The game's intro is embedded after the jump. It...

We love it when games try to give gameplay completely barren of plot a story
In Mortal Kombat you punch people, and rip their head off, and breath fire on them. That's all there is to it. And it's awesome. Is there really need to concoct some kind of revenge story involving clans and melodrama? NetherRealm thinks so.

While a novel addition in the days before MAG, Resistance 2's 60-player multiplayer was admittedly a bit of a mess

We've tried MAG with the PlayStation Move controller and it's surprisingly good fun
We're not sure personally whether playing the game with Sony's glowing wand would be our preferred method, but it's nice to have the option there. And that's not to say it's not accurate enough for competitive play because it is - we know of plenty of people who've...
News Thank Goodness For LittleBigPlanet And Its Army Of Creators
Of all the things we've posted about LittleBigPlanet 2, this is by far our favourite
thatgamecompany's indie PSN hit, flower, narrowly missed out on our game of the year award last year. Now it's been re-created within the LittleBigPlanet 2 beta. It's important to stress that LBP2 is still in beta mode. The fact that people are making content like...

News There's A Fair Dose Of Punching In This Captain America: Super Soldier Trailer
Punching people
Sometimes that's an enjoyable mechanic in video games. Going by this debut trailer, Captain: America: Super Soldier appears to have plenty of it. If SEGA can make that punching fun and not repetitive, Super Soldier could be a success. What are the chances though?

Cole McGrath's gone through some changes
Apparently Sucker Punch just can't seem to satisfy their fan-base with inFamous 2's protagonist. Here's the issue: the most berated portion of the original inFamous was its protagonist. As much as we loved the game - Cole was rubbish. So Sucker Punch changed him. But people couldn't deal with the continuity...
News Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII Look Pretty Darn Rad
Square Enix has been in a tussle with YouTube all day trying to pull these Fabula Nova Crystallis trailers that debuted at TGS last month

News Heroes On The Move Renamed To The Spectacularly Rubbish "PlayStation Move Heroes"
Sigh
Of all the things PlayStation Move has going for it, catchy software titles are not one of them. We already have Start The Party, The Shoot and The Fight. By those standards, PlayStation Move's mascot mash-up title Heroes On The Move had an incredible name. The key being the past-tense. Ahead of this weekend's New York Comic-Con, Nihilistic...
News It's Kinda Hard Not To Get Excited By This Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Trailer
Even if you're too cool to think so, Star Wars is great
It just is. We wouldn't call ourselves huge Star Wars fans, we're not. But virtually everyone has a reverence for the franchise, don't they? Mainly because it's a bit brilliant. As such, it's hard not to get excited by trailers for The Force Unleashed. Sure, the original game was a bit rubbish,...
If you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber in the US, you'll now be able to jump into the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer beta
Us European folks have been playing it for a while, and we've gotten pretty good at stabbing people in the back — so just be careful out there guys.
First Impressions SOCOM: Special Forces on PlayStation 3
When we think of SOCOM, we don't necessarily think of a graphical power-house
But SOCOM: Special Forces is surprising in that regard. All credit to Zipper Interactive, they've crafted something technically stunning with their latest title. This is a different kind of SOCOM game. It conforms somewhat to the requirements of a modern-day third-person...
