Mortal Kombat 11 is out, and from what we’ve gathered from the critics, it’s damn good (at least on PS4). However, despite the acclimation, one major critique has stood out, especially among fans. In order to unlock items from the Krypt, the game’s hub for gear and other accessories, it takes a lot of grind — far too much for many. Yesterday, during developer NetherRealm’s Kombat Kast, the team addressed the grind issue, promising a fix....

With Mass Effect 2 winning plenty of 2010 video game awards and Mass Effect 3 placing high on most gaming outlet anticipated lists of 2011, it’s no surprise that the franchise is branching out onto other mediums. We’ve long heard the talk of a Live-Action film but that’s not coming anytime soon. What we do have though are Mass Effect novels and soon, an anime film! Del Rey has announced that they are working on a fourth Mass Effect book, titled Mass Effect: Deception, which is being written by William C....

Since 2004 EA has been running Super Bowl simulations using Madden, on Xbox 360, to try to read the tea leaves of who will win the big game. This years sim between the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts resulted in what many people are assuming, a 35-31 shootout. Saints QB, Drew Brees walked away with the Super Bowl MVP after throwing for 3 TDs and nearly 300 yards. Madden has been 5-1 since EA started running this simulation....

Welcome back, you seekers of new releases. No point in beating around the bush this week. Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty is about to wage an all out assault on your wallet and your free time. Easily the biggest game of the summer, and probably the most important PC game in years, Starcraft 2 is a guaranteed blockbuster. If you need to brush up on the game before you dive in, be sure to read our beta impressions, check out the game’s system requirements, and have a look at the latest trailer....

Following on from a leak earlier this month, Gearbox has officially unveiled its upcoming game, New Tales from the Borderlands. As we sort of already knew, it is coming on 21st October across Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC (via Steam and Epic). This standalone, choice based, narrative is set in the “perpetually war-torn Promethea” and will see players deciding the fates of “three underdogs out to make mayhem in their business”....

Today, during the livestream to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of NieR: Automata, Square Enix had a couple more announcements to make on top of the brand new anime. First of all, the game has finally passed 6 million shipments worldwide including digital downloads and physical copies. That’s certainly a rather flattering amount for a game that was supposed to be a niche entry in a rather obscure series and ended up taking the world by storm....

Nintendo’s upcoming console, the Nintendo NX, will offer a “different” experience to that of its most recent hardware, president Tatsumi Kimishima has revealed, stating that it won’t simply be “the next version of Wii or Wii U”. Speaking to Time, Kimishima explained that Nintendo needed to “move away from those platforms” to create a console that would “appeal to our consumer base”, describing the NX as “a new experience”. “If you look back to the beginning of our conversation today, we talked about the transition from Wii hardware to the Wii U hardware and how difficult it is to explain to the consumer base what is different and new about the new hardware,” he said....

If you’ve been using your Facebook or Twitter account to login into your Nintendo account, then today will deliver some bad news. Nintendo has announced that you will no longer be able to use your Facebook or Twitter account to log in to your Nintendo Account starting Oct. 25, 2022, though it might be pushed back “due to system issues.” The company released the following statement on its customer support website....

There’s an old adage in mountaineering that you’re in the most danger when you start to feel safe. I’ve heard stories about climbers, wildly accomplished and in their physical prime, who died falling off relatively easy routes. A good friend of mine ‘decked’ on something comfortably within his grade early on in his climbing career. When I asked him what went wrong, he told me bluntly: ‘I didn’t respect the route....

Last week, Doomfist was revealed as the newest character coming to Overwatch. As with Orisa earlier this year, Doomfist is being tested in the Public Test Realm (PTR) on PC so when he is “properly” released, he will be as balanced as possible. A lot of players are already getting a lot of experience as Doomfist, and if you are interested in playing as him, check out our Doomfist guide. Not everyone is going to want to (or get a chance to) play as the newest character, so here are some heroes that play well against Doomfist....

The revelation that Miles Morales will be a part of the Ultimate Alliance 3 roster brings the game’s current Spidey total up to three. Spider-Man might well be the most popular superhero in the world right now. No offense to Tobey Maguire, but we would not have imagined that during the actor’s time as the web-slinger. Fast forward to now and in the last year alone we have seen a Spider-Man video game do incredibly well, been introduced to various Spider-People via Into The Spiderverse, and also witnessed MCU Spidey become an Avenger....

Have you ever reached Minecraft’s end credits? Doing so requires visiting its hard-to-reach The End dimension and defeating the Elder Dragon boss who dwells there. If you have got past this point, you’ll likely remember the bizarre eight-minute scrolling text story which comes next, before the end credits begin proper. It’s a truly odd read - structured as a conversation between two higher beings apparently observing you - the player. Perhaps even odder, it was never officially licensed to Minecraft developer Mojang, and subsequently is not owned by Microsoft....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has introduced a new gameplay mechanic that looks to change how gunfights go down. In past installments switching to your pistol was almost always a better choice than reloading. It’s quicker to do and gives you a better chance of winning a gunfight in a pinch. That still remains true in Modern Warfare 2 but the new Pistol Swap mechanic makes switching to your secondary stronger than ever before....

Capcom had to hold off on content updates for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne for a time. Back in April, the publisher halted all title updates indefinitely due to issues surrounding the detrimental impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Time has passed, however, and Capcom is once again ready to start delivering fresh batches of hot, steamy monster guts straight to you, the fans. Title Update 4, with the new Alatreon monster, will be available on July 9....

Vibrant adventurer Moss is hitting PSVR on February 27, developer Polyarc announced on the PlayStation Blog today. To mark the occasion, the studio has also released a new trailer for you to feast your eyes on. For those who haven’t been following its development, Moss chronicles the journey of mousy heroine Quill, as she travels through a human-sized fantasy landscape. The game aims to give you a greater sense of presence in the world with its combination of first and third-person antics, which come to life thanks to the use of Sony’s virtual reality headset....

Previously, we’ve talked about the top-tier units as well as skills and perks that you can level-up in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. In this guide, we discuss their practical application during battles via tactics/commands, formations, and the creation of armies. Note: This guide is intended for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord‘s early access stage. For more information, check out our Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord guides and features hub....

One thing about Pokémon Go is that you can always count on the Pokémon that will appear. After all, the game is slowly delivering critters that are already staples of the franchise. Go will probably get generation four soon, a collection of Pokémon that was released ten years ago in the main series. So imagine the pure surprise when Pokémon Go did the unthinkable last Saturday: release a brand new Pokémon out of nowhere....

EA has released a new story-focused trailer for Need for Speed Payback, which gives players their first look at the game’s intense story of betrayal and vengeance. The trailer comes in at just over one minute and features a bevy of expensive cars bashing into one another, an exploding house, walking with intent, revving engines, garage meetings and shiny eyes. Need for Speed Payback is set in the underbelly of Fortune Valley, and sees players take on the roles of three very different characters — Tyler the Racer, Mac the Showman, and Jess the Wheelman — who are forced to reform their collective as they seek payback against The House....

Season Four of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone will launch on June 17. Additionally, the roadmap shows that there will be plenty of new content for you to experience at the premiere of the season. Alongside Season Four, Treyarch will also deploy a patch for Black Ops Cold War. The patch includes weapon tuning on assault rifles, new features for the game, and more. To begin, every single assault rifle has some form of weapon tuning....
