Brutalities Return to Mortal Kombat X; New Trailer Revealed

February 27, 2015

Brutalities were special within the Mortal Kombat franchise. While a standard fatality could attract attention, a brutality required a lot more skill and quick input, where the opponent eventually exploded. It was a huge feat, and now they are back in Mortal Kombat X.

A new trailer shows off the characters within the game doing the new brutalities via Netherrealm and WB Games – which look more like fatalities this time around – but require the heavy skill to execute. Its a pretty awesome trailer and you can check it out below. Mortal Kombat X is getting closer to release, so stay tuned as there are sure to be more updates in the near future.

Donkey Kong Country Returns to the eShop; Three Donkey Kong Land Titles Added

Donkey Kong Country is a very special title – as are its sequels. Sure, I like the Retro sequels fine, but they lack a great quality that made these three games timeless that only Rareware could make. It was criminal when Nintendo lost the license for the eShop a couple of years back (which is the RUMOR of what happened, I personally think it was so no one would compare them to the newer titles), but now – DK, Diddy, Dixie, and all of the rest of this family are back.

As of today, you can pick up all three versions for the Wii U Virtual Console at a nice low price. If that wasn’t enough, all three Donkey Kong Land titles are available on the 3DS as well, which is fantastic to see as while similar, each bring a unique bit of portable platform bliss to the table.

Square Enix Bringing Dragon Quest Heroes to the West

It has been a bit since a Dragon Quest title has home to the west, as we have still not seen the release of the 3DS port of Dragon Quest VII (where is that, anyway?), but good news has come at last. Omega Force’s Dragon Quest Heroes will in fact be coming to the west on both the Playstation 3 (PSN) and Playstation 4.

Sure, that is awesome news, but if you are new to the namesake, here is a brief breakdown. This title is very similar to that of Dynasty Warriors, and brings all of the lore of the Dragon Quest franchise into one large experience with the Square Enix favorite implanting its charms everywhere. Yes, all the slimes and monsters along with some original scores from composer Koichi Sugiyama will be featured, making it quite the prize for fans everywhere. The release date is slated at this moment at 2015, so look for a date to drop later this year. As for Square, this is great- but we sure would like Rocket Slime 3 and VII for our portables.

CyberCook: Taster Teaches Cooking Skills with Virtual Reality

Cooking-challenged foodies can learn to cook without fear of burnt food, wasted ingredients, and potential stomach viruses with CyberCook: Taster. The edu-tainment simulator uses Samsung Gear VR headset to teach people with a wide range of skill levels.

Players will be able to test drive new recipes or learn about exotic new ingredients with CyberCook: Taster. An in-app store will allow players to purchase real life ingredients and cooking equipment, then have it delivered to their door. The app is the first piece of the upcoming CyberCook platform that will link real life cooking with technology through a variety of apps.

Starship CEO Martin Kenwright says:

“As well as offering an engrossing experience, CyberCook dispels the fear of experimenting in the kitchen. You’re involved with every stage of the cookery process. Why learn from a video when you can practice hands-on and without a single bit of waste? In a couple of years, we’ll reach new levels of realism. We’re proud to work with partners like Oculus and Samsung so early on in the VR lifecycle on a Gear VR exclusive.”

CyberCook: Taster is available for free on the Gear VR App Store. Learn more about CyberCook here.

The Evil Within: The Assignment gets its Release Date

The Evil Within: The Assignment gets its Release Date

Last year’s The Evil Within was a game that didn’t exactly live up to its hype. With Shinji Mikami at the helm and Bethesda publishing, many people expected more than what we got. However just because it didn’t live up to its hype, doesn’t mean it was a bad game. One thing that many players noticed was the fact that the conclusion left so many plot holes left unexplored and secrets buried deep. We all knew it was because it would be addressed in a follow-up DLC campaign, we just didn’t know when that would be. Well now we do.

The Evil Within: The Assignment is the first of the two-part DLC campaign that runs parallel to the main story and stars Julie Kidman (the junior detective who was supposed to be working alongside Sebastian during the events of the game). We will get to uncover her past, her present and exactly what was going on while Sebastian was fighting for his life. You can find out more about the content in the trailer below.

The Evil With: The Assignment will be available on March 10th for Xbox and PC owners, and March 11th for PlayStationers for the price of $13.45. Alternatively, you can purchase the game’s season pass for $25.95, which comes with both The Assignment and The Consequence (due later this year) DLC as well as an extra game mode where players can take control over The Executioner.

Street Fighter V Brings Back Charlie Nash in new Trailer

It has been a long time since we have seen anything about Charlie Nash in the Street Fighter universe but after teasing him a couple of months ago, Capcom has officially revealed that he will be returning in Street Fighter V. The last time we saw him was in Street Fighter Alpha II in 1996 and despite many assuming that he was killed by M. Bison, it seems that he is very much alive despite having some patchwork looking skin.

Street Fighter V will be released on the PlayStation 4 and PC and Capcom also announced that they will be holding an online beta for the title where those who pre-order the title in North America will automatically be enrolled to enter the beta when it launches sometime in the future.

Fans of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can soon make their mark on Chinese history as Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires is now available in North America and will be released in PAL regions tomorrow. Unlike the other versions of the game, Empires allows players to venture into the battlefield as their very own warrior, or a famous warrior from history if they so wish, and choose their own destiny.

Players will be able to select and team up with 83 unique characters, create unique looking horses, banners, and troops via an upgraded Edit mode. If a player chooses, they can even create a custom scenario to fit their own vision of Chinese history before they wade into battle.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires is available for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC though it is interesting to note that Koei Tecmo has announced a free-to-play “Free Alliances Version” will be released in March for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 where players can sample some of what the game has to offer with the option of purchasing content in seperate parts.
