles do not support this option and whether it signifies the beginning of the end of 60fps as a standard for console gaming....

The Disney+ series, Willow, continues on the adventures of the powerful sorcerer that first began in the ’80s classic movie with the same name. But now that the latest season is coming to a close, fans wonder if there will be a Willow Season 2 on Disney+. In this guide, we’ll provide you with the latest information to answer this question. Is There Going To Be a Season 2 of Willow on Disney+?...

Retro resurrection specialist Dotemu has announced that Windjammers 2 will also be coming to Xbox consoles, alongside its previously announced PlayStation, PC and Switch versions. The studio also confirmed that players will be able to enjoy crossplay between the Xbox and PC versions of the game. PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions meanwhile, will be able to play together cross-gen. Today’s news blast also includes the reveal of two more characters....

Henry Cavill, the star of Netflix’s new TV series The Witcher, has recently revealed that he is a gamer and shared some of the details of his man cave. During an interview on The Rich Eisen Show earlier this month, Henry Cavill spoke about his interest in video games and described his gaming space. Though The Witcher star didn’t go into much detail, the actor specified that he doesn’t technically have what could be defined as a man cave because he currently lives in a small house in London, which doesn’t leave a lot of room for a personalized man space....

It’s the weekend, which is the perfect time to pop the kettle on and work out the Wordle answer for today, 9th July. For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better - and if you fail to guess it at all, you’ll break your streak. The latter is why working out today’s Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going....

World of Warcraft Classic has attracted a lot of attention since its release last Monday, and Blizzard vastly underestimated the game’s popularity. But ratcheting a long-standing MMO back to its roots is hardly a new concept as developers look to harnessing the awesome power of nostalgia. WoW Classic was originally announced way back in 2017 a few years after Blizzard took down an unauthorized private server that was running an earlier version of WoW....

January. Huh. Yeah. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again. When the novelty of sobriety and boiling pulses in vegetable stock has worn off, what is there left to do in this cold, eternal month? Television, obviously. In January, television is your doughty friend. Its windscreen never has to be scraped with a Guardian free Great Speeches Of The Twentieth Century CD. It won’t try to convince you to eat a meringue made from whisked kidney bean juice....
