Zarya - Sure to be a Fan Favorite

At PAX East, Blizzard announced Zarya and McCree to the fans. Zarya is a very solid tank with mid-range attack abilities and some great defensive specials.

PDP Breaks Down Their Mortal Kombat X Fight Pad

For pad players who are still on the fence about their controller options for Mortal Kombat X, Performance Designed Products has released a new video where they break down the features of their latest official fight pad.

Designed specifically for fighting games, this controller features the six-button setup commonly seen in other pads designed for the genre. Though it uses a non-standard layout (with R1 and L1 on the last column, instead of the more common R1 and R2), it features something other pads don’t: microwitched buttons. This gives players more tactile feedback compared to other pads, which only use rubber contacts.

Other features discussed in the video below include the new directional pad as well as the ability to switch between current or last-generation consoles.

PDP’s Mortal Kombat X fight pad is expected to be available on April 1.
