Mortal Kombat, has become such a massive franchise after 10 distinct iterations, spin offs, and mashup games, that all people need to see is the logo, and they know what they’re getting. Mortal Kombat X, which launched April 2015, will re-launch in March as Mortal Kombat XL with all of the game’s downloadable content (characters, skins, movesets, etc.) developer NetherRealm Studios announced this morning. The special edition launches March 1 in North America and March 4 in Europe, both online and in stores, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. (Windows PC was not mentioned in the announcement video.) Pricing is not yet known. The DLC covered includes everything from Kombat Pack 1, which is already out, and Kombat Pack 2, which is coming soon. Both of those cost $29.99 for any guys (OR GIRLS) who love playing Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat X is NetherRealm Studios’ next highly-anticipated installment in its legendary, critically-acclaimed fighting game franchise that propels the iconic franchise into a new generation. The game combines cinematic presentation with all new gameplay to deliver the most brutal Kombat experience ever, offering a new fully-connected experience that launches players into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy.
For the first time, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game’s most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together.
With all the drama recently surrounding Chris Brown, not to be overlooked is the upcoming release of his long-awaited sixth LP, X, which will finally hit shelves September 16. As a final push before the project drops, Chris Brown releases the video for the Ariana Grande assisted single “Don’t Be Gone Too Long.” In the fairy tale treatment, Breezy is tasked with saving his cinnamon apple, Grande, from the evil ruler. X will contain 21 songs with appearances from Lil Wayne, Tyga, Usher, Rick Ross, Kendrick lamar, Trey Songz, Akon, Nicki Minaj and Aaliyah.
NetherRealm Studios has debuted another reveal trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat X this time focusing on Kano. “Mortal Kombat” creator Ed Boon walks you through the video and reveals the three different variations for the character – Cutthroat, Cybernetic and Commando.
Kano’s cutthroat style sees the character use his cybernetic enhancements to power up his attack abilities. The Cybernetic variation provides Kano with more long range abilities, and defense from areal attacks, while Commando enhances Kano’s grappling abilities. Mortal Kombat X is scheduled for release in 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
After lots of teases on Twitter by Mortal Kombat co-creator and NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon, NetherRealm has now announced Mortal Kombat X! Fueled by next-gen technology, Mortal Kombat X combines unparalleled, cinematic presentation with dynamic gameplay to create an unprecedented “Kombat” experience. The announcement trailer, which you can watch below, features an an original track by Wiz Khalifa titled “Can’t Be Stopped.”
After a considerable delay from its slated late 2012 release date, the 6K Red Dragon sensor is finally ready — and it seems to have been worth the wait. The first test footage (after the break) has come from cinematographer and Red booster Mark Toia, who stress-tested it in difficult conditions like high contrast daylight and dark night scenes. Afterwards, he said the camera has three more f-stops of dynamic range than the MX-equipped Epic and thinks the new sensor brings the “best highlight falloff I’ve ever seen from any digital camera,” including Sony’s $65,000 CineAlta F65 4K model. Though Red put on a show of upgrading Epic and Epic-X cameras with Dragon earlier this spring, the company recently said that deliveries would start in September. Meanwhile, Dragon equipped cameras are in the hands of other notable DPs and directors too, like Peter Jackson, Michael Bay and Darius Woski — meaning you can likely expect a deluge of Dragon eye-candy over the coming weeks.
So, what does a $300,000 cell phone look like? Made from polished and brushed grade 5 titanium, the Celsius X VI II LeDix features a flying tourbillion equipped with exclusive shock-absorbers, and a modern transparent design. There are around 600 mechanical parts in the phone, including 330 that deal with the watch movement alone. One of the main features of the phone is the Remontage Papillon. Housed inside a hinge, the Butterfly Winding is activated with each opening, thereby adding three hours of power reserve to the total 100 hours. Suppose you’re mega-rich and can afford one of the 18 limited editions. Is the Celsius X VI II LeDix worth its hefty price tag? It caught my eye because of its pretty aesthetic, but without many spectacular features, it’s probably best to just hang on to your BlackBerry or iPhone.
