New video games this week:
"Mortal Kombat X." If you thought the long-running fighting series couldn't get any more graphic, you were mistaken!

There's also new characters such as Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage's daughter Cassie Cage and, of course, tons of extreme and gory finishing moves. Rated M for Mature. $60-$150 in Standard, Premium and Coarse Editions. For Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Windows PCs.
"Grand Theft Auto 5." The acclaimed game, which had been delayed for PC, finally arrives with lots of visual improvements, including a 60 frames-per-second graphics, enhanced damage and weather effects, new weapons, new vehicles and a first-person mode. Rated M for Mature. $60, for Windows PC.
