Finally, I’ve been waiting for something to get me back into the game. It couldn’t be a more fitting title either. Mortal Kombat: Rebirth is a short film directed by Kevin Tancharoen (the guy who did Fame. You know, that musical with Catherine Zeta-Jones). It’s a pitch to get WB studios to pick it up for a feature — sort of like District 9 (Neil Blomkamp, made “Alive in Joburg”, which was picked up by Pete Jackson).

Kev Tancharoen couldn’t have picked a better time, WB has announced the release of a new Mortal Kombat video game for the 360 and PS3. The last time the series was visited was a year or so ago, with the release of Mortal Kombat vs. DC. Anyway, I digress. The point is, is that he couldn’t have picked a better time to release it. Since its release on June 7th, there have been more than 4 million views, and that’s just on the official youtube account, countless others have also posted the short.

Lets hit the tape:

Holy shit. Right?

Tancharoen has created better, more synthesized storylines with a somewhat believable plot. Which, given the character’s powers and abilities, is no walk in the park. And if you really think about it, isn’t Mortal Kombat essentially a far-fetched no-holds bar version of UFC?

If you can name an action hero from the past two decades, they’re probably in this movie. If this doesn’t get your testosterone pumping, I don’t know what will. The Expendables debuts August 31, 2010.

This is the follow-up to the first trailer that was released during the Super Bowl.

If you didn’t catch it or if you just want to see it again, hit the jump.

Sony’s got their answer to the Nintendo’s Wii and Microsoft’s Project Natal. The Playstation Move.

“It’s fast, precise and accurate,” said Peter Dille, Sony’s senior VP of marketing. “We like to think this is the next generation of motion-gaming…we’re really approaching this as a platform launch.”

It will work in unison with the Playstation Eye by using the colourball on top of the control to help the users in-game motion accuracy. Sony will be releasing a “Starter Kit” bundle that would include a Playstation Eye, and the Playstion Move controller, for around $100. Sweet.

The Playstion Move will debut late 2010.
