PDP, makers of the officially licensed Mortal Kombat Fight Stick, have just announced the Mortal Kombat Klassic Stick, a re-designed version that features art used in the original Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet.
A sequel that seems to have improved in every way from an already great game.
When inFamous was released in 2009, it took the gaming world by storm. It was a super-hero inspired game that used open world mechanics along with a deep story and strong morale choices to catch the eyes of many gamers. inFamous was met with critical acclaim, and now the team at Sucker Punch seeks out to top the first game in each and every way with inFamous 2. From my hands on with the game, I feel that it truly lives up to that expectation.
The game is coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC next March.

Trying to say "Sorry, Thor Wii" 3x fast is more fun than playing it.
I can't tell you any of Thor Wii's characters, plot, goal, bad guy, or setting. None of it made sense (and I played it all the way through)! While it certainly isn't for those unfamiliar with the movie or comic books, it's at least passable as a beat-em-up/brawler.
