For those with large hands, playing the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode can be a pain. The Hori Split Pad Pro replaces the Joy-Con, giving the console or more traditional feel.

System Reaction’s co-op dinosaur shooter will finally be coming to Xbox Game Preview for Xbox One and Xbox Series X in Spring. Having already launched on Steam Early Access in October, Second Extinction throws teams of three players into a map where they have to hunt down dinosaurs that have resurfaced on the planet and have also undergone massive mutations.

Some dinosaurs have evolved to cover their bodies in thick plates of armor, others can spit acid at players, and some of these ancient beasts can even generate deadly blasts of bio-electricity when backed into a corner. Whichever beast you face, just know that they’re all clever girls.

Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood have come forward to say there was no rivalry between the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings movies, despite reports saying the productions of the two blockbuster giants were contentious to some degree.

In Empire Magazine’s 20th anniversary interview with Radcliffe and Wood, both stars said that–at least from their perspective–there was no beef.

Wood said, “Certainly from our standpoint, no. It was just admiration of another significant saga that was being made concurrently by incredible filmmakers with an amazing cast.”

HBO Max has ordered a series based on an original concept by J.J. Abrams, with Jennifer Yale (Legion, Dexter) attached as showrunner. The title is a play on words, with the plot following a college student taking part as a subject in a clinical trial.

The show is set to be produced by J.J. Abrams’ company Bad Robot in association with Warner Bros. TV, with Bad Robot’s Ben Stephenson and Rachel Rusch Rich attached as executive producer and co-executive producer respectively.

There’s a new Mortal Kombat movie on the horizon for the first time in almost 25 years, and fans are anxious to see how it’ll turn out. While the original 1995 movie got mixed reactions from critics, it was a blockbuster hit that fans loved, so we’ve compared some of its iconic characters, moments, and special moves with the upcoming film.

The footage is taken from the first trailer for the new Mortal Kombat, which was officially released a little earlier than planned due to a version of the trailer being leaked. Some of the scenes mirror moments from the 1995 film surprisingly closely–though the new film is set to include much more blood and gore thanks to its R-rating.

The video compares how both movies have interpreted some of the franchise’s most iconic characters including Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. Antagonist Shang Tsung is shown to be a little more subdued in the new version, while four-armed Goro has benefited a lot from 25 years of improvements in CGI.
