Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Review

Oct 30, 2025

When Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection was announced, I was excited. It had been over a decade since the last time these games saw the light of day with the release of Mortal Kombat HD Kollection which I reviewed back in 2011, but those were problematic releases plagued with online latency, input delay, and poor sound emulation. This new collection was going to be done by Digital Eclipse who had just come off the fantastic Atari 50 and The Making of Karateka, both collections which I enjoyed and felt set a high bar as definitive collections for those respective set of games. This new collection includes the staples which have been previously released– Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the Arcade. But goes beyond previous collections by going deeper into the library and also includes hours of new documentary footage. There is a solid foundation here with the essential games that you would expect, and emulated at a much higher quality than previous releases. However, barebone launch features and missed opportunities hold it back compared to modern collections like Capcom Fighting Collection 2.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind Review

Dec 09, 2024

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind does for “Power Rangers” what Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge did for “Ninja Turtles” a couple of years ago. And that’s to make a side-scrolling beat’em up that evokes nostalgia but is made entirely new. I’m a massive Power Rangers fan, and have been for its entire 30-year run. The quality of games made for this franchise have not been good or anything anyone was wanting since the 90s. It’s good then that Digital Eclipse has made a “Power Rangers” game by “Power Rangers” fans for “Power Ranger” fans, and it shows. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is what dreams are made of, but it’s much better and more exciting in reality.

Tetris Forever Review

Nov 22, 2024

Tetris Forever is a time machine disguised as a puzzle experience, all thanks to Digital Eclipse. The block-dropping and stacking game series is a video game staple. It’s something everyone has played at least once in their life, even if they’re not a “gamer”. Digital Eclipse makes this digital museum a place where you watch, learn, and play through gaming history’s most interesting series. There are over a dozen games to play, to include an original game from Digital Eclipse called Tetris Time Warp that make it just worth it, even if there are some glaring omissions.
