Mortal Kombat X PC Will Not Get Netcode Update or New DLC


Posted on January 20, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Nether Realm Studios’ latest fighting game, Mortal Kombat X, hit several platforms last year including Xbox One / PS4 and PC. 

According to a community specialist with the company the PC port will not be receiving a substantial Netcode update or the second season of extra characters.

Fighting game fan site Shoryuken described the revelation that the PC port would receive no more major updates thusly:

NetherRealm Studios community specialist Tyler Lansdown has confirmed that Mortal Kombat X’s upcoming Kombat Pack 2 will not be heading to PC.

The PC port of Mortal Kombat X was handled by a third party developer outside of Nether Realm and MKX wasn’t the only major game from last year to have a broken PC Version. Players of Rocksteady’s Batman Arkham Knighe also experienced major issues as well.

Season 2 of MKX’s DLC will add Learherface, Xenomorph (from the Aliens franchise), Bo Rai Cho and Triborg.

WB Games / 2K Sales Hit PlayStation Network This Week


Posted on January 20, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Prepare to enter the shadows like the caped crusader or sneak up on some Orcs like the protagonist of 2014’s Shadow of Mordor with deals from both Warner Bros Games and 2K Games on PlayStation Network this week.

I’ve neglected to list pricing on these games simply due to the fact that the Canadian dollar is in a bit of a free fall right now and I suspect the prices I am seeing on the PlayStation Network might not exactly be accurate.

Currency oddities aside there are a number of excellent games from years past on sale this week. If you haven’t played any of the Arkham games across both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 the entire RockSteady trilogy is available at a reduced price.  You also can’t go wrong with the Handsome Collection – which includes two awesome Borderlands titles (2 & Pre-Sequel) with enhanced graphics for the PlayStation 4.

PS4 Games

  • A Boy and His Blob
  • Batman Arkham Knight
  • Borderlands: The Handsome Collection
  • Evolve
  • Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
  • Lego: The Hobbit
  • Mad Max
  • Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY Edition
  • Mortal Kombat X
  • WWE 2k16

P3 Games

  • Batman Arkham Asylum
  • Batman Arkham City
  • Bioshock
  • Borderlands 2
  • Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
  • Mortal Kombat (2011)

Mortal Kombat X Officially Announced


Posted on June 2, 2014 by Rae Michelle Richards

The next entry in the Mortal Kombat franchise has just been announced for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. Set for release in 2015 this cross-generation entry in the long running fighting franchise has a lot to live up to after the huge success of 2011’s Mortal Kombat.

A brief two minute debut trailer was released alongside the announcement of the game. Rival ninjas Scorpion and Sub-Zero battle it out in this two minute all out brawl, which of course finishes off with a brutal decapitation. Some mechanics from the 2011 game return including the  brutal X-Ray attacks. In one of the absolute standout moments we see Sub-Zero use the environment to his advantage by swinging from a tree branch, delivering a swift kick to the face. Perhaps environments will play a larger role in Mortal Kombat X?

Check out the debut trailer after the jump, we’ll have more on the game as it become available.Read More
