Be A Preview of His Mortal Kombat X
Appearance

Check out this Ermac concept
artwork by NetherRealm Studios Senior Artist, Bernard Beneteau. Seeing as
many of his designs from past MK games and Injustice have become a

Joey "Mr. Wizard" Cuellar made a special announcement tonight regarding
the official EVO '14 games lineup. Back when the original lineup was released,
many players were disappointed to see that no 3D fighters would be making an
appearance at EVO '14. However, that decision was revoked tonight... as TTT2
will now be featured at the tournament. Bandai Namco Games will also join this
year's EVO as a primary sponsor.

Ever since Youtube began

rendition of one of our favorite fighting game BGMs on guitar, piano, violin,
etc. TFG's newest Feature will highlight some these ultra-talented men &
women. VGM
Musicians will continue to be updated in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

trailer from last month in every way possible. However, Fukua is an actual
character Lab Zero created, featuring a different moveset from Filia (see patch
notes). Fukua is currently playable in the PC version, and Lab Zero CEO
Peter Bartholow stated...

|
|
|
The official
website for Blizzard's new fighting game, Blizzard Outcasts: Vengeance of
The Vanquished is now live. The website has a ton of content, including: a
teaser trailer, screenshots, character profiles, stage profiles, and even a look
at the exclusive Blizzard Outcasts fight stick, complete with credit card slot
for quick swiping. Told you not to believe everything you believe this week. :)
A very entertaining April Fools joke though.
