[Update 2: The recent Cage Family Trailer the recent details of the first chapter of Mortal Kombat X has revealed both Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade as playable characters. Their preliminary info is available in the gallery.]
[Update] It looks like those on PC can get in on the savings too, as Respawn Entertainment has just confirmed that Titanfall's add-on content is now free to those of the "masterrace" as well.
***CHAPTER 1 SPOILER ALERT, DUH***
In a demo shown behind closed doors at GDC 2015, NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. gave us hands-on time with the first chapter of Mortal Kombat X, which takes place primarily 25 years in the future after the events of the last Mortal Kombat. Spoilers abound for the prologue of Mortal Kombat X (as well as the finale of Mortal Kombat IX if you haven't played it), but if we assume that the story for Mortal Kombat X will have a chapter for almost every character on the roster, this will be but a mere sliver of the full story. At the very least, Johnny Cage, who now sports a Nathan Drake-like haircut without his signature shades, will be a playable character.
The fine folks over at 2K Games and Turtle Rock Studios have just announced that they'll be releasing two new multiplayer maps for Evolve, the monster-based 4v1 shooter that launched earlier this year.

About two minutes in is when the actual gameplay starts. As a change from the Final Fantasy version of Theatrhythm, notes can be seen coming from top to bottom rather than side to side, giving players a little less time to react. That seems to me like it'll make the game harder.
When I first read the description for Shelter 2, I imagined a game that simulated an animal's plight to raise her cubs while fending off numerous threats such as predators, starvation, and harsh weather. Being a human mother is difficult, but animal mothers can't purchase food, hire babysitters, or let the TV entertain their children for hours on end. Unfortunately, it has only taken a few playthroughs to realize that this game amounts to little more than a feeding simulator with pretty visuals.
Sega and Game Freak (you know, the development studio behind the PokeĂłmon franchise?) have just announced Tembo the Badass Elephant, a brand-new 2D sidescroller coming to consoles and PC later this year.
More Steam than Gabe Newell could shake a stick at.
Illinois Representative Abraham Lincoln would go on to be one of the United States' greatest and most recognizable figures in its history, but even as much as we know about his tenure as president, the list of minute trivia from "Honest Abe" runs as long as his stovepipe hat. For example, Lincoln still clocks in to this day as the tallest President of the United States, standing about 6' 3.75", just a few inches shorter than the average player in the National Basketball Association this season. President Lincoln was the first to establish a federal banking system in 1863, standardizing the nation's currency for the first time in its history. And though Honest Abe was proficient with an axe or hatchet, he could not bring himself to kill an animal, even for food. It has been noted, however, that President Lincoln allegedly did not carry that policy over to .
In celebration of the game's one-year anniversary, it appears the folks over at Respawn Entertainment and Microsoft are running a very special offer.
Right now if you head over to the Xbox Games Store, you can download all of Titanfall's season pass content for Xbox One and/or Xbox 360 completely free of charge. That includes a total of three DLC packs, each containing a trio of multiplayer maps.
It looks like Minecraft may soon no longer be playable in Turkey. Believe it or not, the country is reportedly seeking to ban Mojang's hit world-building phenomenon because of its in-game violence.
Sorry, PlayStation fans. It looks like you won't be playing Nathan Drake's next adventure on PS4 in 2015, as Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has been delayed to spring of next year.
"Project BlueStreak," the working title for Boss Key Productions' first game, finally has some in-game footage for fans to drool over. Give it a view above and keep in mind that this is a pre-alpha teaser, so it may not be representative of the final product.
The godly MOBA SMITE will be releasing on Xbox One some time later this year, courageously bringing its legion of followers to console or perhaps getting new console players to experience what SMITE is all about. But for now, Hi-Rez Studios will be having an Early Access test on Xbox One, starting March 11, and we've got nine codes to give away.
Human Head Studios, the studio behind Prey and its tragically canceled sequel, has announced it is working on a brand-new horror game... for mobile devices.
The game is called Lost Within and will be coming to both iPhone and iPad, as well as Amazon's Fire phone and Fire tablet this summer. Oddly enough, the studio is collaborating with Amazon Game Studios for its development and release.
What struck me more than anything during my time on the show floor at PAX East was how many games from independent developers there were. So many of the big-name publishers like Ubisoft, Sony, and Electronic Arts were no where to be found. Instead, hundreds of tiny booths littered the floor, populated by game creators hoping to be the next Notch.
Alien: Isolation developer Creative Assembly is gearing up for development of a new big-budget game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
According to a recent job listing, the studio is looking for an "online/multi-player programmer" who "has thorough experience developing a range of online features." oes on to add that Creative Assembly is "creating another multi-platform AAA blockbuster and the successful applicant will be part of a team which allows our game experience to be shared."
Electronic Arts and Visceral Games have released a launch trailer for the upcoming cops vs. criminals shooter Battlefield Hardline.
While the game was originally supposed to release late last year, Visceral needed a bit more time to polish up the experience so it won't be releasing until next week. Will the long wait have been worth it? based on the killer action-filled gameplay trailer above, I'd say its chances are quite good.
[Update] The Xbox One system update for March, which adds the long-awaited screenshot feature, is now rolling out to Live users, Microsoft has confirmed.
What are you waiting for? Hop on and enjoy all the new changes!
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita will be released in China on March 20, Sony has just announced.
