Even before its release, Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm
Studios has announced three characters that will be available as DLC for the
upcoming installment of its bloody fighter. In an interview with CVG, Mortal Kombat producer Hans Lo revealed the
first two “kombatants” available through DLC will be Kenshi, a character from
previous Mortal Kombat titles, and Scarlet, a new female ninja.
What’s more shocking than a Duke Nukem Forever mode that features you capturing a stripper, throwing her over your shoulder, and slapping her butt? How about Al Bundy liking women?
Duke Nuke caused fake controversy recently with the reveal of their
‘Capture the Babe’ mode. This mode is basically capture the flag, but
the flag is a stripper, and yes, she’s treated very much like an object.
This isn’t what really caused the controversy. No, treating women as a
literal object is not the cause at all. It’s the fact that you have
the option to slap her butt.
You know who doesn’t like Captain America? Communists! You know who else doesn’t like Captain America? Nazis! So, when Sega makes a Captain America video game, and only releases it for consoles, what they’re really doing is calling us PC gamers a bunch of Commie, Nazi scum! That’s why we should demand that the upcoming tie-in game to the Captain America movie be ported to PC as soon as possible.
Ah the utopian city of tomorrow! Lots of games seem to take a liking to this notion. Unfortunately, setting a game in a perfect world would be rather boring. You only get some excitement when that utopia goes horribly, HORRIBLY awry in some manner. Like, for example, the population of your perfect city ballooning to ten times what it was intended to hold. That’s what happens to the city of ARK in the year 2045, in Bethesda’s upcoming shooter Brink.
April doesn’t have many big hits but the two it has, Mortal Kombat and Portal 2, are guranteed to be humongous hits.
Michael Jackson: The Experience
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft
Release Date: April 12th
Michael Jackson: The Experience, already released on the Wii, will now finally be arriving on your Xbox 360 (and PS3 if you’re that kind of guy) console and will feature Kinect support. So you can kind of dance like Michael but not really. Not at all actually. I don’t exactly see the point in this project but maybe MJ fans will love it.
Dungeon Fighter Online (DFO),
an already established title on the PC, is
heading its way to Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) later this year. However,
unlike the PC version, you’ll have to break out your digital wallet for
it. On the PC, the title is similar to another Nexon developed game, Maple
Story, where the client is free, the gameplay is free, but you can always
pay for accessories to add to your character. Some
might be cosmetic, but others can give you stat attributes. Although it might
be tempting to gear-up your character for a few bucks, it’s not required and
you can still play without the extra threads.
Machinarium, the click-and-point adventure game from indie developer,
Amanita Design, is being released later this year on the PlayStation
Network, as well as tablet devices.
