DLC Review Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Adds More Gore for a Brutal Price
Lacking in kontent
Last year's Mortal Kombat 11 was another solid entry in the legendary fighting franchise, but its reliance on unnecessary grinding left us colder than a Sub-Zero fatality. Aftermath, the series' first story-focused DLC, is similarly fun to play but offers a distinct lack of content for the price it charges. The first thing to...
News Mortal Kombat 11 Trailer Focuses on Free Friendships Update
Cute and cuddly
Mortal Kombat is obviously known for its blood and gore, but it's no stranger to some lighthearted levity either. Friendships have been included in various games in the franchise's past, and are an alternative to fatalities that swap out the carnage for cuteness.

His soul still burns
Spawn's arrived in Mortal Kombat 11 as a particularly deadly DLC character, and by all accounts he's great fun to play as.

Not only does the iconic antihero have a load of different outfits based on his many incarnations, he also boasts one very...
Rumour Harry Potter RPG, Rocksteady's New Game, More Were Planned for Warner Bros E3 Show
Dark times, Harry, dark times
The news we were all kinda waiting for has landed: E3 2020 isn't happening. At least, not in its usual guise. There won't be a big live event in LA, and there won't be any flashy onstage press conferences from the industry's major players. We imagine some will turn to digital presentations in the vein of a Nintendo...

Rumour Is the Unannounced Batman Game Called Arkham Legacy?
A reveal at The Game Awards?
Last month, everybody thought we were gearing up for the announcement of a new Batman title during Sony's previous State of Play livestream. But then it came and went with no such reveal.

Partnership reaffirmed for new project
The Hitman franchise has swapped hands a bit over the years.

News Hitman 2's Final Piece of DLC Takes a Trip to the Maldives, Out Next Week on PS4
Along with two more Special Assignments
It feels like, compared to its predecessor, Hitman 2 has very much gone under the radar. It was a great game at launch, but we think it's safe to say that the sequel hasn't had the same impact the episode-based original had. Nevertheless, IO Interactive's latest rounds out its season pass content next week on...

The leaks were right
After months of leaks and rumours and some often absurd speculation, the contents of Mortal Kombat 11's 'Kombat Pack' has been revealed.

Cross-gen zombies
And there's another PlayStation 5 game to add to the list.

Yes, the free-running zombie action game is making the leap across platforms...

E3 2019 Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 Packaging Appears to Leak
Includes a bunch of bonus goodies
Turns out this author does get things wrong from time to time. Regardless of what CD Projekt RED has been saying, we didn’t actually expect Cyberpunk 2077 to release on the PlayStation 4 – at least not before the PlayStation 5 had established itself anyway. But between this leaked product packaging and a...
News Rocksteady Games Skipping E3 2019
Fourth year running

Lloyd isn't impressed by NetherRealm's loot box solution

Review Mortal Kombat 11 - Making One Fatal Mistake
Fatality
Mortal Kombat 11 sees the return of the nearly 27-year-old franchise, and likely for its last hurrah on this generation of consoles. NetherRealm’s latest is a solid kontender for the best PlayStation 4 beat-em-up, but its heart has been korrupted by a baffling progression system. Picking up after the events of 2015’s Mortal Kombat X,...

Hammer time
We've known Shao Kahn will be included in the roster of Mortal Kombat 11 for a while now, but NetherRealm has just released a character trailer devoted to the hammer-wielding villain.

Beware the tax man – literally in Mortal Kombat 11’s case. NetherRealm’s revealed the latest all-new kombatant to join its brawler’s roster, and it’s literally a debt kollector – albeit one with four arms.
