As revealed by a synopsis on the officialMortal Kombatsite,Mortal Kombat 1will feature “Kameo” characters who are separate from the main roster and appear to act like assists. Although it might feel like we’ve known about the existence of a new Mortal Kombat game for quite some time now (well,thanks to a Warner Bros. earnings call earlier this yearandtons of hints from NetherRealm, we have),but it’s actually only just been officially announced earlier today through a CG trailer....

Easter eggs and hidden secrets have been part of gaming for decades; they’re fun, exciting, andPikmin 4is no exception to this nostalgia inducing tradition. Given that Nintendo has a long lineage of games, consoles, music rights, and other copyrighted materials, there are plenty of references to choose from.

Has this ever happened to you?: You’re playingFinal Fantasy 16and the game crashes. It’s a hard crash, too, the kind where you need to unplug your PS5 and restart it to get the game running again. It happened the first night I played Final Fantasy 16, as I approached the end of an early boss fight against the Morbol. As I was close to emerging triumphant against the great beast, my TV went black, then gray, flashing “HDMI 3” in the top left corner....

Call me old-fashioned, but the idea of playing any video game with earbuds sounds ridiculous. I don’t have a problem with wireless earbuds. I use a pair of Galaxy Buds2 when I exercise or go grocery shopping, and sometimes when I have trouble sleeping. They’re great for listening to podcasts and audiobooks while you multitask, and they tend to have pretty good noise-canceling. But I’m not looking for convenience when I game, I’m looking for power....

As a big fan of Arkane, Redfall was a major letdown. I wrote about why it fails as an open-world looter shooter at length in my review, but the short version is that the character progression, loot systems, mission design, and narrative fail to come together in a cohesive way or deliver a worthwhile experience that compels you to stick with it. Even outside of its major gameplay bugs, Redfall just isn’t a particularly compelling looter or shooter....

Half-Life’sscientists might look like endless clones thanks to memory limitations of the time, but that hasn’t stopped them from taking on personalities of their own. ‘scientist01’ became Isaac Kleiner in the sequel, but in the ’90s, he was dubbed ‘Walter’ by the community, even spawning fan-fic called “Walter’s World”. ‘scientist02’ meanwhile became known as Einstein, thanks to the striking resemblance, but concept and 3D artist Chuck Jones, who designedGordon Freeman, says he was actually inspired by President George Washington....
