Mayor Mike Haggar and Phoenix joins MvC 3

Two new characters was revealed for Marvel Vs Capcom 3 and this reveal took me by suprise. For the Capcom side, Mayor Mike Haggar from the famous 1989 Final Fight Series joins the roster. Who needs Zangief when you have The Mayor to wrestle against the Hulk.

For the Marvel side, Phoenix, one of the strongest beings in the Marvel universe will be showing how bad ass she can get in an all out brawl.

Two down, possibly eight more characters to reveal before the release of the game on Feb 15. Below are the trailers for Haggar and Phoenix.

Happy New Years! - Angry Birds heading to your PS3's

Happy New Year to all!!

First post of the year! just like any normal being, we were busy getting drunk with our friends and families this Christmas and New Years Eve. Hope you all had a good one. We have a lot to post to come this week since we've been holding off to fix some issues in the TMG blog. Now something I just noticed when coming home.....

Those pissed off birds from your iPod is migrating to the Playstation Network tomorrow, followed by a European release the following day.

Angry Birds was originally released December of 09' for the iPhone and it managed to bring out a whopping 50 million downloads globally. It has loads of challenges and great replay value. I have it on my iPod and it can be quite the time killer. No idea yet on how much it will come out but be sure to check it out in the PSN store.

Gran Turismo 5 gettiing more premium cars

More planned updates left and right for Gran Turismo 5. A few weeks ago the game was patched with online mechanical damage to avoid childish drivers ramming other players. Now, GT 5 designer Kazunori Yamauchi tells Japanese magazine Famitsu that future updates will include increasing the number of premium cars in the game. The designer did not specify any date on when these updates are coming but heck as long as their on their way, we are happy.

Premium cars provide a detailed cockpit view, and also feature a more detailed car compared to the standard cars. With this many planned updates, yes its great for us players but you wonder that six years of development is still not enough to finish Gran Turismo 5. Yes it feels unfinished in my end. My review of the game is coming up soon so watch out for that.

More updates, Sony Entertainment today revealed that its giving away free DLC cars....but for japanese gamers. These Chrome line cars are a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640, a BMW M3 coupe and a Jaguar XJ13 race car. The Chrome Line cars were originally DLC in special editions of GT5. Now since its only in Japanese gamer who are lucky to get free awesome cars, ill see if i can get this free dlc by creating a Japanese account. I'm hoping the DLC is made for every version of the game since it was in the special editions.

These cars will be available free of charge for download between December 24 and January 31, 2011 via the PlayStation Store.

If you guy's were wondering that picture above is a shot of my Mazda RX - 8 07' in Gran Turismo 5. That is my main car for A - Spec races and it's just a great car. Used the Photo travel feature to take a shot of my Mazda.

Axl Rose Suing Activision

Axl Rose has just issued his most insane lawsuit yet, suing Activision for $20 million for Featuring Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle" in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Axl initially signed off on "Jungle" being used in the game, but on one condition: Do not put any music by Velvet Revolver, which boasts guitarist Slash (Rose's former bandmate and mortal enemy) in the game. Well, not only did "Guitar Hero III" offer a bunch of Velvet Revolver songs, they crowned Slash the game's spokesperson, featured him on the game's cover and made him a playable avatar. Cue Axl's lawsuit.

"[Activision] began spinning a web of lies and deception to conceal its true intentions to not only feature Slash and VR prominently in GH III but also promote the game by emphasizing and reinforcing an association between Slash and Guns N' Roses and the band's song 'Welcome to the Jungle,' " Rose's lawyer Skip Miller writes in the $20 million suit. Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" featured in "Guitar Hero II," and "Shackler's Revenge" from Axl's long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" actually debuted as a game-ending challenge in "Rock Band 2," so Rose isn't opposed to the use of his songs in music video games. This comes down to, once again, Rose's undying hatred of Slash. Oh Activision, you amuse me in the most ridiculous of ways.

Why would Axl's lawsuit arrive three years after the release of "Guitar Hero III"? The Amp likes to imagine that during a brief hiatus in the GN'R tour, Rose headed to his local Best Buy to get a jump on some Black Friday shopping. While pushing his cart down the discount video game aisle, he saw the box for "Guitar Hero III" with Slash on the cover and got perturbed. After purchasing the game along with the new deluxe "Avatar" DVD and Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday," Axl drove back to his home in the Hollywood Hills to see if GNR's music was in fact in the game, only to discover that he bought an XBox 360 copy of "GH3" and he only owned a Playstation 3 (lol). Down but not defeated, Rose then realized that he could simply go on Wikipedia to see the game's track list. And then he called his lawyer.

Rose also claims that the GNR song "Sweet Child O' Mine" was used in an online promotion for GH III despite being licensed only for GH II. He wants $20 million in damages from sales of the popular game.

Rumors:Eder Scrolls V in development, no official word yet...

Bethesda Games Studio is finally in works on a direct-sequel to the famous Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The last game, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was released in xbox 360 and PC in 2006 and was released on the PS3 a year later. No official word from Bethesda or any footage of the game but one thing is for sure, it's in development. Rumors say that in a few weeks they will work with voice actors for their characters.

It's been too long since the last Elder Scrolls and i can't wait what Bethesda has in store for us. If they introduce us with a new engine to run the Elder Scrolls world with less bugs ill be sold. They have been running on the same engine for quite awhile, tweaking it and using it in their Fallout Games. Again no official word from the developers but good to know its being worked on.
