Welcome to NWP at the Movies! This week, the pantsless ones are joined by film critic, actor, artist, and all around good dude, John Gholson. Movies are the topic of the day, but as always we begin with what we’ve been playing and listener mail. This week, we talk about Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD, Patrick’s intro to iOS games, XCOM, and Julian’s existential gaming crisis.
All M rated games could soon be legal in the land down under.
After years of waiting, Australia will soon be able to introduce a rating higher than the current cap of MA15+. Previously, the lack of a higher rating caused several titles rated M in the US, to be heavily censored or outright banned in that country. The list of banned titles includes the soon to be released Syndicate, as well as previously released titles such as Mortal Kombat, Left 4 Dead 2, Silent Hill: Homecoming, and Fallout 3.
Have Scorpion and company in your pocket along with all new features.
Last year, the newest iteration in the Mortal Kombat franchise revitalized the series with a return to form gameplay style and sweet, bloody, over-the-top fatalities that were missing from the previous title, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Now that experience can be had on the go with the recent announcement of Mortal Kombat for the upcoming PlayStation Vita. Mortal Kombat co-creator and NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon is determined to make that experience one that can only be had on the new handheld.
Prepare Yourself for Kombat!
Last year's Mortal Kombat is coming to the PlayStation Vita this spring. NetherRealm Studios is designing the port specifically for gaming on the go and new gameplay features and content will be introduced exclusively on the Vita.
