Above: The following video MAY reveal the ending for StarCraft II. But even if it’s a fake, it sure is convincing
A rough animatic for a lengthy cut scene has just surfaced on the internet, and many StarCraft II fans believe it is for the final cutscene for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. It’s possible that this is all just a hoax, a well-made fan video from someone looking to play a prank on the world. But even if the video is a fake, it sure is convincing. Placeholder voice acting, the occasional cut to a story board sketch, and the time lines all make the rough cut scene seem legitimate. DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER if you are worried about potentially spoiling the campaign for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm… … -

On the downside, that means we’re not hosting it any more. On the plus side, that means it was clearly legit and not a fan-made hoax. And honestly – this is the internet. You can buy a human liver on the web. We’re thinking you can still find this vid if you look hard enough.] …

Marvel’s merry mutants make Xbox Live Marketplace bow December 15, land on PlayStation Network December 26.
It has been 18 years since Konami’s six-player X-Men first hit arcades, and now the game is finally ready to come home. In an interview with GameFocus, a Konami representative confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of the game will launch December 15, with the PlayStation 3 edition available starting December 26.
As in the original arcade game, players will get to pick from the mutant supergroup’s roster and take on Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to save the world. The game features Cyclops, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Dazzler as playable heroes and features a veritable army of villainy, including the Sentinels, Pyro, Blob, Mystique, and Juggernaut.
X-Men: The Arcade Game will support up to four in local multiplayer and a full six-player complement in online action. The game will also support leaderboards and arcade-style drop-in multiplayer online, so friends can join in at any point. Additionally, players hosting games online can set the number of allowed players, the difficulty, and the starting level to tailor the experience to their tastes.
The port is being handled by Backbone Entertainment, which has considerable experience making downloadable versions of old games. The Emeryville, California-based studio has previously released downloadable versions of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. It also developed Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection, a compilation of 40 games from Sega’s 16-bit system, for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
