Mad Catz MLG TE FightSticks Are Here!

Mad Catz MLG TE FightSticks Are Here!

I dig Mad Catz FightSticks. I collect them. As I write this, I’m wearing one of my Team Mad Catz shirts. So when I heard Mad Catz was doing an MLG branded FightStick, I of course couldn’t wait to see what MarkMan and company had in store this time around. The result was a new take on the now classic TE stick, but is it an improvement or another wardrobe change?

Here Comes a New Challenger! Virtua Fighter 5 Returns!

Here Comes a New Challenger! Virtua Fighter 5 Returns!

It’s been a long time since I’ve dusted off Virtua Fighter 5, with all the other great fighting game franchises saturating the market these days. It’s hard to go back when we’ve seen new Guilty Gear, Smash Bros, Soul Calibur, BlazBlue, King of Fighters, Street Fighter, Marvel vs CapcomMortal Kombat, and others all make their way to home consoles since Virtua Fighter 5‘s home release. Even before we see the release of this entry, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, we’ll see another Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Street Fighter IV update, Street Fighter x Tekken (scheduled for Q1 2012), King of Fighters XII, and a few other potential contenders all fighting for your dollar. Don’t count Sega out, because Virtual Fighter still remains the king of technical fighting games and a refreshing alternative to over-the-top arcade style fighters. Check out the announcement trailer after the jump.

NBA 2K12 Is My First Sports Pre-Order In A Decade

NBA 2K12 Is My First Sports Pre-Order In A Decade

The last time I pre-ordered, lined up, or just plain old impulse bought a sports game on launch day was NFL 2k1 back in 2000. Last year I saw the hype for NBA 2k11 and after a few minutes with the game, realized that while my beloved NFL 2k series may have died off long ago, Visual Concepts is still cranking away on making the best baskethoops games in the world.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Is Not Taking You For A Ride

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Is Not Taking You For A Ride

It seems these days that forums are full of youngsters with a false sense of entitlement. Many are saying Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is overpriced, under delivers, and is a straight rip-off. I figure it’s time to sit down and look at the numbers and rationale behind the upcoming Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and put some of these complaints to rest.

Review – Fruit Ninja Kinect

Review – Fruit Ninja Kinect

Fruit Ninja is one of those simple, yet highly addictive iPhone games that people will play for hours on end and then deny even owning. For many people, myself included at times, it’s tough to admit when a casual game has its hooks in you. Halfbrick Studios wowed us with Raskulls during XBLA Games for the Holidays, but can Fruit Ninja Kinect, basically an iPhone port, hang with the likes of Bastion or Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet during the Summer of Arcade?
