Coming at you from EA Chicago is the latest in the series of urban/hip-hop infused fighting titles: DEF JAM: ICON (their capitalisation, not mine).

Here's what Kudo Tsunoda, executive producer and General Manager of EA Chicago, had to say about it:
'Music is the cornerstone of hip-hop culture so we wanted to incorporate music and rhythm into the actual gameplay mechanics. In DEF JAM: ICON, we are changing the way fighting games are played! We are completely innovating the role of the environments in the games, moving from the typical lifeless arenas the hip-hop celebrities are fighting in to environments that play an instrumental part in the fight where they will react to the music and interact with both characters like a third fighter.'

You can expect this title to appear for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 in March 2007. Whether or not it'll make to Australia remains to be seen, but in the meantime, enjoy 14 screenshots from the PS3 version.
