News Kotal Kahn Gets His Ass Kicked in Mortal Kombat 11 Reveal Trailer
Unlucky introduction
Man, these Mortal Kombat 11 trailers have got a little bit weird, haven’t they? This latest clip is supposed to introduce Kotal Kahn, but because Jacqui Briggs hasn’t got much screentime yet, it spends the majority of its runtime showing the Emperor of the Outworld getting his ass absolutely whooped.

Review The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame - A Factory Built Sequel That Plays It Safe
Everything is alright
As with the film, you're likely to go into The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame knowing almost exactly what to expect.

Soapbox Don't Sleep on the Hitman Series Or Its Upcoming Sequel
Lloyd loves strangling strangers
The Hitman franchise is an anomaly. It's a game focused on the act of killing, but it's not a shooter. Instead, it's a puzzle game with dozens of variables and parameters. It's a stealth game where you can walk out in the open. It's a series with not one but two (pretty dismal) Hollywood adaptations, with a stoic...

News Three Cartel Leaders Need Killing in Hitman 2's Colombia Level
Can you do it undetected?
Three cartel leaders have all descended on the same Colombian village, and you have permission to put them to sleep in Hitman 2.

An assassin's need
There’s surely a formula to the very best Hitman levels, and the good news is that Hitman 2’s new Miami stage follows it to a tee.
