Unfortunately, Shang Tsung’s recent reveal trailer pretty much kills any chance of Rain, Reptile, Ermac, or Smoke arriving as their own DLC characters. Last week, we found out some of Shang Tsung’s awesome new moves in a gameplay reveal trailer for the first Kombat Pack DLC for Mortal Kombat 11. While it’s great to see Shang Tsung back in Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa-form (with Tagawa being the actor who played Tsung in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie), the trailer also showed Shang Tsung turning into a bunch of ninjas we were all sort of hoping would arrive as their own characters, but it now seems that’s not likely to be the case....

Minecraft is one of the biggest franchises in the gaming world. After its humble beginnings from indie developer Mojang, the beloved build-’em-up has gone from strength to strength.

Anyone who’s played Skyrim knows that it’s not a game that you can sit down and play for a half hour, or even an hour at a time. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a true test of time and a real investment for fans of the series. Much like its predecessors, players can spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours in the massive high-fantasy open world, and will still look forward to finding a new quest or having a new experience the next day should they choose to do so (and most probably do)....

Skyrim has an incredible legacy nine years after its initial release. The vast open-world, countless side quests, and varied abilities have made Skyrim one of the most acclaimed titles from Bethesda. The game has been re-released multiple times over the years but players are still adding to the content available through fan-made mods. A new feature has now been added by players and it will please animal lovers. Skyrim allows players to explore a rich world and for many, it is one of the best RPGs ever made and mods have only added to this reputation....

Spider-Man: Miles Morales - the game thought to be the bridge between Insomniac’s Spider-Man and its incoming Spider-Man 2 - was the cause of much excitement when it was announced as an addition to the release of the PlayStation 5 last year, and that excitement was backed by the superhero title being the most-downloaded PS5 title in November. The game, also available for the PS4, brought an entirely new playable character to the fore albeit one fans were quite familiar with....

However, the customers of one outlet in particular seem to be facing a great deal of problems with regards to ordering a PS5. Over the years, GameStop has seen its fair share of problems....

On June 30th, the final day of the Mortal Kombat 11 Tournament at CEO 2019, Dominique “SonicFox” McLean won the tournament in a 3-1 victory against longtime rival, Ryan “Dragon” Walker. After suffering a 3-0 loss against Dragon in the semi-finals, SonicFox faced a tall challenge in winning his way to the top: he had to fight his way to the top of the “Losers” ladder, and then face off against the finalist of the “Winners” ladder in two sets of three out of five matches (whereas Dragon, the “Winners” finalist, would only have to win the first match to claim the title....

Our quick take Sony Cyber-shot HX200V - 4.5 / 5 What’s the angle? At the controls Pro performer? New sensor: triumph or too trying? But there’s more To recap The HX200V takes Sony’s existing superzoom formula and further improves the recipe. A great design and manual zoom ring, bags of features and decent performance across the board tick all the right boxes. It’s only the so-so image quality and high price that may disappoint....

When Sony attended Paris Games Week in 2016, the company brought with it a handful of exciting reveals and announcements, including a trailer for Detroit: Become Human. And now that Sony has confirmed that it will be returning to the event this year, it has vowed to impress fans once more. Sony confirms that on October 30, 2017 at 3PM GMT / 4PM CET, the PlayStation Live From Paris Games Week will begin and it promises “a slew of updates and announcements”....

Though Spider-Man fans may soon be seeing Doctor Octopus on the big screen once again, it could not be much longer before they are seeing him in real life as well. A new project sees the Spider-Man villain’s prosthetics being used for a practical cause, and it may not be a one-off occurrence. For those unfamiliar with the character of Doctor Octopus, the villain is a tragic one, boasting a neurological disease that will eventually see him losing motor functions....

In Resident Evil 2, players have a choice to play through the story as either rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy or college student Claire Redfield, who has decided to travel to Raccoon City to search for her brother Chris. While Leon and Claire explore many of the same areas, their paths through those areas differ and some of the puzzles and items they encounter are different. Additionally, there are some items that are only available for one character and not the other, and that’s the case with the Heart Key....

The next entry in the world’s most popular survival horror franchise, Resident Evil 8: Village is already looking to be an absolute blast. With everything we enjoyed about Resident Evil 7 seemingly coming back, we can’t wait to get our hands on another round of undead scares. Coming out of Capcom’s Resident Evil showcase gave players a much better look at what the game would offer this time around, but it also led to new questions as to what will happen and how it will be executed with the next-gen hardware....

There are six different body types that cars can have in Rocket League. Each body type affects each car in different ways, providing them with better height, boost, handling, speed, and other features. It could be said that each body type caters to a specific role or playstyle in this racing game. Victory in this multiplayer game has more to do with the person behind the controls than the car being used....

It’s no secret that some studios and creators revel in the haziness of their respective audiences. Not to name names – or switch around the letters of names to form anagrammatic Swedish alter-egos – but the undeniable thrill of keeping an audience guessing is one that can transcend both the artwork itself and the process of creating it. Still, there’s always a fine line between guile and manipulation. While gamers might be tempted to view Rockstar Games as overly cryptic or clandestine thanks to Grand Theft Auto 5’s hermetic absences from the media spotlight – both currently and in the one-year gap between its announcement trailer and any follow-up details – the studio reassured fans recently that it has no intention of being disrespectful or, for that matter, being uptight....

Although Ubisoft has not officially announced Far Cry 6 yet, a recent leak has revealed the game’s story, setting, and characters. Interestingly enough though, eagle-eyed viewers who saw the leak managed to notice something odd about the key art, which might suggest a possible connection to Far Cry 3. The detail in question relates to the boy that can be seen in the key art. According to the leaked information, the boy, whose name is Diego and who’s the son of the potential villain named Anton Castileroux (played by Giancarlo Esposito, who is known for his role as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad), is the young version of Vaas, the villain from Far Cry 3....

The Mass Effect franchise may currently be on hiatus, with Electronic Arts deciding it’d be best to take a break from the sci-fi action RPG franchise after the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda. Yet that doesn’t seem to have impacted fans’ excitement for all things Normandy and Shepard. If fans can’t have a new Mass Effect game for a few more years, they ask why not make a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster?...

Based on an article posted back in February 2020 that caused a hot debate, a scientific study at the Visual Perception and Attention Lab at Brunel University is asking why a large minority of gamers not only choose to invert their controls but stand by it as “the only way to play.” In a previous article ran by The Guardian, writer Keith Stuart posed the same question, positing that choosing the option to invert controls could be a result of one of two subconscious choices: either the player grew up with games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, which had the Y-axis inverted as the default option, or it is based on how the player perceives their relationship with the avatar....

Avengers: Endgame was a stellar success that has been praised by fans since its release, but the version of the film we saw in theaters was by no means the initial plan for our favorite characters. We were almost given a version in which Thanos arrives in the year 2023 with the severed head of the fallen Captain America from 2012. This was revealed by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely at a panel during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con....
