Limbo, Red Dead Redemption lead 2011 Game Developers Choice nominees
The nominees for the 2011 Game Developers Choice Awards, which will be handed out on March 2 during the Game Developers Conference, have been announced.
The monochromatic XBLA puzzle-platformer Limbo took seven nominations, more than any other game. But Rockstar’s cowboy opus Red Dead Redeption was close behind with six while BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 received five.
Other big nominees include God of War III, Heavy Rain and Minecraft, all of which received three nominations. Minecraft’s inclusion among the nominees marks the first time a game has received a GDC Award nomination and was selected as a finalist in the Independent Games Festival.

FEAR 3 runs away from March release date
FEAR 3 has already scared away several release dates during its development and it looks like the game won’t be released on March 22 either. Instead, the game will make its way to stores sometime in May.
The news of the delay comes from FEAR_Tot, an administrator on the official FEAR forums:
The F.E.A.R. 3 launch date will now be in May 2011, as we look to deliver the best possible game for our fans.
Thanks for the patience, I promise it will be worth it.
So basically, he’s saying don’t fear the delay, the game will still be great.
Battlefield 3 to be unveiled at GDC
When Electronic Arts released a Limited Edition of Medal of Honor last year, the box included a multiplayer beta invite for the upcoming Battlefield 3. While technically unannounced at the time, the publisher plans to lift the lid on the third game in the Battlefield series during a March 1st event at this year’s Game Developers Conference.
Besides Battlefield 3, the entire all of EA Partners’ 2011 releases will be on hand at the show including Spicy Horse’s Alice: Madness Returns, Easy Studios’ Battlefield Play4Free, Crytek’s Crysis 2, 38 Studios’ Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning and Grasshopper Manufacture’s Shadows of the Damned.

Goro, Jade added to Mortal Kombat roster
Game Informer’s February 2011 issue keeps the hits coming as the magazine has konfirmed (via Mortal Kombat Online) that Goro and Jade will be appearing in this April’s Mortal Kombat reboot.
Goro is the four-armed giant you see to your left. He also served as the sub-boss of the original Mortal Kombat arcade game and has become a fan favorite over the years thanks to his rivalry with Johnny Cage. According to Mortal Kombat kreator Ed Book, Goro’s role in the upcoming game will once again be as a boss. And as of right now, it doesn’t sound like he’ll be a playable character.
On the other hand, we have Jade (the green counterpart to Kitana and Mileena), who was also revealed by Game Informer. The magazine depicts her wielding her boomerang weapon and looking awesome doing it in a costume that looks like a mashup of her Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat: Deception threads.

NetherRealm spends a “Night Out With Mileena” in new Mortal Kombat trailer
“What would you do on a night out with Mileena?”
This question was recently posed to the developers of Mortal Kombat at NetherRealm Studios and this new trailer proves that they know how to show a girl a good time. Especially a girl with razor sharp fangs and demonic blood flowing through her veins.
In addition to getting an inside look at the twisted minds that make Mortal Kombat, the trailer features plenty of gameplay footage of Mileena doing what she does best. NetherRealm has really played up the demonic angle to the character for the upcoming reboot and you can expect lots of blood and lots of boobage from Mileena.
April (when Mortal Kombat is released on the PS3 and Xbox 360) can’t come soon enough.

Pitch a perfect game in Major League Baseball 2K11, win $1 million
How do you usually get ready for the baseball season? Do you pick up a sports game, say the MLB 2K series? How would a million dollars sound to get you set for the season? 2K Sports is once again rewarding $1,000,000 to the first player to pitch a perfect game in Major League Baseball 2K11. Well, the award will go to first player to do so after MLB opening day, April 1, 2011. Players will have a little less than a month to prepare for the challenge following the March 8 release date of the game. The perfect pitch theme seems to have also translated into the cover art, as Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies is one of only 20 players in baseball history to pitch a perfect game (and one of the few to pitch multiple no-hitters in a single season).
Despite fierce competition in the genre from the MLB The Show series, you have to admit, this is a pretty tough offer to turn down.
