Here, we list the Top 5 of these games, the ones that caught our attention and made us pee our pants!

The new and improved Mortal Kombat XL dropped today for the PS4 and Xbox One. MKXL includes all content featured in the original Kombat Pack and Kombat Pack 2 containing extra skins and playable characters. With its new and expanded version we thought it was just about the right time to collect the best of MK fatalities.

On Saturday July 11th, 2015, Nintendo President and CEO Satoru Iwata passed away due to complications with a bile duct tumor that he was diagnosed and treated for in 2014. While this is but a sobering reminder that no one can escape the specter of death, the loss of Iwata hits close to home for many people, myself included. When I was five, my late aunt and her husband got me and my sister our first home console despite my parents objecting to it: the Super Nintendo. From that point on, I would be a Nintendo fan for life, asking specifically for Nintendo games and systems every Christmas and birthday, playing them and having a blast with them from Super Mario Bros. to The Legend of Zelda, and from beginning to end, I would have a huge grin on my face.
Released back in August of 2012, Guild Wars 2 has come a long way. For a MMO with no monthly fee you're getting quite the bargain. Sure you have to dish out the cash to buy the game; but let's be honest, you were doing that anyways. The humans over at ArenaNet didn't waste any time creating a playable story. Offering new releases every month makes it easy to feel like being a player matters. GW2 offers fantastic graphics that keep you in awe of the world around you. Experience during game play is at a no-lag and quick-load time agenda. To put it simply, your time won't be wasted waiting for a server to finish being stubborn.
