Injustice: Gods Among Us gets a new trailer and an April 2013 release date
Just in time for the Tokyo Game Show, Warner Bros. Games and developer NetherRealm Studios have released the latest trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us.
This DC Comics-derived fighting game brings together Batman, Superman, Catwoman, Nightwing, Harley Quinn, and more in a cataclysmic fight to the death, much like NetherRealm’s last game, the rebooted Mortal Kombat.
Injustice: Gods Among Us will be released for the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U in April 2013, exactly two years after Mortal Kombat first graced store shelves.
Okami HD comes to PSN on October 30
Are you still waiting patiently for Okami HD to be added to the PlayStation Store. Well, your wait is almost over.
Yesterday, Capcom announced that the game will be available to download exclusively from the PSN on October 30. For just $19.99, players will get the PS2/Wii classic along with Trophy support, 1080p high definition graphics, and Move support.
And be sure to check out the brand new Tokyo Game Show trailer above.
Square Enix bringing Kingdom Hearts HD Remix to PS3 in Japan
Square Enix just announced a Kingdom Hearts HD collection at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, but it’s not what you think. Titled Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, the compilation will pull together HD versions of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix (the only-in-Japan “Director’s Cut” of the first game) and the two “bridge” games that followed, Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix will be released in 2013 exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and, right now, the game has only been announced for the Japanese market. Hopefully, Square Enix will realize that American PS3 players love HD remakes as well.

Complete Midway Arcade Origins game list revealed
The Verge has gotten their hands on the complete game list for this November’s Midway Arcade Origins. It looks like we can all rest easy as Smash TV has made the cut along with 30 other games. This collection just went from a “maybe” to a “must buy!”
Here’s all 31 games that will be included in the compilation, which will be available in stores for the PS3 and Xbox 360:

Activision will release a full Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies trailer on September 26
I assume you read the headline, but if not, here it is again. Activision will release a full-length trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops II‘s Zombies mode on September 26. You can check out a teaser trailer for the trailer (complete with a zombie bus) above.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be released for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on November 13. A Wii U version will be released a few days later on November 18.
Midway Arcade Origins brings 30 arcade classics to PS3, Xbox 360
Warner Bros. Games has finally decided to tap into the massive Midway back catalog they acquired in 2009 with a new compilation titled Midway Arcade Origins. The collection is being developed by Backbone Entertainment (but then, aren’t they all?) for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and will be released in November with a retail price of $29.99.
Midway Arcade Origins will include 30 games from the company’s heyday including Gauntlet, Rampage, Joust, Spy Hunter, Defender, and Marble Madness. A similar package, titled Midway Arcade Treasures, was released for the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox in 2003. That collection included the six aforementioned games as well as Sinistar, Root Beer Tapper, Smash TV, Robotron 2084, Paperboy, and many others. Coincidentally, it was also developed by Backbone Entertainment, so I’d expect a similar set of games to be included in Midway Arcade Origins.
Each arcade title will include Achievement/Trophy support and local multiplayer options along with online leaderboards.

Sony announces an even slimmer PS3 and Uncharted 3 GOTY bundle
As expected (by pretty much everyone), Sony has announced an even smaller and slimmer PlayStation 3 system at a pre-Tokyo Game Show event. The new rendition of the console looks very similar to the current PS3 Slim, but it now sports a ridged top. While retaining the same shape, the system itself is approximately 20% smaller and 25% lighter than the current PS3.
The new PS3 will be available on September 25 as part of an Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – Game of the Year Edition bundle. Priced at $269.99, it will include a 250GB hard drive and a voucher for more than $30 worth of bonus digital content to the free-to-play title Dust 514.
IF you already own a PS3 and are just interested in purchasing the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – Game of the Year Edition, it’ll also be available on September 25 for a retail price of $39.99.
The even slimmer PS3 will also be available as part of an Assassin’s Creed III bundle on October 30. That package will include a 500GB hard drive and four exclusive Assassin’s Creed III levels.

Borderlands 2, Jet Set Radio, SSX, F1 2012, more added to PS Store
I guess Sony is definitely serious with this “PS3 Full Games” thing as they added two games to the PlayStation Store yesterday on the same day the disc-based versions were released. For all shooting and looting needs, Borderlands 2 is now available to download. And for all your open-wheel racing needs, there’s F1 2012.
Also available this week is the extreme snowboarding of SSX (the PS3 reboot, not the PS2 Classic), the extreme rollerblading of Jet Set Radio, and the extreme running of Feisty Feet. I’m sensing a theme Sony.
Hit the jump for all the details on these games (along with a few others) and hit up the PlayStation Blog for a complete list of this week’s new game add-ons and demos (including a demo of Resident Evil 6). (more…)
