Apex Legends Causes Sales of VR Game Apex Construct to Take Off
The huge success of Apex Legends has had an interesting impact on VR title Apex Construct, as the similarity in names has caused visits to its Steam page to increase by over 4000%.
Via PC Gamer, Andreas Juliusson of Apex Construct developer Fast Travel Games took to Reddit to discuss the situation in more detail and how the launch of the free-to-play battle royale title Apex Legends, which isn't even on Steam, has affected Apex Construct, which is on Steam and costs $29.99 USD.
Mortal Kombat 11: Ronda Rousey Wrestles as Sonya Blade at WWE Elimination Chamber
Ronda Rousey seems fairly excited about taking on the role of Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 11, and she's taken that fandom a step further by dressing as the character when taking part in yesterday's WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.
The UFC Champion, Olympic medallist and WWE superstar emerged for her Raw Women's Championship match dressed as the character. It's proven a popular move, with many viewers (including our own reviewer) saying it's a better look than her traditional "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey attire.
Yoshi’s Crafted World Preview: Charming, if a Bit Too Easy
I instantly fell in love with Yoshi’s Crafted World when it was announced at E3 2017. A Yoshi-starring Nintendo platformer with a gorgeous art style and an intriguing level-flipping dynamic? Sign me up! Nintendo finally gave me the chance to play it, though only for about 20 torturously short minutes, and so far, I can confidently say that Yoshi’s new adventure will be nothing if not endlessly charming.
The hook of Yoshi’s Crafted World is that it’s a left-to-right 2D platformer that mixes in some 3D gameplay elements. Certain paths might take you to the background and others to the foreground. Sometimes you’ll need to flip cardboard doors around so that you can literally go behind the scenes. Meanwhile, coins, collectibles, or enemies are occasionally hiding behind the papercraft objects in the scene, so you’ll need to aim to throw an egg towards the camera or away from it instead of just to the sides. And most of all, of course, is that you’ll get to play levels in reverse, from the other side of the scene. I only got to experience one example of this, but I can see it (hopefully) being super compelling the deeper into the world you get.

WWE Elimination Chamber: All the Match Results
Ready for ALL the eliminations? Elimination of fear? Self-doubt? Deep-rooted sadness?
Well, we can't promise any of that, but a bunch of damn wrestlers are sure as hell going to be eliminated at WWE Elimination Chamber tonight - and the first-ever WWE Women's Tag Team Champions will be crowned! Will the titles go to Fire & Desire? The Boss & Hug Connection? Nia and Tamina? The Iiconics? All will be settled when six tag teams cram into the Chamber and duke it out for dominance.
Plus, will WWE capitalize on Kofi's amazing SmackDown Live gauntlet match showing, and the overwhelming fan support that woke from its dormancy this past week, and push him to the top? Or will the New Daniel Bryan and his Hempchampionship reign supreme? Oh, also blah blah Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Jeff Hardy. But really - Kofi and Bryan, amirite?

Nintendo recently unveiled their latest title in the Legend of Zelda series: a Nintendo Switch remake of the cherished 1993 Game Boy game Link’s Awakening, set to be released in 2019. Fans went wild, but once we finished pointing at our screens with glee and yelling obscenities, we realized we had a few questions about how this remake would unfold, what new content it could bring to the table, and what it would cost. I’m far and away the biggest Link’s Awakening fan at IGN so I figured I’d break down some questions (and potential answers) of what to expect from this incredible announcement. So let’s get into it!
