Capcom “Phones”-in Street Fighter IV Volt!

In true Street Fighter fashion, Capcom has released its latest iteration of the Street Fighter 4 mobile franchise with Volt. Keeping in line with Capcom’s strategies, heralded by way of console big brother, SF4: Volt features an updated and rebalanced version of the original game, alongside the addition of three new character (Balrog, Vega and Cody), and Wi-Fi supported online play. One might notice that nothing included in this new release truly warrants anything more than an app update, and if you noticed that… you’d be right!

I’m a huge Capcom fanboy, and I have no problem shelling out my hard-earn bucks to support the cause and all, but this one’s a little ridiculous. So far I’ve really not noticed a single improvement at all in Volt, in fact it’s actually quite laggy. Luckily, Capcom is putting on one of its weird sales, where each day the price goes up a buck till it caps at $6.99. So if you’re really that inclined you can pick it up for $1.99 today. Honestly though, unless your that much of a Vega fan, don’t bother. Pics after the jump…

TweetHouse/ Monster Retail Awards Gallery

So… back in January at CES, the Parnassus Group threw a little TweetHouse get-together, where we got the chance to hob-nob with Andy Dick and some other cool cats. Later that night we even got the chance to attend the Monster Retail Awards and see Earth, Wind, and Fire play live. Major props to staff writer Scott Meaney for the hook-up there.

We’ve talked about that night a lot on the podcasts, but since our GolgoGallery plug-in was broken (meaning I probably couldn’t figure it out), we didn’t get the chance to post pictures — until now. We had a killer time (and got some bomb-ass pictures) so we figured we’d still post them.

As a side note, this was the event where our “man with the plan” NamelessTed was spotted and featured on the Woot Blog! So give them a look-see after the break!
