Now you — yes,you, hopeful tournament entrant — can return to Man Island thanks to the wonders of Netflix streaming technology. The firstMortal Kombatmovie is up on Instant Watch, and can be viewed fromthis fine link. Based on the opinions of more than 300,000 Netflix members, this movie is a solid 3.3 out of 5. Personally, I found the PG-13 level of violence to be a bit on the soft side and, well, boring....
Midway has revealed some brand new Fatalities for its upcoming franchise milker,Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. This week, Sonya Blade, Catwoman and Sub Zero each get their chance to dish out the pain, while remembering to keep things as blood-free as possible. These particular Fatalities are a little dull, to be honest. It really is a shame that DC won’t let Midway go all out with these, because I’d personally like to see more than necks being broken and ice people getting shattered....
Indie publisher,Gamecock, ison a missionto bring us games that feel hip and stylish instead of the latest fragfest or movie spin-off. One such title,Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars, fits nicely into this criteria and looks to raise a few eyebrows.While this teaser video doesn’t show in-game footage or reveal any juicy secrets, it does feature cool concept art including a cactus monster getting its arm cut off, a little mushroom man riding a lizard, and even raises the question, “are the side effects of shrooms irreversible?...
Here’s a new trailer forDead Island. It shows off a little in-game footage, though nothing too outstanding. You’ll want to check it out regardless. I see that Deep Silver is still milking the “emotional” angle quite heavily, despite the fact that the gameplay sounds nothing like the marketing. I really hope they know what they’re doing with this, because if they keep implying an emotionally engaging experience, and we getDead Risingin Bermuda shorts, there could be amassiveload of backlash....
Nudey magazine day! Nudey magazine day! Hey guys, got another episode ofThe Destructoid Showfor you. Freshly squeezed from the tubes. The YOU-tubes.

Man, this holiday might start to be known for broken street dates from GameStop as two more high profile games received the corporate go ahead to get released before their release dates. Three stores in Jersey City, NJ, released bothAssassin’s Creed IIandLeft 4 Dead 2ahead of their November 17 release date. The stores, numbers 4627, 4260 and 6005, said it was because a local independent retailer had done the same....
When I woke up this morning, I was surprised to find a tiny basket sitting on the doorstep of Dtoid headquarters. Upon further inspection, I found this newNinja Gaiden 2gameplay footage trailer bundled within, along with a note that read: “Free to good home.”I’m not sure if the rest of the staff simply hadn’t made their way outside yet, (Iamusually the one to check the mail) or if it just hadn’t been there long, but luckily for this little guy, I run a home for orphaned ninjas in my spare time....
All this 3DS news is great and all, and I’m totally excited aboutMega Man Legends 3Dand the newResident Evilstuff, but on my end, the biggest reveal from tonight’s Nintendo Conference was actually related to Nintendo’sothersystem. This newly posted gallery of upcomingWii games on Nintendo of Japan’s official siteclearly names a newRhythm Tengoku(known asRhythm Heavenoutside of Japan) and a newFatal Framegame (which looks a lot like a remake or sequel toFatal Frame 2)....
A press release has been issued to announce the passing of new legislation regarding video game ratings, sales, and violence awareness in New York State. Introduced four days ago by Senator Andrew Lanza, the bill enforces the use of visible rating labelling and makes the selling of a rated game to an innapropriate buyer an illegal offense. So far, nothing the film industry hasn’t had to do for years. Where the legislation differs from the standard for DVDs however, is in its formation of both an advisory council pertaining to youth violence, interactive media and the ESRB, and a parent-teacher violence awareness program....
I went to a Bingo hall once. It smelled like beans and old people. Concrete floors, fluorescent lights, moaning — it was like a dream. I’ve been dreaming of reliving that experience ever since, and now I can with WiiWare releaseBingo Party Deluxe. I’m kidding. I’m sure this 500 Wii Point, 1-4 player party game is much more fun than my past experience. There’s 75- and 90-ball Bingo modes for up to four players, and a Bingo Party mode that has you unlocking new boards....

Thankfully,Games Radar has put together a listto keep all little fanatics in check. Here’s a snippet of the most notable mistakes by Nintendo. We heart Mario. 7 – Creating the Wii Can the same magic that made the DS an international phenomenon happen with a console?...
RuneScapewas always a game that I heard loads about, but never actually got into myself. The early 2000s were a time before I truly got to discover the wondrous medium that was PC gaming. Also being poor and not actually being able to have a good machine kinda helped that too. Luckily though, to celebrate the 10th anniversary ofRuneScape, Jagex is openingRuneScape Classicfor one last time! The game will be open until Thursday, September 26th for new players to join up and see what the game was like....
“Oh no, son! Toprock! Toprock! Kid is doing a toprock,” an excited teenager yelled at me as I played the FreeStyleGames-developed titleB-Boyat SouthPeak Games’ booth at this year’s New York Comic Con. Of course, I had no idea what the hell this kid behind me was yelling about.B-Boy, an upcoming breakdancing title set to hit the PlayStation 2 and PSP later this year, is the closest I’ve ever truly gotten to this street dance culture....
