Cassie Cage, a new fighter in the Mortal Kombat ring and the daughter of Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage (surely Sonya could have done better for herself), has a move where she punches a guy between the legs so hard that his testicles explode. And Mortal Kombat X is kind…

Once of Square Enix’s “lesser” franchises, Star Ocean has provided some truly epic experiences over the years. Mixing fantasy and sci-fi elements together, and focusing on a strategic action combat system, the series has developed a relatively small, but very dedicated following.

The first thing that came to when I picked up the Mortal Kombat X Fight Pad by PDP was this: “Well this sure feels different.” I mean that in a good way, however. Certainly everyone has their favourite controllers for different reasons, but I think most fight fans can agree…
