Mortal Kombat. For the Atari 2600.

If Mortal Kombat went back in time and made sweet love to Pitfall, the result would look something like this. Yes, that’s Scorpion up there. What? Yes, I’m sure it is. Just squint and you’ll see how the yellow-and-black bits evoke the garb of the gory fighting game franchise’s undead ninja. Mortal Kombat: Netherrealm Journey…

People Are Already Making Overwatch Fan-Movies

Blizzard’s upcoming multiplayer shooter Overwatch is not even in beta yet, but some fans are already done with their first live-action video, with some of the characters fighting around the Overwatch HQ.

Red Dead Redemption’s Title Screen, Running On PC

You can’t stop progress The Xenia emulator is still a long way from actually playing Red Dead—this is just the boot sequence, the game itself isn’t playable—but if there’s one game more than any other people want to get running on their PC, it’s this one.

Destiny Fans, Here’s Your Christmas Present

For such a gorgeous game, it’s weird that there hasn’t been more Destiny stuff available. 3A is making it worth the wait, though, as their upcoming Titan figure looks shit hot. Going on sale next week (and in very limited quantities), it’ll cost $190. At 1/6 scale (12.6 inches tall), it comes with four weapons,…

Crazy Millennium Falcon Toy Is 18 FEET LONG

Stop, toy companies. Stop this madness before somebody gets hurt. Hot Toys, they of super-realistic action figure fame, also make 1/6 scale Star Wars figures. For the Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong show going on right now, they decided to also build a Millennium Falcon to stick some in. With the figures being 1/6 scale,…

Oh, It’s Half-Life, Running On A Watch

Yeah yeah, we know Doom runs on everything from calculators to ATMs, but that’s Doom. There’s something about seeing Half-Life running somewhere crazy—like some guy’s watch—that makes it more impressive. Using the SDLash app, you can boot and play Half-Life (or, I guess, any older game using the Source engine) on an Android Wear watch.…

League Of Legends Changes Champion’s Looks, Fans Flip Out

Changing a playable character in League of Legends runs the risk of offending at least part of the online multiplayer game’s tens of millions of players. But I’m not sure development studio Riot Games could’ve predicted what set off fans this week: a slight alteration to a woman’s cheekbones. Oh, and her bangs. The owner…

This weekend, Destiny’s Trials of Osiris will select maps from a randomized playlist. The playlist will consist of the six maps that Trials has already used. This should be interesting! See you all out there, and remember: winners don’t teabag.

Pokémon In Unreal 4 Looks Fantastic

If only actual Pokémon games looked this good. Hell, if only actual Pokémon games were open world! The GIF above comes from CryZENx, who has put some Pokémon models inside the lush A Boy and His Kite Unreal 4 demo.

So, uh…you can now purchase the latest hardcore jumpscare simulator for $7.99 on Steam. So much for that supposed August release! This might seem like it’s out of left field, but it’s not. YouTubers such as Markiplier have already gotten a chance to play the game, and many of the previous games were released early,…

Talos Principle DLC Gives You an Excuse to Play The Talos Principle

The Talos Principle, Croteam’s philosophical puzzler about artificial intelligence, the existence of God, and moving laser beams around in ancient-seeming spaces to open force fields, was one of my top three games of last year. OK, it was exactly No. 3, if you must know, followed in ascending order by South Park: The Stick of…

Pro Wrestler Wears Dragon Ball Armor, Gets His Ass Kicked Anyway

Not even Saiyan armor can save this guy from a quick defeat. If you tuned in to last night’s WWE NXT show, then you might have seen a segment featuring the unstoppable Baron Corbin and a wrestler wearing iconic Dragon Ball armor: Here’s the armor from the DBZ anime, for comparison’s sake—different color, but similar…

Bethesda just announced the Fallout Anthology It’s a collection of every PC Fallout game that comes in a container that looks like a mini-nuke. It’ll be out at the end of September. War never changes, but buying old games does, apparently.

What Happens When You Do A Fallout Tutorial At The End of The Game

Most games force tutorials on the player near the start of a new adventure. But Fallout is a game all about freedom…and that lets hilarious situations like this one happen. Watch as Hunter-1 tackles the New Vegas tutorial waaaay after they are meant to. While the game lets you skip this introductory level, it doesn’t…

In case you were wondering if Uncharted 4 was any good! Looks like there’s a glitch in Google’s Uncharted 4 shopping page. Good for a laugh.

Heroes Of The Storm’s New Skeleton Warrior Has A Great Strut

When you play game after game of a MOBA like Heroes of the Storm, you start to appreciate the tiniest little details of how a character looks and feels. Still, I’d never really focused on the nuances of a hero’s gait until yesterday when King Leoric arrived inHOTS. Leoric is a long-time villain from Blizzard’s…

New Tomb Raider Will Come To PC and PS4 In 2016

Windows players will be able to play Rise of the Tomb Raider a few months after it launches on Xbox. PS4 gamers will have to wait a year. There’s been anger and disgruntlement at the exclusivity of Rise of the Tomb Raider, which was initially announced as an Xbox platform exclusive last August. Turns out…

What Was the Best Boss Fight from the Batman Arkham Games?

We’ve gotten four good Batman games in the last six years, each one bigger and more ambitious than the last. They’ve all pit players against The Dark Knight’s evil enemies in dramatic set-piece showdowns. Let’s see which one you thought was the best. Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight all boast at…
