News has just reached us that Mortal Kombat II is making its way onto the US Playstation store, as reported by CVG. There's no news of a European release yet, but I'd be surprised if it didn't appear relatively soon. The game's debuting stateside on Thursday and will set gamers back $4.99. (That's about £2.45 in straight conversion, or probably about £3.50 to £4.00 if I had to guess at a UK price).

There was a recent charge by Denki games boss Colin Anderson that the Xbox 360’s equivalent service, the Xbox Live Marketplace, was full of “tired old products.” Perhaps so, but the truth is I quite like having the chance to catch up on some retro, over-the-top violence. Hopefully it’ll appear along with Stardust HD in the European stores soon at a reasonable price.
