Gore and brutality? In Mortal Kombat? Are you sure? The upcoming Mortal Kombat movie apparently goes “right to the limit” of what it can get away with in terms of violence. That’s according to director Simon McQuoid, who told SFX Magazine – as reported by GamesRadar – that it takes its R rating seriously. Apparently, there’s stuff like someone ripping a foe’s heart out. You know, normal, cool stuff. “We wanted to push the [blood, gore and fatalities] right to the limit,” McQuoid said. He continued: “Obviously, there’s a point where the film becomes unreleasable if you push it too far, and tha ..read more

Mortal Kombat 11 is probably down on the list of games with an active modding scene, but every once in a while, someone decides to deliver a wild idea. We’ve seen camera mods before in NetherRealm’s latest, which offered a rare look at Fatalities and various stages from angles they weren’t meant to be seen. Modder Ermaccer’s contribution is MK11Hook, a modding suite that lets you mess around with the camera, control the game’s speed and more. MK11Hook is not unlike MKXHook, a similar plugin that ena ..read more

It’s probably beyond trite at this point to say that 2020 has been a wild and weird year. This goes for most of us, but for me, games often existed in their own sphere, away from whatever real-world disasters have befallen us that year. That is to say, I usually have a pretty good idea what my game of the year is each year, well before we write these.

Stripped down to its core elements, Ghost of Tsushima is an old open-world ..read more
