Three New MMA Screenshots

EA's MMA is already looking visually better than THQ's UFC Undisputed 2010, but can they nail down a nice enough gameplay experience that is as easy and user friendly as UFC Undisputed. Developer's of MMA say that they will be using similar control scheme to that of Fight Night Round 4, using the right analog stick to throw a punch or kick. I'm not really a fan of that kind of controls, but I'll give it a try. EA's MMA is definitely going to give UFC Undisputed 2010 a run for its money. Since this is developed by EA, it's going to be realistic as possible. You can tell just by how life-like these screens are. Here, check em' out below.

First Look At Dead Space 2

This Rorschach looking test is our first look at Dead Space 2 which was posted on Twitter yesterday. The game is expected to have an appearance at the Spike TV VGA awards on December 12th. A reader on Kotaku posted this funny comment to say:

Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 2010: Necromorph carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This space station is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.The hallways are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and scientists will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."

Mass Effect Coming To PS3? UPDATE!!

While at a gaming event in Poland, Bioware's Jay Watamaniuk announce that the Playstation 3 could be a possible target for Mass Effect 2.

During the presentation, Watamaniuk mentioned three platforms that Mass Effect 2 is targeted at. They were Xbox 360, PC and "probably PS3".

Currently Mass Effect 2 is listed as for Xbox 360 and PC only, but earlier this week, the game popped up on website for PS3 also, but EA said it was a mistake.

So what do you think, was Watamaniuk misspoken or should Playstation 3 owners start getting ready for a Mass Effect game.

UPDATE!! This is false.
