Mortal Kombat becomes best-selling game in series history

Posted on September 15, 2011 by John Scalzo

Mortal Kombat has had a nice little run since its April release. There’s been good reviews, a good reception from the gaming public and good sales. How good? With three million copies sold worldwide, the PS3 and Xbox 360 title has become the best-selling entry in the entire Mortal Kombat series.

“All of us at NetherRealm Studios are very excited that players have embraced Mortal Kombat. The game was a labor of love for us and we could not be more pleased with its performance,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “Fan reaction to this latest installment has made all of our hard work worth it.”

So what are you waiting for Ed Boon? Bring on Mortal Kombat 10!

Ninja Gaiden 3’s TGS trailer is red all over with new details

Posted on September 15, 2011 by John Llewellyn Martin

Ninja Gaiden 3‘s “Consequence” trailer is heavy on blood and disembodied voices crying out in lamentation. We see Ryu Hayabusa grunting around in pain while gallons upon gallons of blood, explained to be the blood and hatred of all he has slain, course through his arm. I almost want to see him use it to arm-wrestle with Nightmare from the Soul Calibur series.

In addition to the trailer, a multiplayer mode was announced at a pre-TGS event, set to pit would-be ninjas online against each other with the end goal of surpassing Hayabusa. I’m going to name my ninja Lag, because we all know that lag kills (cue the crickets).

It was also announced that two “play styles”, Ninja and Hero, will be featured in Ninja Gaiden 3. “Ninja” is the traditional style and the same way you’ve been playing the game for the past few iterations, while “Hero” will allow players to auto-block and auto-dodge if they just want to focus on the narrative.

So watch Ryu get a cursed arm capable of throwing a fastball from hell in the trailer above. Ninja Gaiden 3 is due in early 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Battlefield 3 TGS trailer focuses on the vehicles of war

Posted on September 15, 2011 by John Scalzo

Japan’s aversion to first person shooters is pretty well known, so EA and DICE took a different tack when developing Battlefield 3‘s Tokyo Game Show trailer. Instead of focusing on the street level battles between soldiers like many of the American trailers do, the Tokyo Game Show trailer puts a heavy emphasis on Battlefield 3’s vehicles. Jeeps, helicopters, tanks, fighter jets… they’re all here.

So what are you waiting for? Drive up to the top of this article and check it out.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 coming January 31; new trailer released

Posted on September 15, 2011 by John Scalzo

Previously tagged with a January 2012 release window, Square Enix has gotten more specific and announced that Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be released on January 31. That’s a little over a month after the game’s Japanese release date, which is December 15. That’s a pretty quick turnaround for a Final Fantasy game, I must admit.

Something else that’s pretty is the game’s newest trailer, which was unveiled yesterday at the Tokyo Game Show. Check it out above.

Max Payne 3 gameplay trailer is sunny and superawesome

Posted on September 14, 2011 by John Scalzo

Proudly proclaiming that “This trailer was made entirely from in-game footage,” the first trailer for Max Payne 3 gives the world a first look at the gritty glitzy and grimy sunny world of Max’s new stomping grounds, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

OK, it’s a little odd seeing a Max Payne game that takes place in the daytime, but this trailer is an awesome piece of action movie candy.

Max Payne 3 will be released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in March 2012 (for real this time!).

Posted on September 14, 2011 by John Llewellyn Martin

It’s been 20 years since Sonic blurred onto the screen and into our collective gaming heart. To celebrate, Sega is releasing Sonic Generations on November 1 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A 3DS version is slated for “Late 2011.”

In Sonic Generations, players will be treated to some nostalgia as Sonic and friends go back in time and meet their younger, fresh-faced counterparts. Watch them team up to save their friends and battle whoever it was that caused this affront to the space-time continuum in beautiful HD. You’ll race through Classic and Modern stages as both versions of the Blue Blur, saving friends and fighting iconic bosses while unlocking more levels and challenges.

If you hold out for the 3DS version, you’ll be treated to exclusive content in the form of new environments, an unlockable “special stage”, a two-player Versus Mode, and the chance to collect bonuses through Street Pass.
