Crumbs! The App store launched these 2 little gems yesterday. Firstly a port of the 1992 side-scroller X-Men, the arcade and then, the slightly more contemporary addition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Now I haven’t tested either of these first hand but from the looks of it, they’ll both be great if you know what … Continue reading »

The next Vs. game from Capcom and their second in partnership with Namco, Street Fighter X Tekken looks set to blend the tag-team elements of Tekken Tag Tournament with the controls and gameplay of Street Fighter IV. This is definitely a Tekken visits Street Fighter affair due to it being developed by Capcom. A Namco … Continue reading »
Another year, another Street Fighter IV version for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. This new release is based on the gameplay updates and new characters included with the Japanese Arcade version released late in 2010. There was originally never going to be an updated arcade version but seemingly due to the success of SSFIV … Continue reading »
“Give us more Arkham!” You demanded. And Rocksteady listened. But it wasn’t only you. For those of you who actually bothered to read my review of Arkham Asylum will have noticed we are just a little bit excited about the sequel to the multiple Game of the Year award-winning original. So much so that the … Continue reading »
On a Dark Night… OK, for the lazier among you I’m going to make this short and simple: buy this game. “Oh, but I don’t really like Batman/Games based on a comicbook” some of you say… Well, it goes beyond the usual cash in: buy this game. “But I don’t really like action or fighting … Continue reading »
Here Comes a New Challenger!! Quite possibly the best game available in the UK on launch day, Super Street Fighter IV manages to capture all the excitement and freshness of SFIV’s original release back in July 2009 on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
War… What is good for? Several multi-million dollar video game franchises, apparently. 2011 has been unofficially dubbed by certain cynical members of the video games press as “The Year of the Shooter”, not that 2010 was necessarily a dry spell, and sequels are looking to make-up the bulk of the pack. Why so many … Continue reading »
So all 10 additional characters are final announced. They are all varied and each either bring a twist to an existing character type or bring something completely fresh to the Street Fighter IV series. Read on further down the page to find out what you can expect from this fairly hefty update to SF4, my … Continue reading »
What a great tournament to watch. Not only were the players top-notch but the stream quality was amazing. This is the first time I’ve watched anything through Justin.tv and I was very impressed. There were hardly any streaming errors or pauses and when I lost the signal temporarily it carried on from where it left … Continue reading »
I Got Next is a fantastic documentary about the Street Fighter IV scene in America made by Ian Cofino. It is currently available as a short-cut, but a full length feature is in the works and is expected to hit in Spring 2010. This is something I’ve watched at least 4 times! As a fan … Continue reading »
Gootecks is hosting a Street Fighter IV invitational tournament tonight at 10PM. you can catch it live at TheStream.tv. 8 of the top players in LA (and America in my opinion) duke it out for $500 cash. The event is over but you can read my summary and the results here.
Ah, Street Fighter IV – probably my favourite game at the moment. I’m waiting to get an Arcade stick – and so haven’t played for a few weeks - as I think I’ve reached my limit on a controller. I can’t press the different buttons quickly enough with only my thumb. ;) Having only just … Continue reading »
