Also, this guy would be PERFECT to appear on the new Mortal Kombat.

i feel like you found these pics are tried to find a way to post them

Maul could have been in SC4 but they dropped that ball. I can see Ash in MK, but he'd be better in L4D.

Why? Because he looks "cool" but get pwned fairly easily?

Kalyx triaD 01-03-2011 06:24 PM

Probably the first part exclusively. I can't speak for him, though.

Miotch 01-03-2011 07:16 PM

Viacom sold Harmonix and evidently took a bath on it.

Kalyx triaD 01-03-2011 07:51 PM

Old news, bro. It's all good, though.

SEGA planning something special for the 20th anniversary of Sonic and Puyo Puyo series by announcing they will release a "variety of projects" involving both franchises for 2011.

Not announced is if there will be a collection disc similar to Mario's 25th Anniversary or other special celebrations Japan received for Mario (ex. Red Wii, Special Mario edition DS, Club Nintendo gifts).

Of the two series, Sonic won't officially celebrate its 20th anniversary until June 23.

In unrelated news, Angry Birds coming to PSN store this week. The game won't be remade into "HD" since it is just a straight port from the PC/iPhone version with different controls.

I hate Darth Maul, because he represent all of what went wrong with the prequels. Looks cool, lots of hype, but in the end can't get the job done.

Kalyx triaD 01-03-2011 10:50 PM

Haha, very good.

Fignuts 01-04-2011 12:26 AM

Seriously. Dude just watches obi-wan flip over him, and slice him in half. Was he admiring the flip's form or something, what happened?

BigDaddyCool 01-04-2011 10:15 AM

And Obi-Wan wasn't even a full Jedi yet, he was only a yellow belt or something, Darth Maul was suppose to be a black belt Sith super assassin and gets pwned by some jerk.

D Mac 01-04-2011 02:48 PM

Obi got lucky is all.

BigDaddyCool 01-04-2011 03:44 PM

Like the Raiders?

Emperor Smeat 01-04-2011 08:51 PM

Konami/Suda 51 releases screen-shots of No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise for only the PS3 set to come to the US and Europe at an unannounced 2011 date.

The game is an "HD"-port of the same game that was released in April 2010 in Japan but unlike the game Japan got, the US version is expected to be compatible with Sony's Move controller. The game is also expected to get some extras from No More Heroes 2 but nothing drastically different than the original Wii version.

No price was announced but it is expected to be in the $40-$60 range based on Move prices and the game's price in Japan.

Always wanted to try those.

OssMan 01-04-2011 09:56 PM

Valkyrie Profile blows so much. It is so boring that it made me want to skip to the very end of the game, which I did. Now I'm severely under leveled. Just want to beat the stupid game.

Funky Fly 01-04-2011 11:19 PM

Dude, I'd kill for La Parka in SC5. Especially if they actually license his theme music as background music for his stage so that he can chair guitar.

Also, fuck off with No More Heroes not coming to the 360 in the west.

Emperor Smeat 01-04-2011 11:27 PM

The reasoning behind the game not coming to the US or Europe for the Xbox 360 is mainly due to the publishers changing.

Ubisoft was willing to publish and distribute both games in the Wii series for easy money but the HD ports required Ubisoft to help in funding. Ubisoft saw the return sales not worth the time and Konami picked up the rights to publish.

Konami also saw it would be easier to port Wii controls to Move controls and the Japan Xbox 360 version is rumored to have been a mess with bugs. Konami doesn't want to do anything extra to fix either game besides some funding.

Funky Fly 01-05-2011 12:05 AM

Fuck em all.

I saw something very similar to that years ago. Though I think it was just 2-color LCD screens and not full color.

You are insane. Great game.

OssMan 01-05-2011 01:36 PM

Noh dude I can't stand it. I dunno. Feel like I would like it a lot if I actually got to build up my characters and not worry about sending them away after 4 dungeons, and worrying about exploring stuff since you only have a certain amount of "periods." Started playing the second one and like it a lot better so far.

LoDownM 01-05-2011 04:03 PM

You don't have to send them up to Asgard or whatever it's called, you can keep them the entire game if you want. Battle system is great too.

G 01-05-2011 06:02 PM

"I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite free DLC on the PlayStation Network." When you start the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2, you'll be able to start off looking sharp -- as sharp as someone who pre-ordered the original versions of the game from GameStop, in fact.

The Terminus armor (which increases running speed and shields, and augments ammo capacity) and the M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon (which creates tiny black holes), offered with Xbox 360 and PC pre-orders of ME2, will be distributed to PS3 Mass Effect 2 players for free via PSN through February 23.

Funky Fly 01-05-2011 06:29 PM

So, was Mass Effect 2 delayed on the PS3? I thought they came out together?

G 01-05-2011 06:34 PM

It was 360/PC exclusive until it was announced August 18th

Funky Fly 01-05-2011 07:07 PM

Weird. When I was entering all the preorder/LE codes and registering it online and whatnot it asked me to whether I was a PS3 or 360 player.

Beginning in February, Microsoft will be holding a promotion called "Xbox Live Arcade House Party". There'll be five games released over a five week period, including Torchlight and the HD version of Beyond Good & Evil.

Joining those headline acts will be Hard Corps Rising, Bejeweled Blitz and Full House Poker. Hard Corps will be the first game released on February 16, while the others will follow one game per week after that.

If you've never played Beyond Good & Evil or Torchlight - and given the former's age and the latter's previous lack of console appearance many of you haven't - this is a promo to keep an eye on.

Source.

So it's a updated Radica Cube.

Fignuts 01-06-2011 12:13 PM

February 16?! You fucking mother fuckers. Having to wait another month for hard corps is fucking bullshit.

Pretty pumped for Good and Evil though. Never got to play that.

Fignuts 01-06-2011 02:06 PM

Figures, I delete a bunch of people from the friends list that I never play with, and a day later, they all want to play COD with me. Fuck's sake.

Emperor Smeat 01-06-2011 08:34 PM

THQ's upcoming shooter Homefront will have an Online Pass but THQ will let rental and used buyers to level up in multiplayer up to Level 5 as a cap.

No time limit will be done either but in order to unlock stuff passed Level 5 (out of 75), the pass needs to be bought.

One rumor to why THQ decided to change its stance on its Online Pass might be related to the awful sales of its games in 2010 and needed to do something different with the pass, especially with new titles that are not established series.

In comparison, all of EA's pass-enabled games give just a few days for free before locking out all of the multiplayer modes unless the pass is bought.

Don't care. Will be buying Homefront new.

Kalyx triaD 01-07-2011 01:27 AM

I'm interested in Homefront.

Fignuts 01-07-2011 01:57 AM

I enjoyed Frontline. Battlefield with some neat concepts thrown in. Cool maps too.

Emperor Smeat 01-07-2011 08:05 PM

Bioware holding a promotion for free Dragon Age II DLC with a catch. If you pre-order the game before January 11, The Exiled Prince DLC package is free as a bonus. After January 11, the DLC is set to cost 560 MS points.

In unrelated news, games for the upcomming Nintendo 3DS might not reach $50-$70 as some rumors were implying since Japan's early price listing for 3DS games only show about a $12 increase ($30/$35 to $42/$47).

Since Japan's prices are always more expensive than US prices, 3DS games might be around $40-$45 with $45 being the Gamestop/bigger name games prices.
