Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition screens pound you into submission

By Adam Rosenberg Published March 7, 2014

DrinkBox Studios made a helluva game with its sharp-looking, 2013 PlayStation 3/PlayStation Vita action-platformer, Guacamelee! It follows a Mexican agave farmer who discovers a magical mask that transforms him into a powerful luchador, conveniently empowering him in time to rescue the kidnapped daughter of El Presidente from an evil skeleton named Carlos Calaca. It’s fun, funny, and infernally challenging (but in an extremely rewarding way). Play it if you haven’t.

What’s that? You don’t have a PS3 or Vita? You can’t play it on your Linux, Mac, or Windows computer (it was released for all of those as well)? Don’t worry! There’s a Super Turbo Championship Edition coming later in 2014 for PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. One way or another, you’ll be able to play. With extra content too, as we learned earlier this week.

Check out these sweet screens, amigos.

GTA 6’s production budget sounds so astronomical you will have a hard time believing it

GTA 6 could cost more than entire movie franchises

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been slow-cooking in Rockstar Games' kitchen for a long while now. But after a decade of building one of the most hyped video games of all time, the expenses are adding up.

In a new Business Insider profile of Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, the company boss declined to say exactly how much GTA 6 has cost. His only confirmation was that “it was expensive.” However, analysts are estimating the total bill could land somewhere between $1 billion and $1.5 billion.

Mortal Kombat isn’t done ripping spines out yet

NetherRealm is already pursuing another Mortal Kombat game, even as other franchise projects take shape.

Mortal Kombat 1 won’t be NetherRealm’s last trip into the arena. After the 2023 reboot, Ed Boon said in a Collider interview that the team is "definitely pursuing another Mortal Kombat game," giving players the clearest sign yet that the series remains active.

NetherRealm has confirmed direction while leaving the reveal details blank. It hasn’t shared a title, launch window, platforms, roster details, or story direction. The next Mortal Kombat game is real enough to discuss, but not ready enough to show.

The Desktop Paradox: I finally understand why gamers hesitate before going OLED

It’s not the price, it’s not the hype, it’s that one tiny fear you can’t ignore.

The year is 2026, and the OLED revolution has officially landed on our desks. Not just in flashy ads or YouTube thumbnails, but right there in your shopping cart. You’ve probably hovered over that “Buy Now” button at least once, stared at the price, imagined your setup glowing like a dream… and then quietly closed the tab.

Because here’s the thing. Everyone agrees OLED is the best display tech out there. It’s the holy grail. It’s what makes TVs look unreal, and smartphones feel premium. Deep blacks, insane contrast, instant response times. It’s the stuff gamers brag about. And yet, for something so perfect, it’s surprisingly missing from a lot of desks.
