Hi..

 WTF?

Mortal Kombat 8 will have some sort of DC crossover. Why? It's also rumored that the only thing that made the MK series popular, (blood) will be removed. So sorry Marvel fanboys, you won't be able to rip out Batman's spleen and feed it to him. This call for one more WTF?.

Xmas in March:

Despite being March, Nintendo is selling consoles like it's Christmas. The console is still sold out everywhere, and people are buying their games. Lots of them. With the always popular Mario Kart franchise releasing this month, and the possible Goliath known as WiiFit launching in May will they ever be stopped? Let's hope they use this money to fix the awful online experience known as Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Ricky Gervais in Grand Theft Auto 4 as himself

So, it looks like the original Office boss will be making an appearance in the new Grand Theft Auto game. Actually playing as himself. I'm pretty surprised considering the average 15 year old who will play it has no idea who he is. Dane Cook not available?

didn't you hear? Gta 4 is supposed to be more realistic. Meaning no dane cook when it comes to comedy. Maybe there will be a joke about him. Can't wait for this game.

GTA is a very American franchise, which makes me wonder why Ricky Gervais would waste his time appearing in the game.

I remember reading rockstar is from london. And gervais seemed excited about it as he(going from memory) said "they captured the horror of it all" referencing his 3-minute stand up routine.

I didn't realize that GTA was big in the UK.  To me it always seemed like an American game.  Probably has to do with the violence or something.
