Scorpion is the REAL Flame head compared to that nobody Ghost Rider.  Expect Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe to be Kick Ass!

Our favorite character, Scorpion, never looked so good, burning up the Ice Man, Sub-Zero.  Mortal Kombat II is by far the best of the Mortal Kombat series.  But something tells me the inclusion of Batman and Joker to Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will help sell the game.  We’re very excited for this release, as we’re starting to get a little Soul Calibur’d out.  Check out the rest of the screens below:

Noel Gallagher has been making some rather odd comments concerning video games lately. A while back, he pretty much blamed violent video games for random stabbings in England. This is what he had to say about Guitar Hero:

“If it puts little plastic guitars into kids’ hands and fires their imaginations, I think that’s a good thing. It’s harmless fun, innit,” he said.

“I’d rather that genre of videogames than somebody getting their fucking head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting fucked by a goblin up the arse with a laser. Do you know what I mean?”

I’m not quite sure if Gallagher says these things because he believes them or because he thinks they are witty. He might be wrong on both accounts, but his statements are always amusing. I’m sure Gallagher will publicly blame video games when the first troll gets abused by a goblin “up the arse with a laser” in real life. Dig Out Your Soul comes out next month and is the 7th Oasis album. Let’s hope it’s at least on the level of Don’t Believe The Truth. I’ll just never like Oasis the way I did their first few albums, but they still put out good music.

We talked about GameDaily HUD #1 last week and now they have released #2.  For the second time in a row, they selected my old blogging partner in crime (Daniel Perez) from FileFront as one of the poll members.  Head over to GameDaily and find out what the fuss is all about this week in the gaming world from the writers in the industry.  Here’s a quick description of this week’s HUD:

Olympic games versus video games? Biggest convention news? Music game royalties? Ten writers reveal their answers to all that and more in this week’s HUD.

There is no secret that the NES is one of the most successful gaming consoles EVER made. Just because you don’t have Nintendo Cartridges to blow into and carefully put it into your NES to play Zelda doesn’t mean you can’t. Well my followers, put down that Nestle Quik and comb your head because the NES will come to YOU! One of our favorite sites to play all those classic NES games is VirtualNES.

Why not hop on over and check out their list of games, only problem is there is no controller and the keyboard can be cumbersome. It’ll remind you of you past and those games you wish you never traded.

Big Blue Bubble just announced that they’re bringing Canada’s favorite game on ice to WiiWare. ‘Hockey Allstar Shootout’ will be pretty much the first game of it’s kind on WiiWare. I’m not sure why they spell it “allstar” instead of “all star” but I guess that’s how they roll in Ontario. In this game, the Wii Remote will basically become your hockey stick as you compete in 3 different skills competitions.

The modes include Sharp Shooter where you break targets as quickly as you can, Power Shot where the hardest shot wins and Head to Head Shootout. I haven’t seen any videos or screens yet, but the game sounds interesting.

If you are easily offended, Tropic Thunder may not be the film for you. If you are looking for a lot of laughs, I’m not sure why you haven’t seen it yet. Some of the best quotes from the film really make more sense if you’ve actually watched the movie. The witty film makes fun of Hollywood and numerous Vietnam war films.  Here’s my choice for the top five Tropic Thunder quotes:

Kirk Lazarus: I know who I am! I’m the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude! (from trailer)

Alpa Chino: …because they had one good part in there for a *black* man, and they gave it to “Crocodile Dundee”!

Kirk Lazarus: Some of us might not make it back.
Jeff ‘Fats’ Portnoy: What do you mean, like… not on the same flight?

Speedman: I don’t believe you people!
Kirk Lazarus: What do you mean, “you people?”
Alpa Chino: What do you mean, “you people?”

Kirk Lazarus: Yo, assholes, this mother fucker’s dead!
Tugg Speedman: [picks up severed head] I think I can spot a prop head when I see one!
[people around him gag while he plays with the head]

For the entire year, it seems like I end up seeing the IO Digital Cable commercial at least 5 or 6 times per day while watching television.  For some reason, it seems to appear more during The People’s Court.  While I completely despise this commercial, it’s very effective.  (877) 393-4448 is one telephone number I will never get out of my mind, regardless of how hard I try to forget it.  The last time anyone forced a number into my head like this was Tommy Tutone and 867-5309.  At least “Jenny” was a half-decent song.  Will we ever see the end of the IO Digital Cable Commercial with the silly lobster and half-ass rapping?  Maybe one day, but probably not a day that comes soon.

Hello Folks, it’s your favorite editor here to say… damn I forgot.  But while I’m writing, I figured let me keep our readers up to date with COOL avatars news.  What’s an avatar you ask?  Ok, if you’ve commented on our site you’ve probably have noticed the picture that shows up next to your name.  That’s an avatar.  If you hate your ‘triangle head, square head or circle head’ avatar, and would like to choose your own, go to gravatar.com

What is a gravatar?

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs?

Kezins.com encourage all our readers to express your image with as much personality as possible.  We would love not like to see racy pics in your gravatar’s so, I guess keep em clean!

We’ll be searching for the coolest gravatar and anything with Star Wars, Punky Brewster or Braveheart win my vote!

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning and Guilty Gear X2 #Reload make their way to the 360 recycle bin, aka “Xbox Originals,” June 16. Its a questionable set to release as neither game was popular, there seems to be no theme and both lack any real relevance today.

Although, GGX2 did take its heavy metal-inspired look and sound and made a respectable fighting game out of it with admirable online play. No word yet on Interweb play being available in the “Xbox Originals” release, though.

Both will go live at the price of 1200 MS Points ($15) next week and here’s what Metacritic scored them:

Guilty Gear X2 #Reload - Metascore: 86

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning - Metascore: 69
