Another coup for Wii owners in the EU.
It’s been a long time since anyone has heard from the Fatal Frame series. The game debuted on the PlayStation 2 in 2001, and the series became a cult hit amongst horror fans. The fourth game was developed exclusively for the Wii by Grasshopper Manufacture in 2008, but was never translated from Japanese. A remake of the second game, Crimson Butterfly, is in the works for the Wii, but until now there had been no word of the game seeing a release outside of its native country.
The next God of War game will act as a prequel to the series. Currently no other details are known, but Sony plans to reveal more about the title on April 30 at 11AM.
Despite swirling rumors of the game's cancellation, Prey 2 is assured to still be in development.
At the end of March, rumors began to surface that Prey 2, the upcoming sequel to 2006's Prey, had been canceled by publisher Bethesda. Up until now, neither Bethesda nor developer Human Head had made a statement to disprove the rumored events. When programmer Brian Karis announced via Twitter that Prey 2 would not be shown at GDC 2012 as originally planned, the rumors appeared to have some validity. Today, Bethesda issued a statement reassuring fans that Prey 2 has not been canceled, but delayed to 2013.
With the Pack Leader ability, Heller is poised to cause even more destruction when Prototype 2 hits store shelves on April 24.

Didn't you know that you can only knock out your opponent to win an MMA match?
If you’re going to create a game based on a specific sport, you usually want to make sure it’s replicated properly. Real MMA matches revolve around brutal submissions and painful, high intensity fights, but this is not the case with Supremacy MMA Unrestricted. Here, things are slow moving and tap-outs are impossible, as you merely chip away your opponent’s life bar until you knock them out. Furthermore, despite the varying disciplines of the sport, each and every fighter plays nearly the same, with the exception of grapple-based fighters who are at a distinct advantage. With its inaccurate portrayal and unbalanced roster, you’ll quickly find that Supremacy MMA Unrestricted is not only a bad MMA game, but a bad fighting game as well.
My love for you is like a truck, Gunzerker!
With Borderlands being the critical and commercial success that it was, I didn’t think we’d see much deviation in Borderlands 2. However, after getting a chance to play the game for myself I can safely say that Borderlands 2 looks to add a lot more than new equipment – though they’re sure to add a staggering amount of that as well. Focused on character design and strategy, Borderlands 2 offers a stronger dynamic between weapon and class choices. You can still expect the same hectic, loot-filled gameplay that the series has become known for, but the experience is refined this time around. As Jeramy Cooke Gearbox’s Art Director told me, “This is definitely Borderlands 2.0, not 1.5.”
