If they did it it will be a new version where if you wanted to play that you'd get the new PS2. The older games will probably be mapped to motion controls on the new controller.

1.) The rumors are exciting. Id like to see them all come true...

2.) Mortal Kombat Wii score = ouch

3.) Somebody tell me which version of the Darkness is better already!!! X360 or PS3

4.) Crush wasnt even on my radar? Game of the month what? (runs to see what the hell crush is)

I'll pass on commenting on the wand+PS2 thing, as it sounds like prime flamewar material.

Can someone tell me about the Havok engine though? Sounds interesting, as physics have always played a large part in Smash Bros.



Except for the PS2 waggle, all of those rumors seem credible.

Scores seem good. Crush looks like a great game, but I doubt it will sell too well. It just isn't on too many peoples radar. 



Havok engine is a great physics engine that is being used in games that really emphasize realistic and effective physics in a game so this use in Brawl would be very welcome and add a nice touch to the game.

EGM = Nintendo haters. I wont waste my time on publications with no credibility.

 PSP platformer/puzzler game that sells poorly because people don't buy experimental games :(

If you have a PSP get it, it's challenging and really different from any other game I've played on the PSP.
