Street Fighter Character Poll Needs Your Vote!
Capcom wants to know which 5 Street Fighter characters (from all of their past games) are your favorites. The results of the polling will be averaged out and used in their decision-making for future games, marketing and probably to violate us through DLC of some sort – who knows.
Polls will close on March 1, 2013 so be sure to get your vote in today.

Legend of The Lightning Legs – Chapter 1
Welcome to my humble tale of the life and times of one Chun Li of Capcom’s Street Fighter saga. I felt the want to do my own story after seeing many awful attempts at it by the powers that be. That being said, this tale is pure fan-fiction and isn’t meant to replace the canon (if there is one). The names I use for the characters are based off of the original Japanese Street Fighter, so Vega is the dictator, Mike Bison is the...
The NEOGEO X Gold Limited Edition is here!
Remember back in the day when the best system out there was the NEO GEO? Sadly the only people who had that system were the kids whose parents drove cars that cost the same as houses… you know who you are? Back then the system cost about $1,000 and the games were damn near $600 a piece or something ridiculous like that; but hell they were arcade perfect with top of the line graphics and sound.
Well collectors rejoice because...
Shadowgate Remake on Kickstarter – OMG!
Zojoi, the creators of Shadowgate are developing a new, epic version of the first-person fantasy adventure smash hit. Help make it happen!
Man I remember this game as if it were yesterday, actually I remember 2 things… the spell “EPOR” that I used to stiffen some rope and a beast known as the Behemoth who would burn me to cinders if my magic game was on suspect. This is nostalgia on overload folks and the developers are trying...
XCOM: Enemy Unknown – MASSIVE Review
I used to play the original 1994 version of X-COM: UFO Defense and it was such a fun game. The thing I remember the most about it was the difficulty in keeping your soldiers alive from mission to mission due to the surprises that the aliens would bring. You would get attached to one guy because he made it through 3 missions, deck him out in all the best gear and then a brand new alien with mysterious tech would shoot through a wall...
Finally Some Closure For My Mass Effect 3 Story
It was an odd bit of emotion for me as I watched the extended ending of Mass Effect 3 for my Shepard on a save that I kept sitting for this exact moment.
Editor’s Note: The following write-up is in detail of the end so if you haven’t beaten the game yet I must warn that there are spoilers to come.
When I first beat the game I chose synthesis as my decision for the universe because frankly I had personal feelings for...
What Warrants A Sequel To A Video Game?
What part of a game makes you beg and plead the developer(s) for a sequel? I often wonder this and I think about the great elements that a game offers and why I can’t get enough of it. The only way I could make sense of the question was through questioning each element and figuring out what was it that made me want more.
Is It The Character?
Considering that Final Fantasy was one of the best RPG’s to spout multiple...
In Memory of The Zombie That Started A Genre
Do you recall your first time playing Resident Evil? The original Resident Evil with the cheesy one-liners, terrible acting and that damned scary mansion?
I was in college at the time and had used my financial aid to purchase FF7 and Resident Evil (I ain’t ashamed… what?) For whatever reason I chose to play this title around midnight on a week night, opting for Chris Redfield and smiling in awe at my awesome PlayStation and...
The New Thundercats Rocks!
You don’t need sight beyond sight to know that this show kicks ass, just take my word for it. After finding out there was going to be a revamp of the old cartoon I came to grow and love as a kid, I thought it was going to suck, and that my fond childhood memories would be destroyed. Boy was I wrong.
Not only is the new iteration good, it’s better than the original, with a better story, amazing art direction, incredible...
No More Gimmicks for Soul Calibur V Please!
Don’t you just love NAMCO? While the company has hit a wall in terms of growth in their two popular fighters Tekken and Soul Calibur, the games that they do produce are normally of very high quality and fun factor.
With the growth that we look forward to as gamers, the problem lies more so with ourselves being that we have burnt out on every aspect of Tekken and Soul Calibur. Of course with the engine being what it is (not wanting...
