Injustice takes Netherrealm’s experience with Mortal Kombat…

The newest trailer for Vanillaware’s side scroller Dragon’s Crown shelves the questionably-designed Sorceress, showcasing the ridiculously muscular Dwarf instead—although, he looks more like a viking on steroids than a dwarf. Dragon’s Crown is coming to PS3/Vita on July 25.

Among the Sleep, as you might recall, is a horror game where you play as a toddler. Developer Krillbite Studio has launched a Kickstarter which, if successful, will ensure a Q4 2013 release for the game. Something to consider if you feel your life lacks fear and dread.

Nvidia’s good at blowing stuff up. In this video, we can see them apply that to games—in this case, Adhesive Games’ currently-in-open-beta mech shooter, Hawken. From rock chunk-clouds and swirly, shiny particles to full-scale level destruction, it’s all there, and it all looks fabulously chaotic (and crazy fun).

Reus is a gorgeous 2D god game for the PC that lets you command giants (and dictate the lives of puny humans). Abbey Games, the developer, has announced a release date of May 16 in the trailer above. It’s been almost exactly seven years since the last Black & White release, so… please be good.…
