Leaked trailer for Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm
A 45 second trailer just hit YouTube, it makes you wonder how hard it is to hide such info in a big company like Blizzard. Maybe they do it on purpose? we will never know, but at least its out there for us to enjoy. The teaser trailer looks complete in detail so go ahead and get pumped for the expansion of one of the best Real Time Strategy game out there.

Weekend, what are you playing?
It's Memorial Day weekend for some of you out there in North America so that means a long weekend and that also means more uninterrupted game hours. As for everyone else, I'm sure you'll squeeze as much game time as possible in these two very short days. So, what are you playing?
Migoy: My weekend gaming kicked off with some Shaolin Kung Fu action in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. I chose Kung Lao first cause he has a badass hat and Liu Kang's voice annoys me to no end. I will be streaming it live over at http://www.justin.tv/acicon so hop in to chat there and watch me kill some fools.

Arlie: I finally got the Platinum trophy for L.A. Noire few days ago, man it was hard to find all those vehicles because they all look alike. Just got my copy of Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds yesterday and wow, I really liked this game the first time I played it. I should've bought this game when it was launched. It didn't matter if I suck at it and lose at ALL of my online fights, as long as I enjoy playing it. Online trophy boost, anyone? LOL. I'm also playing Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition for the PS3. I only played this game on the PC before but never got to finish it. I'm playing it on hardest difficulty to get the plat in one playthrough, this is also a preparation for the next game, Batman: Arkham City which is due on October. I'm still looking for a decent capture card, one with composite AV so I could broadcast while playing in HD. I don't want to play on a 46" HDTV with RCA cables.
Quash: Just arrived from a vacation in Boracay and decided to do some trophy hunting. Going to platinum LA Noire on my PS3 and also finally plat Red Dead Redemption(multiplayer trophies are left). It's all about those virtual achievements for me this weekend, Will also try to get Killzone 3's plat since I'm 80% done.
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
I looked up fatality compilations of various characters from Mortal Kombat. As I came across a video showing off all of Liu Kang's fatalities from the first MK game up until the latest, I saw quite a few that I have never seen before. They were gruesome, nicely animated and over the top compared to most Mortal Kombat titles. Wondering where I saw those from, I remembered that there was a Mortal Kombat 2 player co-op brawler that came out for the PS2. That game was Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks.
I just picked up the game yesterday, popped it in, picked Kung Lao, and proceded to kill some Barakas. I gotta say it's a pretty awesome game. I don't remember any of my friends talking about this PS2 title back when I was in Highschool and with MK games during that time being kind of "meh", I thought this was a throw away title. I was still very interested in playing this before but I missed out on a lot of PS2 games during it's reign.
I'll definitely be playing more of this and you can probably catch it live on http://www.justin.tv/acicon this weekend.

Street Fighter X Tekken Character Teaser #3
Capcom has just released the third character teaser trailer for the up comign Street Fighter x Tekken. This time it's for all you Tekken fans out there.
I wonder if Julia's mixups of high and low attacks will be game breaking / just plain annoying. Either way I'm very excited to see how she plays in the Street Fighter IV engine. DEM JEANS!

Mobile Minecraft?
Porting Minecraft to the Xperia Play allows Mojang to utilize the PlayStation-style button layout to adapt the keyboard and mouse controls found on the PC version of the game. Touch controls will eventually be in place when the game hits other devices.
The mobile version will not be a direct copy of its computer counterpart, but instead is being developed specifically for the mobile platform. Busy working on the PC version of Minecraft, Markus "Notch" Persson is passing the reins to Aron Neiminen and Jens Bergensten for development.
