June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices.

Mortal Kombat reviews coming in, near flawless victory!

The reviews are starting to appear online for Mortal Kombat, which looks like it could take over the mantle of the Vita's best brawler. BlazBlue leads the way with 83 and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is on 80 in metacritic. MK has got a head start on those, but that could change as more scores pour in.

I'll add more scores as they come in:

Gamer Access 9/10
IGN 8.5/10
Next Video Games 8.5/10
