Rhiannon Bevan — Sat, 24 Jun 2023 16:26:27 GMT

Mortal Kombat canon is a bit all over the place. For years, every game instalment kept stacking new story developments on top of each other - which was fine when the characters didn't change all that much.

Gamers, We Are Not Catching A Break Till November

Tessa Kaur — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 14:30:16 GMT

The year has already been so full of games that I can barely catch my breath. April was stuffed with indies, Horizon Forbidden West’s DLC, Dead Island 2, and of course, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. June is already smashing us with Diablo 4 and Street Fighter 6, just weeks after the release of Tears of the Kingdom, and we still have Final Fantasy 16 to deal with. Out of all of these, I’ve only had time to play Jedi: Survivor and Diablo 4, and it’s literally my job to play and write about video games. The average person, who doesn’t sink hundreds of hours a month into gaming, will already have plenty of games to delve into for the rest of the year. But wait! We haven’t even talked about the second half of the year.
