PSLS: This week is little on the light side, but hey, the Uncharted 3 beta should be more than enough to occupy your time. Aside from that, there’s a PlayStation Move Ape Escape, a couple Japan PSOne imports, and some excellent DLC, both free and premium, for Mortal Kombat.

Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
The fighting genre is full of mini-games, from Street Fighter's car destruction to Tekken Ball. Here's the best Mortal Kombat mini games.
Cultured Vultures: We've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games across the series' history. Special Forces is clearly number one.
My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.
That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories
MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.
I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
Pretty small this week but I will be grabbing the Mortal Kombat DLC.
Lovin' those Noob and Smoke alternate costumes. B)
Ape Escape Move!! Now this is a week to remember!
I thought Ape Escape demo was already live...I must of grabbed it from the UK store or something?
Either way I was a little disappointed with it. All it is, is a rail shooter with a slight twist of swinging the controller instead of point and shoot. Would of been way more fun if they kept the classic gameplay, then you had to swing and shoot stuff with the controller.....
they should just make a full fledged ape escape game instead of this crap
