review - mortal kombat

Mortal Kombat
NetherRealm Studios
Warner Brothers Intereactive Entertainment

For the last 9 years, I feel like the Mortal Kombat series has been hindered in the 3D realm. Last generation's hardware held back the series from being something truly great. The 3D-style movement wasn't a bad addition to the series, but it never really felt like "Mortal Kombat" to me. To top it all off, the series' first next gen release was so censored and toned down that I can't even consider it a true Mortal Kombat game.

Insect annihilating is back as D3 Publisher is about to release the newest game in it's third-person shooter series Earth Defense Force. And it looks to be the best one yet!

impressions - mortal kombat

Damn it feels good to be back in 2D! I didn't necessarily dislike the last 4 Mortal Kombat games (Deadly Alliance - MK vs DC Universe), but I found myself playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 more often. There's just something about the original MK formula that just didn't translate well to 3D gameplay. But when I saw that first trailer for the newest Mortal Kombat, my heart stopped. Finally, a revisit to what made the series great to begin with.

impressions - motorstorm apocalypse

I wasn't really sure to expect when I found out that the newest Motorstorm was going to take place in a post-apocalyptic city. The last two PS3 titles were so beautiful and rich with color and vegetation. All the screen shots for Apocalypse just looked so dull and dreary, I couldn't imagine it holding up to the others. I was wrong. So very wrong.

impressions - skarlet DLC

Mortal Kombat's first DLC character was released today. 'Skarlet' is an all new character to the series, though originally thought to have been a hidden character in Mortal Kombat II because of a glitch in the game that colored one of the female ninjas red.

Story-wise, Skarlet is a creation of Shao Kahn. A warrior created from the blood of his enemies, fused together by sorcery. Skarlet draws power and strength from the blood of her defeated enemies. Skarlet is a blood ninja, and it definitely shows.

hands on - ninja gaiden 3 @ E3 2011

He's back and more violent than ever. I got a chance to taste test Ninja Gaiden 3 last week at E3, and I must say, it was fairly delicious.

The newest expansion for Call of Duty: Black Ops has just been announced. "Annihilation" will include 4 new multiplayer maps: Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo, and Hazard. As well as a new zombies map, Shagri-La. Once again the content will be available on 360 first on June 28. Everyone else will have available about a month later. With PS3 owners only recently being able to download the Escalation pack, I'm sure the wait won't be too long.

news - playstation store is back up!

Well there goes my paycheck... After a month long hiatus, SONY has finally restored service to its Playstation Store. As far as new content goes, there's not much at the moment and no sign of the "Welcome Back" content, but that's likely to change over the next few days. There have been many people having troubles with getting error messages, myself included, but its likely the result of traffic overload. Just keep signing back in, you'll access it after a couple of tries.

Anything you're looking forward to picking up? I'm still waiting on my Beyond Good & Evil HD and Mortal Kombat DLC.
