Some of the heinous acts she has committed must be tackled to see if she is genuinely a heroic person, or is depicted that way....
Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are two of the most iconic fighting franchises in gaming history. So many fans of the genre and competitive players grew up with the early entries in these series, both of which are still going strong today. Yes, they’ve both made some missteps along the way, but what long-running franchise hasn’t? As such, both franchises have wide casts of fan-favorite characters (along with some who are more obscure, of course), and gamers love to speculate on possible Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat bouts and their possible results....
The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan is relatively plot hole free. That is incredible considering there were many in Supermassive Game’s last big title, Until Dawn. How Rami Malek pulled off some of his stunts still stumps us to this day. Anyway, even though there aren’t any glaring plot holes that doesn’t mean we don’t have some problems with the story. These ten things have us up and arms about their senselessness....

When you’ve been around the block as many times as our boy here, you’re bound to take a strange turn every now and then. We’re all familiar with Mario’s eclectic selection of jobs throughout the years — including plumber, demolition expert, licensed(?) physician, and gardening menace (how else would you describe his antics in Super Mario Bros. 2?) But the perennial everyman isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty in other ways and has built up quite a portfolio of unusual titles that didn’t receive as much fanfare as his better-known exploits....
Ghost-type Pokemon are interesting. Way back in the days of the first generation, there were only three Ghosts in the entire game—Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar—and all three were also part Poison. In addition, their moves were only super effective against other Ghost Pokemon, making them questionably useful at best. But as later games came out, Ghost became the primary type used for taking down the notoriously powerful Psychic-type (back before the days of Dark-type Pokemon)....
In the arms race between console and PC gaming, it’s hard to say which side really has the advantage. Console gaming can lay claim to an easy-to-pick-up control system, affordability, and a quicker turnover between installments of popular franchises.

It’s a franchise so big that even Nintendo’s flagship struggles to pull Pokémon numbers consistently....

Out of the three main roles in Overwatch, the tank position tends to be the role of the “unsung hero.” They prove terrific assets if the player knows what they’re doing, and can subtly make a large impact in turning the intense firefights your way. They can make for some “safer” choices for new and/or less aggressive players, given their abundance of health and protection. Yet, the flip side is that they’re also susceptible to enemy fire, being the larger, lumbering targets that they are....
