Mortal Kombat News for Xbox 360 and PS3
Mortal Kombat (or Mortal Kombat 9, if you prefer) is kind of a big deal this week. The demo is out on PSN and it’s almost out on Xbox Live. The retail release is right around the corner too.

First, a guide to MK for people who normally play Street Fighter. The mechanics are different, so if it’s been a while since you “got over here,” you might want to take a look.
In terms of new characters, we now know that the roster includes Noob Saibot, Raiden, Kabal, and more. Here’s the leaked character selection screen with Quan Chi, Cyborg Sub-Zero, and more.

The fatalities are epic, as expected, but check out this Sub-Zero and Scorpion vs. Cyrax and Sektor tag team battle. Crazy. Human(-ish) ninjas versus robot ninjas.
It’s Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Day!
The day you’ve been waiting for is finally upon us. Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds launches today through all the usual retail channels. After months of character reveals, rumors, and videos, we can finally bite our teeth into the first MvC sequel in a decade!
From Deadpool to Dante, She-Hulk to X-23, there’s someone in there for everyone. How has the critical reception been so far? Justin Wong says the game is fun but cheap and easy. 1Up says the possibilities are endless, while GamesRadar applauds the spectacular comic book presentation. Overall, most reviewers are giving scores in the 80-90% range. That sounds awfully good to me!
What are you waiting for? Go buy your copy today! It’s available for Xbox 360 and PS3.
