This April, WaterTower Music and Teenage Riot Records will releaseMortal Kombat: Songs Inspired by the Warriors.

The album is being produced by JFK, one half of the electronic duo MSTRKRFT. You can get a peek at what’s in store in this latest game trailer, focused on Mileena — it features the track “Mileena’s Theme” by Tokimonsta....

It’s a slow morning as we come back from the Easter nonsense, so let’s sneakmoreDynasty Warriorsstuffonto the frontpage when nobody’s looking. Chief among these assets in our gallery are new scans forEmpiresthat shows off the brand new Nanman stage and the returning Meng Huo character, who was absent fromDynasty Warriors 6. Meng Huo’s weapon takes the form of a giant stone pillar rather than the beast gloves he used to have....

We’ve heard of multiple developers working on a game before, but it’s not often that we hear a game will use two different engines. That’s the case with the upcomingMedal of Honor. The officialMedal of HonorTwitter account (along witha couple ofother Twitter accountsfrom EA employees) state that the single-player portion ofMedal of Honorwill use a “heavily-modified Unreal 3 Engine” while the multiplayer will use DICE’s Frostbite engine. Furthermore,Blue’s Newsgoes on to point out thisIGN UKpreview where DICE President Patrick Bach talks about the expected similarities betweenBad Company 2andMedal of Honor’smultiplayer: “I think it would be hard to not have anything feed in [from Battlefield]....

I’ve been hot forPlants vs Zombiesever since we saw the very first screenshot of the game, and the recentmusic videothat PopCap released to promote it only had me chomping at the bit even more. Also, that same video contained ZOMBIE DOLPHINS. I’m going to let you chew on that for a minute. Now, there’s a new video on thePlants vs ZombiesYouTube channel, and it’s somehow even more hilarious than the last one....

Next month, Sony will release a new battery for the PlayStation Portable that is said to last twice as long as the standard battery that ships with the handheld. With extended battery life, you’ll no longer have to worry about your system dying during marathon sessions of watching pornogr — uh, playingSyphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow. The $49.99 2200 mAh battery will ship with a new dock cover — available in silver and black — due to the larger physical size....

SoSingularityshould have come out last year. Not because it Raven Software had completed the game, or because it would have made financial sense for Activision to release it among a holiday of huge releases. No,Singularityshould have been out last yearbecause I want it, damn it. The game’s crazy time-shifting mechanics has my attention, as does the ability to be able to turn someone into a skeleton with said mechanic. While many people have written the game off as another generic shooter, from what I’ve seen,Singularityis anything but....

Zasalamel! Say it out loud. I don’t care if you’re in your cubicle or reading this from your local Starbucks, I want you to shout “Zasalamel.” Isn’t that fun? See, you shouldn’t listen to me more often. Having kind of slept throughSoulcalibur III, I had nearly forgot about this guy. But now that Namco Bandai have released a fresh new set of screenshots with old baldy in them, my memory has been refreshed....

I’ve made no secret ofmy bitter distastewhen it comes to the ridiculous, insulting and totally unnecessary release dates that we have to put up with from Nintendo in Europe. Having to wait over six months forSuper Paper Mariowas little more than a slap in the face, and a company that claims to be serious about its online market simply can’t pull such rotten stunts with today’s global gaming audience. Finally, however, it seems that the Big N is finally seeing the light and realizing that gamers outside of Japan are increasingly growing frustrated with their shoddy treatment....

Heaven forbid we letSplatterhousehog the spotlight, it’s only fair that we illuminatethe revival ofEarthworm Jimas well.

Jim‘s creator, Doug TenNapel will be teaming with Interplay as creative consultant on what is currently known asEarthworm Jim 4. In addition to the game, it has been revealed that a cartoon series and feature film are also in the works, with TenNapel’s involvement....

[As originally postedon Japanator] Here’s an article that highlights the gap between the US and Japanese DS market: about ten elementary and middle schools in Osakaare requiringtheir students to have a Nintendo DS. The school board will be distributing the systems starting in January, and the students will use a variety of software to aid their learning. If you’ve ever looked at the Japanese DS library, there is a plethora of study games that help you learn any number of languages, help you improve your kanji (oh how I use those games), or even help you read books....

Even though when I think ofDark Void, a few great things come to mind — Airtight Games (Crimson Skies), Capcom, jetpacks, the Bermuda Triangle, and Nikola effing Tesla — had the game shipped this year and not been delayed, there’s a chance many of us would’ve missed out. How do you even go about classifyingDark Void? An action-heavy third-person shooter with flying elements? Whatever it is, it’s looking more and more like something I need to play....
