If the 15 minutes of Netherrealm's Injustice fired up your appetite for fighting game footage, these videos from last weekend's EVO 2K tournament should hit the spot. Players from all over the world headed to Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, with some truly dazzling skills on display. Here are some videos of the final match-ups, courtesy of IGN.
At last!
In a move that made at least one Push Square staff member a little too excited, SEGA has announced it's to re-release legendary SEGA Saturn game NiGHTS into Dreams on PSN later this year. The download will come with enhanced HD graphics, 16:9 widescreen support, leaderboards and Trophies, or you can relive the original 32-bit experience in the Saturn mode. In an extra nugget of fan service, SEGA chose to make the announcement on the 16th anniversary of NiGHTS' Japanese launch. The first screenshots are below, with a trailer to follow soon.

To prove this news isn’t a dream itself, check out the first official NiGHTS trailer online. “The SEGA Saturn offered many unique gaming experiences, and NiGHTS into dreams stands out as one of the most recognisable titles that found a home on the system,” said Chris Olson, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA. “We’ve gotten a lot of requests about this game over the years, and are very happy to be able to give both former Saturn owners and new players a
chance to play it in its most beautiful form to date this autumn.” Initially released for SEGA Saturn in 1996, NiGHTS into dreams is one of the best-regarded games in SEGA history and a favourite of many fans thanks to its innovative 3D gameplay and multi-faceted level design. This new version will bring Nightopia to vivid life with improved HD graphics and a 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as added support for leaderboards, trophies, and achievements. It will also feature an optional Saturn Mode that will let players experience the game with the original graphics intact.
Also, anyone who wants artwork from NiGHTS just put the CD in your computer. I'll stop tweeting about NiGHTS... soon.
If you love NiGHTS like I do, or just want to know what it is, I wrote a feature on it for @PixelNation1 - http://t.co/9zviKj5G
Today is NiGHTS' 16th birthday too, so great timing for the announcement. Love you @SEGA.
Literally rolling up my sleeve’s for this week’s Nintendo Download. It’s massive!
Straight to the top
Sony's fantastic physics-bending Gravity Rush hit Vita in late June and easily walked away with our Game of the Month award. As our Gravity Rush review explains:It's a game that defies expectations almost as frequently as the physical properties it’s built upon. A surreal narrative is complemented by genuinely ground-breaking gameplay mechanics, and while it’s not always flawless, it culminates in one of the most outstandingly original experiences of the year.A true must-have title for Vita owners, and one of the best PlayStation games of the year so far. Honourable mention: Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown.
