Get both Kombat Packs for cheap-ish It’s been a few months now since the second Kombat Pack forMortal Kombat Xwas revealed, and while we’ve known which characters will appear in the DLC pack since last month, today Warner Bros. finally told us how much we’ll have to pay to get our hands on them.

Details on NaturalMotion’sBackbreakerhave been scarce since Iplayed the game back at E3, but once the game found apublisher in 505 Gameslast month, I figured we’d be seeing something new relatively soon. Well, I suppose this trailer is technically something we haven’t seen before, but really, it’s just more of the same (admittedly kick-ass) footage — that is, in-game video, but not straight-up gameplay. Still, the trailer does a good job of showcasing the main selling points ofBackbreaker: the low-on-the-field camera, the physics-based bone-crunching hits, and the striking visual style....

Here’s what’s up with the flame bear It’s been a little while since we’ve heard anything fromVlambeerabout their upcoming projectsLuftrausersandNuclear Throne.

Asone of 2023’s infamously problematic releases,Payday 3has had to fight tooth and nail to eke out some stability for its players due to its always-online nature. Now, roughly three months after the game’s come out,Payday 3receives its first major expansion pack,Syntax Error. Followingthe “long and complicated” period of patching,Payday 3developer Starbreeze Studios initially had to put its post-launch content plans on the back burner until the dust settled.

The Premium Pass inPokemon TCG Pocketis a handy choice for those who, like Ash, want to “Catch ’em all.” But unlike the anime, you’ll have to shell out extra money if you want to quicken your in-game progression.

Bandai Namco eventually confirmed that Tira will be purchasable, day one, as priced DLCorcomes as a free bonus to those who pick up theSoulcalibur VIseason pass....

Kid Icarus: Uprisingwill be bundled with some free AR cards and a special stand for your 3DS. Placing your console on the stand will make it easier to play the game, as you wont have to support the weight of the console with your hands while using the game’s stylus-and-circle pad control scheme. Some would say that this is a sign that theKid Icarus:Uprising‘s developers needed a crutch, as they weren’t able to create a game that could be played optimally with the 3DS’s standard design....
