I am super fucking pumped about this game, and I have been arguing all weekend with my friend about it. He likes how the last few were, completely free 3D movement and sidestepping. He also liked how they could change weapons and stances. We both played the demo, he just wasn’t impressed. My defence was pretty much all the hype and buzz around the game. The most I was pumped about going back 2Dish side scroller.

The environments are straight out of the first two original games and look fantastic. The combat is good and feel natural, combos flow nicely, and contributes to a special meter. This special meter has three bars to fill, the first is a combo breaker, the second is a enhanced special attack, and the third is a special combo called a X Ray move. This is fucking cool, as the name suggest, as you do powerful attacks in your combo, you see bones breaking and organs rupture. At the end of a round the fighter looks really beat up and at the end of a fight, one of the fighters is not getting up. The fatalities are fucking insane and must guarantee a solid Mature rating. Multiplayer has a few options, there is tag team mode. Tag teaming has a cool way of having one player start a combo with one player and end it with another. Also there is online multiplayer, I heard of a few game moods, but one caught my attention. That was some sort of round robin style tournament, some what of a fight club feel. A group of players watch two others fight it out and after someone fights the winner. It reminds me of friends at home passing around controllers and calling “next”. NetherRealm said they worked hard on the game’s online gameplay and I hope it shows. Mortal Kombat is a must have for any fan of the series and still holds up for a newbie. Make sure to get this one.
SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy Seals (PS3)Developers: Zipper Interactive
Publishers: Sony Computer Entertainment
April 19th 2011
I am pretty excited for SOCOM 4, I have been playing the multiplayer beta for the last few weeks and I wasn’t very impressed, but it was fun and entertaining. I did enjoy it, but it was too much like a third person version of MAG. It was pretty much a facelift on MAG, but still a solid game. I was playing a lot of Black Ops before and the third person was a good change of pace and the added cover and shooting techniques were great. I was fucking terrible at this game though, the different zooming modes confused me. Handling the camera I thought was difficult, and the fact that, the players names shrunk down to a diamond when they got far enough away. The screennames period, got in the way, but this was a Beta test, right? I am sure they have fixed plenty. Using cover and combat game tactics to get multi kills is almost, more satisfying then Call of Duty. Using the Playstation Move was weird but not too bad, I am sure it would be kick ass with the Playstation Sharpshooter. SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy Seals is almost a must buy.

A compilation game consisting of remakes of Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. “Interlude” is sort of a short episode linking the two games together. I loved Final Fantasy IV, or was it Final Fantasy II….wait…or was it Final Fantasy III or wasn’t that really Final Fantasy VI. Fuck Final Fantasy is confusing.
Prince of Persia Classic Trilogy HD (PS3)
Developers: Ubisoft Montreal
Publishers: Ubisoft
April 19th 2011
Get all three Prince of Persia games in one! I never really liked the Prince of Persia series, seemed liked a watered down version of God of War. I do have respect for Prince of Persia though, it is a good game. It’s a spin off of 1989 Apple 2 game of the same name. I would consider picking this one up if it was a good price, the fans must be stoked.
Portal 2 (PS3/ Xbox 360)
Developers: Valve Corporation
Publishers: Value Corporation
April 19th 2011
I heard lots about Portal, don’t know why I never played it. I am sure the squeal will be talked about just as much. Portal 2 adds more features to this highly acclaimed platformer. Plus, the smartest move they made in this squeal was making the heroine less clothed and thus sexier.
Conduit 2 (Wii)
Developers: High Voltage Software
Publishers: SEGA
April 19th 2011
A first person shooter for Wii, I am kind of intrigued for this one. I am not much of a Wii player and never played The Conduit. So I can’t say much about the squeal Conduit 2. I am thinking about finding a cheap Wii somewhere but I can’t actually see myself paying full price for a new Wii game.
The Kore Gang (Wii)
Developers: Zionk Games, Unique Development Studio, SnapDragon Games
Publishers: Pixonauts, Games Foundation, Atari
April 19th 2011
Apparently this game has been passed around from publishers and developers for roughly ten years. Originally The Kore Gang was set for the X box in 2003. That is quite a delay, I hope in eight years they put a shit ton of work into it. The gimmick of this game is that you can change between the three antagonists to use different abilities. This is the key to solving puzzles in this jump and run action adventure game. By the general look of this game, it might fly beneath my radar.
Section 8: Prejudice (X box Live Arcade)
Developers: TimeGate Studios
Publishers: TimeGate Studios
April 20th 2011
Section 8 is a first person shooter using the unreal engine. Of course, Section 8: Prejudice is the squeal. Unlike the first, Prejudice will be a download-only and promises to have more content then the first. I don’t fully understand this concept, but ok, sure. An Playstation Network version will be coming out this summer.
I wanted to add the rest of the game covers, but blogger was being difficult with picture placement. That is also why all the Mortal Kombat pictures are bunched together.
