Mortal Kombat 11 released today for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and while standard editions for a big title like this usually sit at $60 for weeks before dropping, the PS4 version of NetherRealm’s new fighting game is already discounted at Amazon (even Anthem lasted five days before dropping in price).

Amazon’s algorithm works in mysterious ways, and it’s possible the site is price-matching a random deal somewhere else on the internet, but regardless of the reason, you might as well save yourself $5 if you were planning to pick up Mortal Kombat 11 for PS4 today. If you’re a Prime member, you’ll get free two-day shipping on this title as usual.

The game received an 8/10 in GameSpot’s Mortal Kombat 11 review. “MK11 isn’t just a sequel for series fans and Netherrealm devotees, it’s a gateway into the realm of fighting games for anyone who has a passing interest in watching ruthless warriors beat each other silly,” wrote Edmond Tran. “Streamlined mechanics keep the act of fighting furiously exciting no matter what your skill level, and comprehensive tutorials encourage you to dig into the nitty-gritty. There’s a diverse roster of interesting characters and playstyles, and the story mode is an entertaining romp.”

The Essential MCU Films to Watch Before Avengers: Endgame

With Avengers: Endgame hitting theaters, you might be wondering which MCU movies you should watch (or rewatch) to prepare for this epic superhero event. While this new Marvel movie pays off on 11 years’ worth of MCU storylines, the only downside to so much build-up is that it’s pretty time-consuming for fans to sit down and plow through all these movies. That’s to say nothing of people who might only just now be getting into the MCU.

Fortunately, you don’t actually have to rewatch all 21 MCU movies to prep for Endgame. We’re breaking down the essentials here, the ones that introduce key characters or deal directly with the Infinity Stones that are so important in Infinity War and Endgame. Check them out below…

The Division 2 the Best-Selling Game of March 2019

Last month’s NPD (National Purchase Diary) report was released today, highlighting the top-selling games of March 2019 and the year so far.

Topping the charts this past March was Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 as the best-selling game across all platforms, and the sixth largest launch month for a Ubisoft release. The runner-up for the top spot went to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, with MLB ’19: The Show and Devil May Cry 5 trailing behind it in third and fourth place.

Avengers: Endgame Reviews Roundup – What Did Critics Think?

Avengers: Endgame will be released in theaters in just a couple days on April 26, and just today the embargo lifted on reviews for the much-anticipated follow-up to the tragic events of Avengers: Infinity War.

While we know it’s dangerous to go alone out there with spoilers, we’ve decided to do a spoiler-free reviews roundup that takes a look at the larger critical reception Avengers: Endgame is receiving until you are able to see and judge it for yourself.

IGN’s own 9.5-score review of Avengers: Endgame says that this film “is easily the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most ambitious, emotional, and affecting film to date, somehow managing to tie up more than a decade of storytelling in a confident (and mostly coherent) climax.” To read more from our review, as well as other outlets around the internet, read on and be assured that we will warn you if anything gets too spoilery.

Pokemon Detective Pikachu First Reactions Twitter Roundup

Pokémon Detective Pikachu was just screened to members of the press in Tokyo, ahead of the film’s release early next month. Their initial reactions are arriving on social media now.

The response has been positive so far, with those in attendance praising the film as cute, accessible, and a must-see for Pokémon devotees.

Here’s a roundup of Twitter’s first reactions:

IGN’s Terri Schwartz gave the film a rousing endorsement stating it completely nailed the world of Pokemon.

The Flash Has Yet Another Lousy Killer Frost Episode

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

Quite possibly the most annoying thing about The Flash this season (aside from Barry’s hideous costume) is that the writers can’t seem to separate the wheat from the chaff. “Snow Pack” is a perfect example. The series has plenty of great material to mine in this episode in terms of the falling-out between Barry and Nora and the question of how Eobard Thawne fits into everything. But this episode devotes just as much time to the agonizingly dull Killer Frost/Icicle storyline. Then, for good measure, Cicada stumbles back into the picture out of nowhere. This is easily one of the most uneven and frustrating installments of the show in a very long time.

Ghost Army: The Movie Ben Affleck Will Direct and Star in Instead of The Batman

Ben Affleck is set to direct and star in Universal Pictures’ Ghost Army, based on the book, The Ghost Army of World War II, by Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles, according to Variety.

The film will also follow the documentary of the same name, with Affleck reworking the script that was most recently written by True Detective’s Nic Pizzolatto, and a prior draft by Shazam!’s Henry Gayden.

Ghost Army is based on a true story of a squadron of recruits from the creative realm of art schools and ad agencies, who had to trick Nazi’s into thinking the U.S. had more troops than they did by using methods such as sound-effects records and inflatable tanks to deceit them.
