Nintendo Direct February 2019 Summary and Reaction
The latest Nintendo Direct started with a bang by dropping a trailer for Super Mario Maker 2 and kept the hits coming throughout to end on an announcement trailer for a remake of Link’s Awakening. While it may not be as iconic or spine-tingling as when the Switch was announced, it was a solid and fun ride throughout. We’ve got a quick link to the archive, as well as a handy list of eve...[Read More]
Ed Boon Reveals Secret Mortal Kombat Game, Mythologies: Scorpion
It’s been 19 long years since we’ve seen a side-scrolling Mortal Kombat action game, but fans fondly remember Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero on PlayStation and Nintendo 64, and pounding enemies into pud while avoiding dangerous traps. And that’s exactly what producer Ed Boon is banking on. Hinting at a big “Mortal Kombat secret” for several weeks now, Boon finall...[Read More]
Review: Mortal Kombat (Vita)
If Mortal Kombat is to be remembered for, and associated with, one thing for the rest of eternity, and one thing only, it should be this: bloody gore and incredibly violence. Okay, that’s two things. I find it easier to simply acknowledge the mistake and move on rather than edit my opening sentence. That being said, Mortal Kombat introduced a level of brutality and disturbing visuals that ha...[Read More]
Review: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend (Vita)
Before starting up BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, I had never played a BlazBlue title. I remember being very interested in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger when it released back in 2009, but at the time, for whatever reason, I passed on it, and as I got farther and farther away from the release date, I simply gave it up as a lost cause and moved on. When BlazBlue: Continuum Shift was released in 2010...[Read More]

A 24kb Download: Finding DLC On Disc
Downloadable Content (DLC) has been a total game-changer this generation for consoles. From PC-like expansions, to map packs, we’ve seen just about every type of digital good sold either on Xbox Live Marketplace or the PSN Store. Under all the glitter and gold of really great DLC, is a very dark world. Something much worse than the nickel and dime DLC trick (I’m looking at you Guitar Hero an...[Read More]
Review: Mortal Kombat Season Pass / Skarlet DLC (360)
Looks like DLC passes might be the wave of the future. First Rockstar’s L.A. Noire, now Warner Bros. Mortal Kombat (you can read my review on the game here) is using this business model to sell DLC. The way it works is you buy the pass for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15 Bucks), and it gives you future DLC at a discounted rate. Without the pass, Skarlet, Rain, Kenshi, and a yet to be announced kombatan...[Read More]
Sony’s Betrayal
April 25th: Some people may or may not know this, but reviewers for Marooner’s Rock typically have to buy the games we review. Occasionally we might get lucky, but for most games I post about, I have to spend my hard earned money on. I like to think that by spending my money, I can help other people spend theirs more wisely. When the games are great, it makes it more than worth it. When they are b...[Read More]
