When I first saw the early gameplay footage of Street Fighter IV I was ready to start flipping in the air and do moonsault kicks in celebration, but then I remembered I couldn’t. I’m probably not the only one in saying that The World Warrior is my favorite installment of the Street Fighter franchise and seeing Street Fighter IV in action made me so excited because in many ways, it was like seeing a modern version of one of the greatest classic fighting games of all time. Still the question stood, could Capcom create a sequel that kept everything that makes a good Street Fighter game while still adding enough to the mix that would attract new fans? Thankfully they did almost exactly that in giving us a great new chapter in the Street Fighter saga. Read More...

Resident Evil Retrospect: Episode 3 It's that time again, to lead up to the release of Resident Evil 5 with more story and world background. Just to add to the first two that have come out. But on top of that, Capcom has also graced us with some extra images from the game show casing some of the villains and enemies. Some of which look really cool. Like say the "zombie" who's head is split open or the giant. Read More...

A little late is better than never.  The next batch of Wii DLC hit this past Monday with one Wii Ware title and one Virtual Console title.  There is a surprise wrapped up in the update this week if you're crafty enough to piece together the clues.  A good luck to all our super sleuths and to those who continue to have patience waiting for Earthbound to drop... Outer space meets inner space at the Wii Shop Channel this Presidents Day. A new WiiWare title will have you soaring across the astral plane, while a vintage NES shooter for the Virtual Console invites you to battle your way through the innards of an alien creature.

Yesterday, Valve began the unveiling process on their new Team Fortress 2 update adding new achievement weapons.  This time to the Scout class.  Quick and wiry, the scout is listed as an offensive class, but as anyone who has put time in the trenches will tell you, the scout can also be a formidable defense class.  With the new site in place, Valve plans to release a bit of new information each day.  For day 1, they released information on the new weapon to replace the bat, called The Sandman.

BlizzCon® 2009 Announced You remember the craziness of BlizzCon last year? The tickets going on sale and being sold out in minutes. The cool swag that people, who were able to go, got to walk away with. The cosplay. Well there is some good news for those who didn't make it. Blizzard just announced the dates for the next BlizzCon that will be taking place in Anaheim. The 21st and 22nd of August. That is pretty much all that they have thrown out there, at least as far as solid full details. Read More...

What's scarier than a little 7 year old girl just absolutely tearing people apart? Nothing, that's what. FEAR 2, the true sequel to FEAR, comes to us from Monolith and is hands down one of the scariest games ever. Dead Space, Silent Hill, and Condemned are given a run for their money with Alma, the girl previously mentioned.The game starts out about 30 minutes prior to the ending of the first game and puts you in the shoes of Sgt. Michael Becket, a Delta Force member who was mentioned in the first game as apart of a team assigned to bring Genevieve Aristide and put her into protective custody, which is the first mission of the game.

Leaked info from anonymous people about Game Crazys Resident Evil 5 Pre-Order gift are now spreading through the internet, something that Capcom is supposed to announce on Tuesday.

Sega announced yesterday in a press release that their best selling tennis series Virtua Tennis will be hitting store shelves in May 2009, that includes on the Nintendo Wii.  Before you Wii owners (myself included) start dreaming of Wii Sports tennis, only more responsive and on a grander scale, I caution you that they have not released any information on how the Wii's "unique" controls will factor into the game mechanics.  I am a little frightened that the Vice President of Marketing, Sean Radcliffe, chose the "Court Games" as the feature he wished to highlight for the Wii.   The last thing this console needs is another mini-game affair attached to wagglefest main feature.

Gamer Valentines For The Season Sometimes us gamers are not the best at expressing the way we feel to those we stalk love. We can't all be Casanova. But we do luck out when Singles Awareness Day rolls around when someone else goes out of there way to hook us up with some great way to let that special prey one know. In fact, if you look below, I've complicated a small group of some game inspired cards that you can send while sitting outside of their home in your car thinking of that special person.

Blu-ray/videogame discs to be released for PS3 How many times have you seen a game come out that is either based on a movie or vice versa? Quite often. Companies like to milk things for all they are worth. No big news there. But what if you could by the Blu-Ray of the film with the game loaded on the same disk or within the same packaging? Would you pick that up instead? Well it looks like in the not to distant future, later this year, that may actually be a possibility for people who would love to have their films and play them too.
