Shh, don’t tell anybody Well this is interesting. Normally we brave, noble Android users get the shaft in terms of software, with iOS set up as the lead platform for a lot of games and developers muttering “we’re working on an Android version set to release some time in the future.” Amazon has given out free apps of the day through its Android service in the past, but this sounds like a whole other enchilada....

One of the publishers that I find most irksome in this industry is Warner Brothers. They currently own most of the properties of defunct published Midway Games, and by extension, Atari Games. Despite owning the rights to a lot of great game franchises, they only seem interested inMortal Kombat. They’ve done dick all with everything else. This includes some of my all-time favorites, likeTapperandSmash T.V. It’s enough that I’ve considered these games to be unavailable, or as a recent study termed them, “critically endangered....

Arthas was always the Lich King! Fans were stunned afteryesterday’s announcementofWarcraft III: Reforged. Not only did Blizzard remember thatWarcraftwas once a strategy game, but they were going much farther in updating the classic than last year’sStarCraft: Remastered. This could almost be considered a remake of the quality of textures and cutscenes going on. That touch up is extending to a bit more than just aesthetics, though. Asreported by Polygon, Blizzard’s Brian Souza and Pete Stillwell elaborated on the changes coming toReforgedin a post-presentation interview....

‘I’m a button masher fo’ sho’ Conan O’Brien got to play an early copy ofMortal Kombat Xwith football stars Marshawn Lynch and Rob Gronkowski for the newest Clueless Gamer segment, and the results were hilarious. They have some of the best reactions ever to the fatalities and close-up attacks. We get to see them try out some of the new fighters, including Ferra/Torr, Cassie Cage, and D’Vorah, as well as some of the classic fighters, like my personal favorite, Kano....

Also that new level looks ridiculous! DICE was back on stage again today, as they announced Commander Mode forBattlefield 4. Showed on stage for a “live” 64 player multiplayer session, the Commander is able to directly command their team by talking to them either from their living room on the actual game, or through their mobile device (most likely on iOS and Android, although this was not directly confirmed). Also shown off was a new multiplayer map inside a city where the fight was taken into a giant (I meangiant) skyscraper....

You’re laughing… I can’t beat laggy Geras… and you’re laughing DC Comics’Joker isn’t even live inMortal Kombat 11yet, andalreadyThe Clown Prince of Crime is making mischief.In a recent clip on theMKTwitter, Joker is seen preparing to square off against himself, and is bemused by his mirror image. “Only two of us? What an injustice!” Joker cries. To which his doppelganger replies “Imagine what we could do with a third…” This exchange immediately led to some folk springing to the conclusion that a third title in theInjusticeseries (also developed by NetherRealm Studios) is currently in development....

Hop in for a quick fix Epic has been following the Riot Games style of limited time game mode implementation, which is basically a take on “always leave them wanting more.” Following the lovely 50v50 mode, Blitz just opened up inFortnitethis week, which will host matches at amaximumof 15 minutes. The reason for this extreme low end game length is because the storm circle (read: the thing that makes the arena smaller and causes death) has a shorter counter, and it’ll rapidly force players into sticky situations and firefights....

Turn 10 talks about the challenges of next-gen development Forza 5is coming later this year on the Xbox One, and if it’s even half as good as promised, it’ll probably be a treat for racing fans.

Turn 10’s studio manager Alan Hartman stated, “a massive game, a quality game, an innovative game....

The Stalwart is a machine gun inHelldivers 2that doesn’t necessarily get used as much as it should because it can be rather difficult to master in the heat of battle. There’s a wide range of weapons available for players to pick up anduse in their loadouts inHelldivers 2. Many of these come from Warbonds, where players can exchange Medals for new equipment to blast their foes away in missions, but some, like the Stalwart and Machine Gun, are locked as Stratagems....
