News Haha, This Mortal Kombat Trailer Is So Melodramatic/Kinda Awesome
We love it when games try to give gameplay completely barren of plot a story
In Mortal Kombat you punch people, and rip their head off, and breath fire on them. That's all there is to it. And it's awesome. Is there really need to concoct some kind of revenge story involving clans and melodrama? NetherRealm thinks so.

News Anyone Remember This Is Vegas?
Vaguely
We vaguely remember This Is Vegas. There was a bit of a push behind it at E3 2008, but by the time this website launched (in January 2009) things had gone quiet for the Midway published game. To be honest, we'd forgotten about it. So it's been weird seeing rumours pop-up all over the Internet this week regarding the projects status —...
