This Beat-'Em-Up Wants You To Fight Like Batman And Move Like A Rock Star

Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham games set a new standard for beat-’em-ups, mixing tight combat with a rhythmic flow that made you feel unstoppable once you got into it.

Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Producer Lashes Out At Negative Reviews

I really wasn’t expecting the positive reviews for Mortal Kombat II, due in theaters May 8. Its most recent “Let’s Fuckin’ Go” trailer suggested something that looked so far beyond campy schlock that it would surely be the sort of colossal flop that develops into a cult favorite. But instead, with reviews now out, it’s sitting…

How to get the Shard of Serenity in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

The task to bring the Shard of Serenity to Klastor in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is perhaps the trickiest objective in the campaign.

Mortal Kombat Co-Creator Wants A Street Fighter Crossover

Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were the Coke and Pepsi of fighting games in the ’90s. I don’t know why we pitched them against one another. Maybe adopting the console war language of Nintendo vs. Sega was the easiest way for young minds to analogize the differences between the Capcom fighter and its U.S.-developed counterpart….

DLSS 5 And Endless Remakes: Fans React To The New Star Fox

Are you still recovering from the mental whiplash of Nintendo’s surprise Star Fox Direct? I certainly am. The showcase revealing that Star Fox 64 is getting remade yet again showed Nintendo remains the king of getting people buzzing about something they collectively find unimpressive.
