With Nintendo announcing that development has just begun on the next iteration of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting the game this year, as the team makes time to really have everything balanced.  So what’s a hardcore player to do while they wait for that brawlathon?  Well, how about engage in another?  Today, Sony announced that it is bringing its much-rumored PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale out for the holiday season, with a slew of fighters from the 15-plus year Sony gaming legacy and a smorgasbord of levels.  The company recently invited us to an event to go hands-on.

There are some genres where the Xbox 360 doesn’t quite match the PlayStation 3.  In this particular case, it’s brutal action.  Sure, it’s got Gears of War 3, but the console is sorely lacking a competitor that can keep up with Sony’s own God of War franchise.  Sure, Dante’s Inferno came pretty damn close, but the religious overtones stopped hardcore gamers from fully enjoying that one.  Now Climax Studios gives the genre a try with a digital downloadable title called Bloodforge, and while there’s plenty to hack and slash, there’s very little purpose to keep you from doing it for hours on end.

There's no question that 2011 was a big year for the Mortal Kombat franchise, as Netherrealm Games effectively relaunched the franchise and made fighting relevant again, complete with over-the-top fatalities and bonus characters that piqued our interest.  (Freddy Krueger?)  But it looks like 2012 will be just as eventful for the series, as the team has not only announced a new Komplete Edition that's coming to consoles later this spring, but also its debut on the PlayStation Vita.

Sony's gearing up for a strong 2012 season, between the upcoming Twisted Metal and Starhawk, the rumored God of War IV, and now a new project that's looking more like an actuality with each new day.  The project is called Title Fight, and it looks to be Sony's equivalent of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros., with several familiar characters duking it out for supremacy.

So, for the lucky few of us that have been to E3, we all know of the massive spectacle that comes along with it. Tons of swag, new games, flashing lists and people pushing product down your pipehole. So much to absorb--especially for the loyal readers out there. So, it's no surprise that The Simpsons have used it for fodder for the long running animated television show.

LOS ANGELES -- Timed to release in 2012 with JJ Abrams’ new movie, the new Star Trek game for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 from developer Digital Extremes, publisher Paramount Interactive Entertainment and Bad Robot Interactive introduces an original story line that’s set after the events of the 2009 film. Digital Extremes was at E3 to showcase a pre-alpha demo of the new game and talk about this fresh co-op take on the new Star Trek universe.

David Jaffe came under a lot of criticism for the first God of War game due to what people claimed to be a blatant copy of Devil May Cry. Though you could look at it from a negative perspective, you can't blame him for copying it as Devil May Cry gave new life to the action genre. The game went on to have three more installments, making it a staple franchise for the Playstation 2. Dante is back to hunt down the demons that plague the world, but you may not recognize him as he got a little bit of a makeover.

With Kratos now playable (and in stereoscopic 3D) in the PlayStation 3 version of NetherRealm Studios’ Mortal Kombat game, it seems that’s only the beginning of his comeback. According to British magazine PSM3, Sony’s Santa Monica Studio is busy working on a new PS3 God of War game. The new title is expected to be shown during Sony’s E3 press conference this June (and a cover story is likely in one of the big magazines timed to that, like Game Informer). Stig Asmussen, game director for God of War 3, talks about the universe in this exclusive video interview.
