I have had my doubts about the new Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game that is being worked on because I think the two genres are just too far apart, but I have been giving it the benefit of the doubt. I had heard about the in-ability to kill the DC characters and the change that they will not receive fatalities but instead get brutalities, this I can deal with. I have seen clips of the Klose Kombat and Air Kombat and these do look pretty interesting but then we get to the Joker.
After looking at the latest screen shots that Midway released showing the Joker in action I have to say I have mixed emotions. One shot shows the Joker fighting against Scorpion and it seems that he is blowing him up and has his typical evil grin, which makes him seem even more evil and sadistic. Then there is another shot of him getting punched in the face with an uppercut from Sub Zero and he has the same grin on his face, this just seems odd. Does the Joker only have one facial expression, judging from the other screenshots when characters get punched or kick they do not grin happily. It is almost disturbing in a masochistic way to look at the screen shot of him getting punched and smiling.

FIFA is a very popular title worldwide much like soccer/futbol is, here in the United States it isn’t as mainstream, but the video games do well. EA recently announced FIFA 09 and what would be crammed into it and it sounds very impressive.
One thing that I am curious about is the fact that each FIFA game is unique? There are different game modes in each specific console version, so although FIFA 09 is multi-platform it will provide different experiences. The Wii version is scheduled to get a game mode where you can use your Miis.
The PS3 is also getting a unique game mode as well as the Xbox 360, but these haven’t been named just yet. I would imagine that these two systems will have something to do with the cameras and face mapping or perhaps for the the PS3 maybe HOME integration?
Here is the official press release:
EA SPORTS Delivers Platform Specific Experience for FIFA Soccer 09
PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360 Feature More Than 250 Core Gameplay Enhancements That Deliver Most Responsive, Intelligent and Realistic Action Ever

You’ve seen the trailer; you’ve read the press release. Now check out all the cool stills from an in-game fight between Forrest Griffin and Rampage Jackson. These are two of my favorite fighters (I’m an insanely huge UFC fan, by the way). Can’t wait to see them actually get it on July 5th.
Check out all the other cool shots after the jump. This is one of my most anticipated games for Spring 2009.

Bungie let loose two new screens of the upcoming Halo 3 map Cold Storage. The map was debuted at a recent MLG event and looks pretty cool. It’s a remake of Chill Out from Halo: Combat Evolved (yeah, the first one). At this point, I’m not sure I’d buy more Halo 3 maps. I haven’t really played much in a long time with all the other great games that have come out.
Check out the second screen after the jump.

Are you anxiously awaiting the release of Fable 2 later this year? Microsoft dropped off three new screenshots to keep you company until the game gets released.

Sony released a batch of new screenshots for their upcoming PSN episodic horror title, Siren: Blood Curse. To go along with the screens, they also posted a pretty in-depth Q&A with the game’s creator, Keiichiro Toyama.
They go into some pretty cool topics, including Toyama-san’s inspirations for the game, his thoughts on episodic content, and the evolution of the game since its PS2 days. Definitely worth a read. Go check it out.

2K dropped off a couple new screens for BioShock on the PS3 via PlayStation.Blog. The game looks to be running just about the same as the 360 version.
The team at 2K Marin still won’t let out what extras the PS3 version is getting, we just know it’s something. Maybe some new tonics and plasmids? I highly doubt it’ll be anything as huge as multiplayer and I doubt new levels would work because of throwing off the story. We’ll see what happens.

More pics after the jump. You know you want to see them.

So it looks like Metal Gear Solid will also get some midnight launch love much like the other large anticipated titles before it. Curious to see how many will show up for this one since the PS3 is the most expensive of the three consoles. On June 12 you will see people line up to get their hand’s on some Solid Snake as soon as possible. I have to say that this title at first only mildly interested me until I saw the screenshots of this killer app. MGS4 will be able to boast some of the nicest graphics to date on any system, let’s just see how many cut-scenes are involved in this epic game.
