Shortly after the launch of Mortal Kombat 11, professional fighting game player SonicFox released his tier list naming the best fighters in the game. At the time, SonicFox’s tier list was short, naming Geras, Sonya Blade, and Erron Black as the top three fighters in MK11. Now, after having competed in the Combo Breaker 2019 tournament, SonicFox has released an updated Mortal Kombat 11 tier list, ranking the fighters in categories from S tier to B tier....

You’ll need quick fingers for this one. Another one of Mortal Kombat 11’s many secrets has been uncovered just over a year since the game launched. Eagle-eyed players recently spotted a seemingly random meteor flying across the background in the Towers of Time mode’s menu screen. These players quickly realized that the meteor always shows up at ten minutes past the hour, on every even hour. However, the secret to interacting with it took much longer to solve....

During Mortal Kombat 11’s Kommunity Reveal event, NetherRealm Studios unveiled a story trailer that helped prepare fans for the plot of the next entry in the long-running fighting game franchise. Not only did the footage offer hints of the narrative beats to come, but also it confirmed the introduction a new character called Kronika, a magical figure who wields time-manipulating powers.

It seems Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is sticking around in Early Access for longer than expected. During a one-year anniversary recap, developer TaleWorlds Entertainment admitted that the game needs more time and the team is not ready to release it yet.

Handhelds are nothing new, but handheld gaming computers are very new. Essentially an evolution of tablet technology with built-in game controllers on either side, these Switch-like machines offer something in between a gaming laptop and a handheld console. Although certainly not as powerful as a true gaming laptop, handheld PCs like the Aya Neo provides something the Switch doesn’t: flexibility. The Aya Neo is a computer running Windows 10, which means you can install and run anything you’d expect to on a laptop....

YouTuber Mr. Beast has earned a reputation for giving away large sums of money, both to random people and those that partake in his challenges. Recently, Mr. Beast gave his fans another shot at winning a massive prize of $100,000 through the Finger on the App 2 challenge, which sees players compete to be the last with their finger on their phone’s screen.

Players of Red Dead Online might have noticed something odd in recent days. Lobbies seem devoid of human life, with a typical day bringing just a few other players into the same game world. Sometimes, a Red Dead Online player has an entire lobby to themselves, and while this might make an MMO like Red Dead seem like a lonely place, it’s actually having the opposite effect. People are loving the new bug/feature of barren lobbies, which seems to have been implemented to solve Red Dead Online’s connectivity issues from a few weeks ago....

Contains spoilers for Neighbours. The end of Neighbours has prompted the return of its prodigal children. Not just the on-screen ones journeying to Ramsay Street to reunite with lost loves/burn down Lassiters/marry Paul Robinson, but also us – the Aussie soap’s lapsed viewers. We’re back too, sticking one last hopeful hand into the cookie jar of nostalgia, hoping to feel… well, anything. The only problem: Neighbours is unrecognisable now. There’s no Helen Daniels and Bouncer has long retired to the big farm in the sky....

Founja Jungle is the next location you visit in New Pokemon Snap after meeting Illumina Meganium in Florio Nature Park. Unlike the wide open meadows of those courses, Founja Jungle is filled with narrow, winding paths through thick flora, with Pokemon like Liepard, Leafeon, and Ledian prowling, flitting, and whizzing through the dense trees. Just like all the other locations in New Pokemon Snap, Founja Jungle’s layout changes as you earn ranks....

Dropping alongside the launch of the PlayStation 5, Sackboy: A Big Adventure will see the resurgence of LittleBigPlanet’s seminal mascot, Sack Boy, for the first time since LittleBigPlanet 3 in 2014. Unlike Media Molecule’s take on the character, however, A Big Adventure will see the adorable icon stray into a more conventional platformer world, as he switches out the 2D realm for a 3D focus. It will also see a bigger focus on story than the LittleBigPlanet franchise ever did, which is highlighted better than ever in the most recent trailer for the upcoming PlayStation 5 launch game....
