Mortal Kombat kratos gameplay trailer
NetherRealms released a new gameplay trailer of Kratos in action doing what he does best. He looks right at home with blood on his face and the moves that will satisfy any Mortal Kombat fan.
The video shows ton of special moves, Kratos' X-Ray move and  God of War's famous quick-time events which is a good touch.
Kratos will be playable exclusively for the Playstation 3 version of Mortal Kombat when it comes out on April 19, 2011.

Someone already lined up for the 3DS in the US!?
The Nintendo 3DS is coming out on march 27, 2011 in the US and we have an avid Nintendo fan already lined up almost a week in advance. If that's not loyalty and dedication, I don't know what is. But seriously?? 1 week in advance?!
This guy started lining up Monday with a buddy so they will be there all week fighting the cold in front of a Best Buy. It's apparently his tradition. He's done it in all Nintendo system launches and he just wants to keep the tradition alive. At the same time, he's looking forward for a chance to get free stuff for being in the first batch of buyers.
I know we all here love video games but is it worth spending your whole week for being first in line which you have already paid for??

Mortal Kombat in 5 Minutes (or something like that)
"Pose for the family picture"
With the new Mortal Kombat game just around the corner I'm sure you've all thought "is this a reboot?" or "is it a sequel"? Well it's kind of both. If you can't make sense of that then thank the elder gods that IGN has come up with a short video summarizing the stories of all previous Mortal Kombat games leading up to this point.
Basically it IS a reboot and it IS canon. FIGHT!

River City Ransom 2 in the works
One of the all-time classics, especially in the beat-em-up genre, River City Ransom is getting a long belated sequel. 20 years in the making, River City Ransom 2 is being developed by Miracle Kidz, the studio which houses most of the original’s developers. The game is expected to release on console sometime this summer in Japan, with a PC release coming next year. No word yet on any game details or specific consoles, but another of Miracle Kidz retro-style games (Downtown Smash Dodgeball) is on the Xbox Live Arcade and Wii Ware, leading most to believe such platforms are equally likely for River City Ransom 2.

Kinect hacked to work with PlayStation 3, plays Killzone 3 badly
Microsoft's Kinect, the fastest-selling gadget ever, has now been hacked to work with the PlayStation 3.
The Kinect isn't directly plugged into a PS3, though (that would be too awesome). Instead, it's plugged into a conventional PC laptop, where PrimeSense's first-party drivers are used to interface with Kinect. The data from Kinect is then converted into a format that the PS3 can understand, and output directly to the console using using diyps3controller, which lets the laptop USB controller interface with the PS3.
There's a video of the developer logging in and playing Killzone 3 on his PS3 using the Kinect after the break. Well, attempting to play Killzon 3, we should say. It seems like the hack has a little way to go before it's actually usable...
