55w ago - Mortal Kombat Producer Hector Sanchez has announced alongside posting up the launch trailer that Mortal Kombat officially hits PS Vita today!

To quote: Developing new and inventive missions for the Bonus Challenge Tower was something our talented Design team at Netherrealm Studios jumped at.

It allowed us to not only come up with unique and innovative scenarios that took advantage of the numerous PS Vita features (such as the touchscreen and the accelerometer), but also a long-awaited opportunity to create challenges based around the DLC characters that released after the launch of the PS3 version. Yes, that means Freddy Krueger missions!

With Mortal Kombat finally emerging today on PS Vita game card and via PSN, our designers at NetherRealm Studios wanted to share some of their favorite missions from the all-new Challenge Tower. We hope you guys have just as much fun playing through these missions as we had making them.

56w ago - Sony Creative Director Brian Upton at Santa Monica Studio has shared a new video trailer and the Final US box art for Sorcery on the PlayStation 3 today!

To quote: Now that we're a month out from the May 22nd launch of Sorcery, I'm pleased to show off our final box art, along a brand new trailer that dives in the story behind this much anticipated PlayStation Move title.

Some elements of the story were remarkably consistent throughout development process, while some have changed quite dramatically. The two main characters - Finn, the sorcerer's apprentice, and Erline, his magical cat - were there almost from the beginning.

We always knew they were on a quest to reach the Slumbering Palace at the heart of the Faerie Realm. However, WHY they were on this quest, and WHO was trying to stop them kept shifting. Here's a look...

A lot of the details of the story grew organically out of gameplay. The team would have a cool idea for an enemy or a puzzle or an encounter and I'd weave the rest of the narrative around it.





For example, the civilization of the bogeys (an early-game enemy) is crude and brutal because that's how they behave when they attack. And a lot of the mythology...
