It’s time to see everybody’s favorite charming cast of bloodthirsty killers again with Mortal Kombat 11! We’re of course talking about people like Hollywood actor turned ex-military Johnny Cage, Icy-Hot best buddies Sub-Zero and Scorpion, and of course EarthRealm’s favorite bumbling Thunder God, Raiden. This time around the cast is thrown into a new conflict where multiple iterations of themselves from different time periods crash together. But, the story isn’t all that’s different, MK11 has been massively improved since MKX....

It’s no secret that the Mortal Kombat franchise is extremely violent. In fact, Mortal Kombat’s gore is extreme enough that the game has actually been discussed in Congress as part of the debate on video game violence, and how it may or may not impact those who play the games. There’s been plenty said about the potential impact or lack thereof when it comes to people playing violent video games, but rarely do hear about the people making these violent games....

It has been quite a while since we last heard that the popular sports title NBA Jam could be returning, as many speculated several years ago that the launch of the series’ On Fire Edition for PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 would spur into motion a new and more sumptuous Triple-A release of some kind for the brand. Now, though, it looks as if the sports title could be making a comeback sometime soon, as the game’s announcer, Tim Kitzrow, has teased a potential project being in the works....

If you’re not familiar with Netflix’s Black Mirror, it’s one of the most thought-provoking shows out there. Black Mirror is a dystopian sci-fi series in which every episode stands on its own, so you don’t need to commit to a full season to really get the flavor of it. It was originally inspired by the show, The Twilight Zone, but it tackles more controversial, modern topics. Aside from the very first episode of season one (because seriously, it was weird, and not necessarily in a good way), each episode of Black Mirror brilliantly delves into human relationships with technology....

It has been a while since news about the Dragon Age series of games has been on the game industry’s radar, but BioWare’s fantasy RPG will likely be a hot topic now that Mass Effect: Andromeda has released and seen the bulk of its major post-launch updates rolled out. Despite the fact that Dragon Age’s lead writer left BioWare fairly recently, it would appear that the developer is hard at work on something within the Dragon Age universe - and that Alexis Kennedy, a freelance video game writer with quite the indie pedigree, is involved in creating its lore....

This review is spoiler-free for Night Sky. Several characters in Prime Video’s Night Sky awaken to the idea that something is missing in their lives, something to make them feel special. Even the elderly couple Franklin (JK Simmons) and Irene (Sissy Spacek) who have kept secret a portal to another planet under their shed struggle to glean its purpose. The show, then, has the same thematic dilemma of finding its hook beyond the Lost-like puzzle box narrative: why should we care about the stranger who shows up in the couple’s lives (Chai Hansen) and what effect he has on them?...

Brazilian Nintendo enthusiasts were feeling a little left out by the Japanese gaming magnates, so they decided to do something about it. While Nintendo is an international company, its games and services aren’t accessible in all regions, and Brazilian fans have suffered as a result.

As a result, some of them have banded together to make an unofficial Brazilian Nintendo Direct....
