Midway has announced four more characters that will be filling out the cast of the upcoming Mortal Kombat Vs. DC, including three somewhat expected characters and one coming right out of nowhere. On the MK side of things, Raiden and Kano will both be joining the fray and keeping the bad guy to good guy ration intact. And the DC side is getting Wonder Woman and…Deathstroke? Huh? That’s kind of odd to have him joining the ranks of such villains as Catwoman and the Joker. Midway also sent along a new batch of screenshots showing some of the characters revealed awhile back in action, such as the Green Lantern and Liu Kang. I have to say though, I think I’m going to have the most fun playing as the Joker. Just the fact that he keeps smiling no matter how bad of a beating he’s getting makes a pretty fearsome foe in my opinion.

We knew that Valve was making character trailers for all the classes in Team Fortress 2, but I don’t think anyone expected something quite like this. Their latest in the “Meet the…” series of videos introduces us to one of the Heavy’s new power ups instead, and it’s a…sandwich? Yes, it seems this sandwich can be eaten for a 120 health points, giving you a nice edge in battle. And that edge apparently comes in the form of breaking spines. Enjoy.

Sony’s recent announcement that all the peripherals for future music games (Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero: World Tour, and Rock Revolution) would be compatible with each title elicited many sighs of relief among the gamer crowd. But it still the left one question hanging in the air: what about the Xbox 360? Well, that question has now been answered quite simply over at Microsoft’s Gamerscore blog, where they say quite simply, “For the record, we also do that, so consider this an official announcement.” Do you feel that? That’s what it feels like to not be pumped for cash at every opportunity for a change.

Over on the Neverwinter Nights Forums, BioWare has given the word the Jade Empire Special Edition is now available for the Mac.
