Playing through Hogwash Legacy. Great game with some bugs. The world is great with moving pictures, students doing things in Hogwarts etc... Overall would recommend if fan of the wizarding world.

Many games Im looking forward to including AC Mirage

New Mortal Kombat game has been officially announced. It's called Mortal Kombat 1. Here's the trailer (nsfw:gore) - https://youtu.be/B9Jmkoc6nm8

Here's what the Kollector's Edition comes with : https://press-start.com.au/news/play...s-edition/amp/

I'm absolutely psyched for this. Skarlet better have made the roster.

I don't think they have announced what's in the KE yet.

The next 12 months or so are going to be massive for fighting games. SF6 is in June (I've preordered that). MK1 will be September (I'll preorder soon). Then sometime next year we are getting Tekken 8.

I'll just be sticking with MK1. I'm not a big Tekken fan, and I'm assuming SF6 will be PS5 exclusive, and I only own an Xbox Series X and a Switch, so no joy there. That's fine with me, MK has always been my favourite.

Fingers crossed we get that Collector's Edition. I want that statue.

SF6 is coming to Xbox. So check the Xbox Store if you buy digitally or check EB, JB, etc for a physical version.

Bad news. No KE in Australia so you'll need to order from overseas.

I've been playing the Mortal Kombat 1 Beta. It's fun, but feels a bit too similar to MK11 in many ways. I don't like the Kameos, as I feared. They just annoy me and get in the way of fighting. You get 6 fighters and 4 Kameos in the Beta to try out. I loved the look of Li Mei, all magenta fireworks and explosions, she looked great. Alas I couldn't pull off her moves well enough, so it looked more like I was doing the occasional little pop and fizzle. Then I discovered Kenshi. He's right up my alley this time around. Easy to use, and very badass. I always liked the character, but only really used him way back in Deception. This is obviously a vastly different Kenshi, and I love him. A tonne of fun. Kameo wise Sonya was pretty useless, while Kano seemed to be the best, seconded by Frost. Fatalities seemed too similar to MK11's style, and even brutalities were much the same visually (I managed to luck out and hit a few). I just can't shake the feeling this game is too soon, even though it's been 4 years since the last. It just doesn't do much that differently in a lot of key places.

You just had Towers and Versus to play with. They really needed to show us some of these new modes to whet our whistle, the Beta felt rather insubstantial as it was. I was hoping for a sample of the Invasion mode. I'm still buying the $150 edition day one, but there's parts I'm not really sold on, mainly the Kameos.

I do hope McFarlane does figures again, and that we get Kenshi nice and early. He'd make for a great figure.

I've preordered MK1 on Steam via the legitimate key reseller Green Man Gaming. A little over $110 for the most expensive version of the game going that route. Too bad for me NRS are making the betas console only. Still, the game is only a month away from release.
