With more than two days to go, Friday the 13th: The Game has reached its crowdfunding goal of $700,000. At $716,000 and counting, it’s possible they might hit some of the stretch goals, too. The single-player challenge mode at $1.6 million seems like it won’t happen, but who knows?

It’s a psycho killer try-before-you-buy this weekend in Mortal Kombat X. If you bought the game but not the DLC, head over to MKX’s Living Towers this weekend to play as Jason Vorhees in what should have been a 13 round battle but ended up only being 6 because that’s no fun at all.

Mortal Kombat has dabbled in horror icons as characters in the past. Next up? Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees in next month's Mortal Kombat X. The bad news? The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions have been delayed until summer.

If you set the in-game date of the shipping version of SimCopter to Friday the 13th, the male residents would strip down and occasionally make out. The game was patched to remove this. The programmer who added it, Jacques Servin, was actually fired by Maxis.

Some might argue there's no reason to develop another Friday the 13th game, as the NES game is an all-time "classic," but they're making another one anyway. EGM reports Crystal Lake Entertainment has partnered with a developer for a multiplayer game where one player becomes the slasher icon. The game's set for October.

Friday the 13th, the 1989 game, is widely considered to be one of the worst video games of all time, certainly one of the worst ever made for the NES. So of course it rates a special edition figurine—Jason Vorhees in the strange purple getup he wore for the final, deeply unsatisfying boss battle.

Happy Friday the 13th! Jason is over right now, he says to tell you guys, "Hi."

Gears of War 2 is teaming up with Friday the 13th, of all movies, to host nearly two-weeks of giveaways on Xbox Live. I suppose both feature chainsaws, so maybe it makes sense.
