John Barrowman Returning for Doctor Who Holiday Special
The fan-favourite Captain, who was first introduced as a recurring guest character in Season 1 of the Doctor Who revival and ultimately fronted the show's spin-off series Torchwood, previously made a brief cameo appearance in the fifth episode of Season 12, "Fugitive of the Judoon," in which he delivered a stark warning about "the lone Cyberman" before disappearing from our screens again. In Revolution of the Daleks, Captain Jack will be on hand to help 'the fam' as they discover "a disturbing plan forming involving one of the Doctor's most feared and dangerous enemies, the Daleks." With the Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) locked away in space prison, Captain Jack will try to help save planet Earth, together with Yaz (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole), and Graham (Bradley Walsh). [caption id="attachment_2443025" align="alignnone" width="2048"] Image credit: BBC[/caption] "Putting on Jack's coat and setting foot back on the set of Doctor Who was just like going back home," Barrowman said of his return to the Whoniverse. "It's always thrilling to play Captain Jack. He's a character very close to my heart who changed my life, and to know the fans love him as much as I do makes his return even sweeter. I hope everyone enjoys Jack's Heroic adventure with Thirteen." Doctor Who executive producer Chris Chibnall also expressed his excitement over Barrowman's return. "A Doctor Who Festive Special means treats galore, and there's no bigger treat than the return of John Barrowman to Doctor Who, for an epic and emotional feature-length episode," he declared in his statement. "If anyone can blast away the sheer rubbishness of 2020, it's Captain Jack. Daleks beware!"

Mortal Kombat 11: Skins Based On The 1995 Movie Teased
It's not clear when these new skins will arrive in-game, but it's a nice touch for fans of the cult classic movie, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson of 2002's Resident Evil and the upcoming Monster Hunter movie. A Reddit leak from a few months ago teased that the aforementioned actors may return to lend their voice to the game, suggesting a fully-fledged Mortal Kombat movie pack is on the way. Back in October, Mortal Kombat 11 added Rambo as DLC and revealed that the game was coming to the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S. We reviewed Mortal Kombat 11 upon release, scoring it a 9 and calling it "the best game in the 27-year-old series."

Fuser Review
I've never really been a musician. When I was in middle school, I took the trumpet. In high school, I took guitar lessons. But I was never dedicated enough to the craft and I dropped both after a couple of years. Making music, even just for fun, was a prospect I left behind a long time ago. So I'm surprised by how inspired I was by Fuser, Harmonix' new musical mash-up making game. While it has a score-based story mode similar to the studio's past games, Fuser actually empowers you to be creative and make music from parts of songs you may already know. The core mechanic, switching tracks in and out to make music, is easy to use and wonderful to play with. The game Harmonix built on top of that core idea, however, doesn't always take advantage of it effectively. As a result, Fuser is better at spurring you to be creative than it is at challenging you. That may sound like a daunting, niche experience, but no game's made it easier to feel good about getting creative.
Fuser rides a vanishing line between music game and music-making toolkit. As a mash-up DJ, you create music by blending (or fusing) parts of songs together to make a new and often dancier version of your own. Each of the 80-plus songs in the base game's library, plus a growing supplemental library of DLC songs, is broken down into four color-coded instrumental tracks, which you can switch in and out on the fly, changing the song as you go. You can play the drums from "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against The Machine, the guitar from "Jolene" by Dolly Parton, the trumpets from "Bring ‘Em Out" by T.I., and the lyrics of Sean Paul's "Temperature," and they'll all cohere into one brand new sample. Your set is an evolving compilation of combinations.
The music you use spans decades and genres far beyond what you might expect from a game about DJing at a music festival. The tracklist spans pop, rock, country, dance, hip-hop, R&B, and Latin/Caribbe music from the 1960s through 2020. As with Rock Band, there's a nostalgia that draws you in, but you quickly cultivate a new and surprisingly deep relationship with specific tracks that you may not have had before. I found myself growing to enjoy songs I knew but didn't really love before, and staying away from some songs I like, but don't fit in with the songs I like using most. Everybody I know Guitar Hero or Rock Band has a song they know and like from playing those games. The same thing happens here.
