A true work of art is probably the best description to what we saw at E3 2010. Epic Mickey was hands down a beauty to look at and came with creative gameplay. Today, Toys R’ US has revealed the Epic Mickey Collector’s Edition Bundle that will also make use of the Wii’s Wi-Fi capabilities for something. Could it be Co-Op?

Looks like Cliffy B has taken advantage of Twitter’s latest addition, ‘rapper 50 Cent’ to promote Gears of War 3. In a tweet to 50 Cent, Cliffy B invites 50 cent and DJ Whookid to NC, for some Gears of War 3 action and tells 50, that he will chainsaw his ass in half. Cliffy B (design director for the ‘Gears of War series’) sure knows how to promote, and it seems as if he is very confident that Gears 3 is ready to be played by celebrities. (more…)

With so many first person shooters out on the market, it is difficult to pass up on decent ones, especially if you are a fan of the genre. Blacklight: Tango Down is another option to get your shooter fix, at an affordable price.
Gameplay /Story: When you first fire the game up, you will enter a “Combat Zone” where you will find private and public matches. Next is the Black Ops missions, you can either play solo or kill the enemies with your friends. In Black Ops you can’t figure out if it’s the main campaign or if it’s just another random mission that you play with your buddies. When you start the mission you are placed right in front of the action with only objectives needed to accomplish to proceed to the next round. This area of the combat zone lacks storyline and lacks clues to what is happening around this over-run and destroyed city. You will have to go to the “How to Play” section to find out what your purpose in the game is. (more…)
Ever since the announcement of Mass Effect making it’s way to the PS3, there have been many opinions, on why it should be on the PS3 or why it shouldn’t be on the PS3. Microsoft fans want to keep Mass Effect as an exclusive, while PS3 gamers want not only Mass Effect 2, but also Mass Effect 1. But forget every other reason out there, we are here to back up Mass Effect 2 for one reason and one reason only. (more…)
The first Mortal Kombat game immediately captured the attention of Arcade gamers and the majority of their quarters back in 1992. Now almost eighteen years later, gamers are still hooked but this time, their consoles are the destination for the latest epic installment of the Mortal Kombat series. With so much competition for your money in the fighting genre, is choosing your destiny one more time in Mortal Kombat really worth the price?
At Gamescom 2010, Producer Hector Sanchez released new details about the ninth version Mortal Kombat and confirmed the series’ return to it’s bloody roots. Still that doesn’t mean there won’t be new additions. Just look at the HD trailer and you will quickly see this is not the same game you bought years ago. While the list of characters has grown tremendously, their respective styles started to overlap and it became overly ridiculous with multiple ninja types, multiple robots, and even several female characters sharing the same costume.
But this game is going to strive to make each character different…most likely in the area of fighting of course. We’ll see more customized fatalities, weapons, and perhaps even some dramatic costume overhauls. But is that really enough to tear us away from the likes of Marvel vs Capcom 3, Tekken X Street Fighter, or any other modern day fighter?
The promise of faster game play is not original nor does it do anything to enhance the feeling of nostalgia. Perhaps it will excite experienced fighting gamers but will that carry over to the average gamer and more importantly newcomers to the series?
An aggressive pricing of $39.99 would definitely help many throw caution to the wind but where is the innovation? Fatalities are great and humorous additions like Babalities and Friendships changed things up. Will we see mini games like Test Your Might, Motor Kombat, and Kombat Chess all return to help this game pack enough punch to fight for our attention? It would be nice to have all these things instead of seeing each of them fade with each new game. Just imagine a Mortal Kombat game with everything you have seen from the past eighteen years. Even a $60 price might be justified at that point. But the question still looms…would you pay it?
Do you think Mortal Kombat is moving in the right direction? What would you like to see in the next installment?
