Reptile Returns In Mortal Kombat X, And He's So Dreamy
The tongue, the acid spit, the evisceration — so adorable. The very first secret Mortal Kombat character is the latest combatant revealed for Mortal Kombat X.
Kung Lao Appears In Mortal Kombat X As An Old Man With A Hat
With Mortal Kombat X's story spanning some 25 years after the events of Mortal Kombat 9, it's no wonder former Shaolin monk Kung Lao is looking a bit long in the tooth. It beats being dead.
Netherrealm Studios' Mortal Kombat X releases worldwide on April 14, 2015. Goro has also been revealed as a pre-order exclusive character for the game, with the teaser shot above accompanying the press release. MKX is planned to hit Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC simultaneously.
Mortal Kombat X Manages To Make Kano Look Interesting
My least favorite kombatant since the original game, Kano returns next year in Mortal Kombat X with some killer new moves and looks that will both stop and start traffic.

Is it odd that I'm less excited about the new characters coming in Mortal Kombat X next year than I am having three different versions of my old favorites, each with their own play style? Meet Combo Raiden, Mobility Raiden and Control Raiden.

Why Mortal Kombat X Is So Gory
If you, like me, were in the front few rows of Sony's E3 press conference when they showed off Mortal Kombat X on stage, you would also have been deafened by the loud cheers of excited gamers. They were oohing and aahing at decapitations and exposed organs and lost limbs.

As promised, General Zod, the super-powered Kryptonian tyrant, is now available as a downloadable character for Injustice: Gods Among Us. As an extra, Netherrealm Studios threw in a bit of a history lesson discussing Zod's past, his motivations, and his uncanny ability to shove people through the moon's core.

Superman goes rogue and all hell breaks loose in Netherrealm Studios' fighting title, Injustice: Gods Among Us. It's an all-out brawl between the heroes and villains of the DC Universe—who will come out victorious? That would be the critics, who are having a hell of a good time.

DC’s been putting out a crankier, less friendly version of the Justice League in the comics tying into the newly released Injustice fighting game. Superman takes over the world for the greater good and some heroes align with him. Aquaman isn’t one them, though.

The greatest comic book battles aren't between heroes and villains. You can catch Batman punching out the Joker's magically regenerating teeth any day, but the Caped Crusader versus Green Lantern, or Superman, or Raven "We Need More Women in the Game" Roth?

You wouldn't know it from reading many popular DC Comics, but there are limits to how violent the adventures of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman can be. At least in video games, and probably movies too.
