NBA 2K23 has a large emphasis on player choice, so much so that you can even choose which team drafts you at the start of its MyCareer mode. Although it may be enticing to pick your favorite team, your choice can affect your Hall of Fame chances and how much VC you earn a game. That said, there is a short list of organizations that give you the biggest edge — and some decent playing time from the start....

Lock and load, Guardian.

Rainbow Six: Siege’s first new operators since late last year were revealed yesterday. Finka and Lion are Rainbow’s resident biohazard specialists, and they’re equipped with nanobot technology and a big brother drone. Shortly after their reveal, both Finka and Lion’s loadouts were also displayed on the official Siege website. It’s extremely uncommon for a pair of operators to not be split into attack and defense, but both of these chemical-fighting badasses will be attackers....
Alongside Respawn Entertainment announcing Titanfall’s release date and Collector’s Edition early today, a new official gameplay trailer has been released. Uploaded to the official TitanfallGame YouTube channel, the 4 minute ‘trailer’ (seen above) actually appears to re-use old footage that the community has already seen.

Not to draw away from the graphics of Titanfall, but this is actually 4 minutes of gameplay footage, with in-game sounds....
Are you ready for a challenge? The original Ninja Gaiden debuted in arcades and later the NES back in 1988 and was definitely one of the pioneers of the term ‘NES Hard,’ as players tried to navigate Ryu Hayabusa through side-scrolling levels full of enemies trying to kill you. Transitioning to 3D gaming is often a major task, but Team Ninja stepped in and expertly brought the series to the modern era with Ninja Gaiden on Xbox, which spawned a full trilogy of games across multiple platforms....

The Steam store entry for Not A Hero is remarkably succinct. “Professional assassin turned amateur campaign manager Steve is charged with cleaning up the city by an anthropomorphic rabbit and mayoral candidate from the future named BunnyLord.” To its credit, Not A Hero certainly delivers on this weird and weirdly straightforward premise. The game begins in the lead-up to a mayoral election. BunnyLord tells his best friend Steve that he has traveled back from a dystopian future, and the only way to stop it is to have him elected mayor....
The official Nintendo Switch gameplay reveal trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 has finally been shown off. Fans were a little surprised to hear that Mortal Kombat 11 was announced for the Nintendo Switch.

That issue appears to be resolved, as the app is now available on Apple devices. The NBA 2K team confirmed late on September 13 that the app for Google and Apple is now live worldwide....
