I’m seriously amazed by what the MK community has managed to achieve. Mortal Kombat HD : Kommunity Edition is a fan project to be distributed freely, and aims to completely recreate the first Mortal Kombat game. The good news is that MK HD: Kommunity Edition looks spectacular, and can be easily considered as the best tribute you’ve ever seen to NetherRealm’s classic fighting game. The bad news is that it’s only 25% complete. Continue reading Mortal Kombat HD : Kommunity Edition Is The MK Game You Were Waiting For

Great news for PC gamers as Capcom and Codemasters are going – or at least planning – to remove GFWL from their titles. As Codies revealed, it was really impressed with what 2K Games had done to Bioshock 2, thus the team is looking into removing GFWL and replacing with Steamworks. Though there is nothing concrete at this moment, it is obvious that both of the aforementioned companies are willing to step in and free their games from GFWL before it’s too late (GFWL services will be discontinued on July 2014).

Most of you have probably already heard of Dark Matter; a 2.5D side-scrolling survival horror game, set in a derelict spaceship besieged by a sinister alien presence, and infested with deadly parasites. Dark Matter had a Kickstarter campaign that failed, though Iceberg Interactive was able to somehow pull things off and publish the game. Well… not exactly we say. It turns out that the game is incomplete and does not last as long as it was initially advertised, something that makes us worry about all the upcoming Kickstarted games (whether they failed or not). Continue reading Dark Matter Is Incomplete, Yet Being Sold As A Finished Game

During Nvidia’s Montreal event, Carmack claimed that although he would be tempted to use Mantle, he would not do such a thing at this point.
