Mortal Kombat is one of those gaming franchises that should have been an easy fit for a movie. Somehow this has not happened even after two, three, attempts now. I blame the first one’s failure to connect with fans on that MPAA rating – PG-13. Seriously? It was like they made the movie based on […]

Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Official Friendships Video Released
May 18th, 2020
Carl Williams Mortal Kombat 11 is the latest entry in the popular fighting game franchise. As the number there suggests, this is the eleventh entry in the main series. At this point I am sure the spin-off games are probably not considered canon. Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath is the upcoming expansion that is bringing plenty of extras. […]
Mortal Kombat 11 Celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day
March 12th, 2020
Carl Williams Fans of St. Patrick’s Day and Mortal Kombat 11 will be thrilled to know that the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment fighter likes the festivities too. How, you may be asking yourself, can you celebrate fun and drinking in a game about beating others up in gruesome ways? Little details and plenty of free, for a […]
Animaniacs Takeover Warner Bros Studio Lot – Today in History – May 14th, 1994
May 13th, 2018
Carl Williams Konami back in the day rocked. One case in point was their licensed use of cartoon character such as Tiny Toons or Animaniacs (two popular “new” cartoons form the 1990’s). There was such a time that a company such as Konami would invest money into creating two wholly separate titles for the same license across […]
Playstation Agony, Part 3: Dukes of Hazzard: Racing For Home
December 4th, 2016
Michael Crisman It’s now week three of this nonsense, and I’m taking a break from my standard office routine of editing random articles in Wikipedia to honor my editor’s contributions to pop culture. Quick fact: did you know it was RGM’s own Carl Williams’s behavior that inspired Whale to write and record their 1995 alt-rock hit, “Hobo […]
PlayStation Agony, Part 2: PowerPuff Girls Chemical X-Traction
November 27th, 2016
Michael Crisman Having survived the wretchedness that was The Simpsons Wrestling last week, I reached into the bag to discover what new form of torment my punishment would take this Sunday. I’d keep a positive attitude about this, but when Carl, my boss, picks the topic of discussion I can only be positive he’s gone out of […]
Acme Animation Factory Gives Gamers Small Taste of Cartoon Creation – November 5th, 1994 – Today in Video Game History
November 5th, 2016
Carl Williams You can tell how mainstream a console is based on the more “off the wall” titles that it received. For many this is experimental titles such as My Disney Kitchen on the original PlayStation. This can also be gauged by how many Barbie games a console has available. Let’s go back a little further and […]
Tiny Toon Adventures Busts Onto Sega Genesis – Today in History – February 7th, 1993
February 6th, 2016
Carl Williams When Sega released Sonic onto the world, it just furthered the notion that every company needed a mascot. This was particularly true for console manufacturers- there needed to be an exclusive game series that was ONLY on one platform to entice gamers to buy into it. This was also true for third parties though, especially […]
Atari 7800 Discontinued – January 1st, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
January 1st, 2016
Carl Williams A good six year run is what the Atari 7800 had in North America. It could have been longer had Atari played their cards right in licensing the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). They didn’t and it cost them dearly. Interestingly, the Atari 7800 was announced a good two years BEFORE it was released. They announced […]
Mortal Kombat X Not Coming to Last Gen Consoles, We Look at Reasons Why
August 28th, 2015
Carl Williams You read that headline right, Mortal Kombat X is no longer coming to the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 (Nintendo Wii owners welcome their fellow gamers). It seems that Mortal Kombat X on the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 just didn’t measure up to the quality of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One […]
