Episode 22: Headshots!

The games have been slow to trickle out early in 2012 but at least there seems to be one good game or more coming each week. Only one new one this time though.

Coming to Xbox360 and PS3 this week is Sniper Elite v2 which is a World War II shooter that focuses on sniping Nazis working on the V2 rocket program. The coolest thing about this franchise is the Xray cameras that show the internal damage caused by each shot!


The only other big release is not a new one, Mortal Kombat (the newest version) makes its way to Playstation VITA this week. It will feature all downloadable content and characters plus touch screen fatalities and you can use the VITA's camera to make a new background for your kombat.


In other gaming news, the next Call of Duty game will be announced TODAY during the NBA Playoffs on TNT. Jay-Z is developing a Facebook game called Empire where you start as a street thug and work your way up to business mogul (obviously, it's loosely based on Jay-Z's life).

Sony has taken a bite off the Super Smash Bros. apple with a new game called Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale pitting Playstation characters like Kratos, Sweet Tooth, and Sly Cooper against each other in combat. It actually looks and seems to play a lot like the Super Smash Bros. games.


And lastly, the cover for Madden 13 has been announced and it's CALVIN JOHNSON! He beat out #2 Cam Newton by almost SEVEN MILLION VOTES! Here it is:


So there you have it. A new shooter, MK portable, and a few things to look forward to. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!
