03.09.10Super Street Fighter IV: Hakan is here…
As is typical of the internet, Hakan, the tenth and final (?) character to be added to the cast of Super Street Fighter IV, was debuted a couple days earlier than expected. IGN’s Daily Fix posted the debut trailer earlier this evening and all I can say is wow. I don’t think that now is the best time to get into what I think about Capcom’s design philosophy for this title, but I am interested to see what you folks think.

Street Fighter news/ community blog Event Hubs updated last night with some exciting news concerning the existence of 4 extra characters yet to be revealed for Capcom’s update to Street Fighter IV. As many of you know, Event Hubs was one of the first sites to reveal the leak for the character list/ change details late last year for Super Street Fighter IV, and so far that rumor list has been spot on.

07.07.09Nostalgia: In retrospect, Alon’s Always Wrong
Recently, Alon posted an article about playing old games and peoples’ apparent inability to refrain from buying shitty games like Golden Axe, Streets of Rage 2, (none of which I think suck BTW) and TMNT: Turtles in Time. Now, I am sure we all know that the TMNT:TIT remake is not out yet. Assuming the game is trash despite the fact that the game play has changed a bit, and considering it’s based on arguably one of the better arcade brawlers I have ever played, is a little short-sighted.

- Gaming, Porn, & Synergy: Playboy does Bayonetta (poorly)
January 30, 2010 | 12:10 pmJust as American Idol attracts a subset of “singers” who have no business performing in public, Playboy is inundated with audition photos from women who simply shouldn’t be seen in public. Those are the girls Playboy puts in gaming shoots.
But there’s a more important question to be asked. Push yourself past the apparent fact that [...] - Porn & Pong: Mass Effect was a step in the right direction.
October 5, 2009 | 2:32 pmA month ago, when I was at PAX, I picked up a fun little book entitled Porn & Pong: How Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and Other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture By Damon Brown. As the title suggests, it was about how the game industry intertwines with the Larry Flint and Hugh Hefner’s naked [...]
- Batman=DDR: Quick Time Events done Right.
October 2, 2009 | 5:13 pmGameinformer.com went live several days ago, and with it came a feature about tidbits in Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Asylum. The short feature talked about some of the smaller details about the game that are largely overlooked; like where the sound effect for the explosive gel came from. Out of all of these, one tidbit caught [...]

- Will Wright says the Wii is a toyIconic game designer Will Wright has described the Wii as more of a toy than a gaming console, and believes the system should be considered as such. Before you get your torches and pitchforks though, bear in mind that he doesn't mean that as a bad thing. "I think the Wii is a very unique platform, and that's kind of its core valu […]
- GDC 10: Why gaming veterans are flocking to social gamingThe names Brenda Brathwaite, Brian Reynolds, Noah Falstein and Steve Meretzky may not be instantly recognizable, but their gamemaking pedigrees are more than enough proof of their service to core gamers. Meretzky created, among other things, the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy computer game alongside Douglas Adams. Brathwaite started her c […]
- GDC 10: Transformers: War for Cybertron meets my eyeWhat if you were to build a full-on third-person shooter from the ground up, with the controls and action that you're used to, and then work the world of Transformers on top of it? That's exactly what they did with Transformers: War for Cybertron. This way, the design focus was on control, and the end result of this is a game with thi […]

- EA Sports Active 2.0 coming to PS3, snubs Xbox 360Well, the console wars are officially over. Electronic Arts has announced that cynical "me too" fitness game, EA Sports Active 2.0, is coming to multiple platforms, but will skip the Xbox 360 for some reason. The Wii, PS3, and even iPhone are getting a version, but Microsoft has been left in the cold. The PS3 version looks like it […]
- Yggdra Union prequel announced for PSP, Blaze UnionIf you like obscure Japanese strategy RPGs, then you best dust off your PSP. Atlus is publishing a new SRPG that acts as a prequel to Yggdra Union called Blaze Union: Story to Reach the Future. Yes, that sounds like the kind of name a Japanese SRPG would have. Blaze Union will have players step into the boots of female warrior Garlot, a red-ha […]

- Why did nobody tell me about Flip's Twisted World?Okay, this is a game I have not seen before. It's a game many people have not seen before. This makes no sense whatsoever, as it looks exactly like the kind of game that should be slapping Wii owners in the face and demanding their attention. Flip's Twisted World has an open platforming design and visual style that draws out memo […]
