Moon Diver is “basically” an old-school, 2-D, side-scrolling action game through and through. Was this new title from Square Enix a Triple Lindy, or was it a Belly Flop? Read on to find out…

Catherine puts players into the shoes of Vincent who, after meeting a girl (named ‘Catherine’), begins having nightmares which can end up killing him. Apparently Catherine is not all she appears to be and, in addition to surviving the nighttime modes, Vincent must keep his relationships together during the day. Catherine is due out on July 26th, 2011.

Mad Catz has announced the formation of ThunderHawk Studios. This new studio will develop a series of flight simulation MMOs which will make especially-good use of the Saitek line of Pro Flight peripherals.
“The addition of flight simulation games should leverage the market share leadership and global distribution enjoyed by our flight simulation hardware products,” said Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. “The formation of ThunderHawk Studios is an important milestone as we pursue our longer term goal of expanding our participation in developing, publishing and distributing games.”
ThunderHawk Studios first flight simulation product is expected to launch in 2012.
THQ has pulled the wraps off of its upcoming sequel to METRO: 2033, METRO: Last Light. In fact, not only do we have details about the game but we also have its first trailer, so enjoy! METRO: Last Light will be set after the events of the original game and will see the remnants of humanity fighting it out above and below post-apocalyptic Moscow for control of a doomsday weapon. The game is being developed for the Windows PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 platforms and is due out in 2012.
“We believe that Metro 2033 was a flawed masterpiece,” said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ. “It was a beautiful, original game that didn’t get the marketing support it needed. We won’t make that mistake with Metro: Last Light. This game improves on the original in every way – it will have more polish, deeper and more sophisticated gameplay, and satisfyingly visceral combat, without losing what our fans loved about the original. Metro: Last Light is another artful piece of game development from an Eastern European studio that will thrill and terrify anyone looking for a more cerebral experience than your typical first person shooter.”

NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have released a new trailer for Skarlet, the upcoming new kombatant for Mortal Kombat. Skarlet loves blood.

Despite showing her insatiable pention for kicking ass, the trailer also lets out news that she will be playable at E3 next week – so hopefully we can fight through the throngs of people to get some news for you on it. Enjoy!
