Let’s face it, if you played Daigo Umehara in Super Street Fighter IV you would lose. In fact, that is pretty much a universal statement. Outside of Daigo’s major competition, like Justin Wong, is there anyone that stands a chance against The Beast? How about Yoshinori Ono, father of Street Fighter himself? Yeah, no, not [...]

Two years ago, Valkyria Chronicles, a random tactical war simulator by SEGA, became an instant cult classic among the, at that time small, demographic of PS3 owners. Valkyria Chronicles 2 is attempting to do the same, with the arguably smaller demographic of PSP owners. The game makes some much needed changes to the gameplay system, [...]

I’m very fortunate to have a public forum in which to get on my soapbox from time to time, especially when my beef is as vastly inconsequential as the particular target of my ire this week. But herein still lies a cautionary tale, so listen and take heed. We all know that the very nature [...]

…and so man created the rocket jump, and it was leet.

Here is yet another update on the PS3 Homebrew front. While Sony awaits its court date with the makers of the PS3 Jailbreak, an independent group of hackers has released the code of the Jailbreak to the public. This code, entitled the PSGroove, is really nothing more than pre-compiled hex-code that you can dump onto [...]

Let’s add some more fuel to the rumor fire. Recently it was revealed that Sega had reserved the domain name valkyria3.jp, leading many of us to believe that a Valkyria Chronicles 3 was on its way. Well, now we have even more rumors to chew on, as Sega has created one of the oft hated [...]

Clash of the Titans was enjoyable for the soda-swilling, pop-corn-gobbling summer blockbuster that it was. No, you probably didn’t walk out of the film feeling intellectually enriched with a newfound respect for Greek myth, but chances are you weren’t bored during one minute of the kraken-fest. Of course, for those of you who were foolish [...]

A while back we got the first screen shots of the new Super Street Fighter IV arcade test, and we saw something pretty interesting. On the character select screen there were two new blanked out spots that pretty much served as a dead giveaway that new characters would be coming (possible DLC characters for the [...]

Ryan Reynold must have had the worst kink in his neck after making this film

A month ago my wiimote broke. Now, a Wiimote is only forty dollars so I bought a new one, but I admit I took the whole thing apart, fiddled with the insides, and hoped I could fix the damn thing because I really didn’t want to spend the extra forty dollars. Well, it appears as [...]

More news on the PS3 mod chip front. While homebrewers everywhere are waiting for their chance to unlock their PS3’s with nothing more than a simple USB stick, Sony is desperately searching for ways to delay the sale of the product. The USB stick called PS3 Jailbreak, or at this point X3 Jailbreak, supposedly unlocks [...]

I’ve been ranting on the decline of Japanese gaming for a while now. Where are all the good JRPGs? Heck where are all the good Japanese action games? I’ll tell you where, nowhere. The American market has surged forward with advances in the FPS and open-ended RPG genre, and for some reason it just doesn’t [...]

It’s been a while since we last saw a sign of progress on the Bioshock movie. It’s been a bumpy road with staff changes aplenty but it has never once been canned. Bioshock designer Ken Levine assures gamers everywhere that the film still has a future. In fact, he says that he himself is currently [...]

Via Twitter, the official medium through which celebrities post trite witticisms and banal gossip, comes some relatively meaty information on John Cusack’s latest film. Here is what the Grosse Point Blank star had to say: “officiali-will play Edgar Allan Poe in fall-a-film called The Raven, send any Poe- gold – my way as i begin [...]

He may specialize in winning but that doesn’t mean that Roger Federer’s focus is practicality.
