What's in a name? That's the question that Mortal Kombat studio CCO Ed Boon is asking, as he recently set up a few polls asking for opinions on what the next Mortal Kombat game should be called. According to Boon, three possible names were on the table: Mortal Kombat 12, Mortal Kombat 13, or Mortal Kombat 2. "Footnote: Some people are assuming the title with the most votes will determine where we take the story," Boon wrote online . "That’s not the case. We’ve just had difficulty kounting lately." The current naming convention for Mortal Kombat doesn't make much sense if you've taken a break from the franchise. The series made a successful comeback in 2011 with Mortal Kombat, the ninth installment in the franchise. This was followed by Mortal Kombat X in 2015 and Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019, which brought the original storyline that began in 1992's Mortal Kombat to a close. This was followe

Valve Is Giving You More Ways To Know If A Game Runs Well On Steam Deck
Valve's Steam Deck verification program has been a helpful, if somewhat flawed, method of determining if a game is a good fit for the company's handheld PC. But while many games might be granted a "Verified" badge, there have been many cases where real-world performance doesn't live up to the expectation of players. That's why Valve has introduced a more nuanced way for you to determine if a game is a good fit for the Steam Deck. Along with the Steam Deck verification status, games will now feature average frame-rate data on the store page once Valve has gathered enough data from players. This will give you an indication of real-world performance on the Steam Deck, collecting data from other players using the Steam Deck in their default states and averaging it across their total playtime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOWq-zO-5t4 "The current Steam Deck Verified compatibility rating is
WoW: Forever Just Received Its First Big Post-Launch Changes
World of Warcraft: Forever received its first post-launch updates over the weekend, giving players a good reason to run each dungeon more than once alongside upcoming class tweaks. On November 8, developer Blizzard issued a hotfix that increased kill experience while in dungeons by 50%. According to the forum post , Blizzard said this is so it "feels better to go back for more runs," and made reference to a Wailing Caverns dungeon quest to collect Deviate Hides that often requires more than one run. It previously outlined upcoming class changes that will go live on November 10. Those changes will make it so Hunter and Warlock pets are sturdier, improve Affliction Warlock's damage-over-time spells, and make it so Enhancement Shamans will want to pursue strength and attack power items instead of intellect and spell power ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwOWAf06YPg The debate on how m
