Digital Eclipse's PS3 port of Mortal Kombat II has finally arrived in Europe, as you may have read earlier in this week's highly offensive new-releases column. It's available to buy on the PS3 Store for EUR 2.99 during an introductory period.
As well as letting you play the infamous 2D beat-'em-up against the CPU or a friend as one of the game's 12 iconic characters (you know, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, etc.), the PS3 port of MKII allows you to go online and beat people up there, too, with stat-tracking and leaderboards so you can keep an eye on exactly how good you are.
Alternatively, you can go on GameFAQs, download a fatality guide and just watch the funny animations all weekend, which is what we did with the SNES version. Seems like a waste of money now.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
**throws bone to Europe**... there ya go guys, have fun.
juhu!!
online too yippie
we europeans support Sony more than any other continent, yet they treat us like crap. we still dont have the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo, no Calling All Cars, etc. US Store had MKII for some time now.
I will always support Sony no matter what, but at least they should return the favour.
dude, I have a UK, US, JPN and Hong Kong account. the point is, for example, I cant purchase games like Calling All Cars from the US store. I can only get free stuffs.
