2D gamers are still in love with the hardcore Metal Slug games from SNK Playmore. The last couple of months SNK has been porting a lot of its classic games to next-generation consoles such as Metal Slug Anthology for the Nintendo Wii. Now SNK has an Xbox 360 version of Metal Slug 3 in the makes. We think it’s going to be an Xbox Live Arcade game, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

A few months ago Dennis Dyack from Silicon Knights said that the three episodes of the Too Human trilogy would all appear on Microsoft’s Xbox 360, but in an interview with IGN he takes that back. Dyack said that it might take a while before the trilogy is done and by that time the Xbox 360 could already be replaced by a next-next-generation console.

Some kids found out that in the config file of the BioShock demo there is something about the PlayStation 3. Take2 Games has a ‘Non-Disclosure-Agreement’ with Microsoft and that could make this PS3 version of BioShock before the official release of the game in Europe pretty expensive.

Sierra Entertainment has announced that A2M is developing a new action game called WET. This game will come out next year for Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360. The main character in this game is Rubi, a brave female who’s a mix of Uma Thurman and Angelina Jolie. Sometimes she has to steal stuff, sometimes she kills someone, sometimes she protects a VIP. That’s a nice job with a whole lot of variety in it! But there’s more, the style she uses in her actions is completely in Tarantino style with Mexico and Hong Kong flavor. Sounds like a spicy woman, we’d love to see more of her, and hear more of her as well off course!

2K Games has officially announced Mafia 2 and gave five screenshots of the game along with the announcement.

Illusion Softworks is developing the game, the same studio that developed the first Mafia game. 2K Games will be showing more of Mafia 2 during the Leipzig Games Convention. (more…)
