Packed with content, further refined, and open to a wider audience than ever before, Mortal Kombat 11 is still a violent masterpiece that draws first blood with its new roster additions.
This is the end…which incidentally isn’t just a great Seth Rogen and James Franco movie, but also the theme for the final video game schedule post of 2020!
