Game after game he continued to perfect his craft, and although others eventually joined the sound development team his influence remained front and centre. Wednesday was…

Take a trip down memory lane back to 1995 and you’d be hard pressed to forget the success that was the original Mortal Kombat movie. While video game movies largely receive negative reviews, Mortal Kombat became an instant classic, ageing like fine wine with its strong cast and unforgettable one-liners.

Fast forward, however, and the future looks bright with the release of 2021’s Mortal Kombat reboot a little over…
