If you look hard enough, and with enough luck, you might be able to find aStreet Fighter IVarcade cabinet in your area. But if you’re able to’t simply be bothered to travel, Capcom’s got you covered. The console ports ofStreet Fighter IVwill hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 17. We’ve been playing a preview build of the console games this past week, and we’re finding that our 2D fighter competitive spirit has once again been reawakened....
Good news everyone!Supremacy MMA, the new contender from 505 Games, has made its way to retail today. Bypassing the licensing and professionalism of UFC,Supremacypromises brutal, unsanctioned MMA action in a “fast arcade style.” WhileUFC UndisputedandEA MMAopt for a slower, simulation style game, attempting to emulate the Pay-per-view experience,Supremacyis shooting for a more raw, carnal game which, let’s be honest, beating the hell out of another guy should be far from sterile and structured....

It’s Friday, which means there’s an update forStar Wars: The Old Republicover on theofficial site.Today’s update focuses on the animations behind the combat sequences. Mark How, principal lead animator over at BioWare Austin goes into detail about the animations and expectations behind lightsabers clashing and taking cover as a Smuggler or Imperial Agent. One of the more important quotes that I saw was: “A key aspect we learned early in development was that players do not enjoy having character control taken away from them because of an action or animation....
I might be the only one excited about the prospects of Windows Phone 7. Sure, it’s nothing like the current offerings of Apple and it’s wunderfone, but it is a fresh and exciting new way of doing mobile computing. One of the major tricks up it’s sleeve is the addition of full XBLA titles that will be incorporated into the Xbox Live family with full achievements and gaming on the go....
If you want to truly define the term ‘biased,’ perhaps you might want to take a look at ITV executive Michael Grade, who has made the ridiculous claim thattelevision is morally superior to videogames. The boss of one of Britain’s least entertaining TV stations has stated that because you sit and watch TV, it somehow makes it more moral than interactive entertainment. I don’t quite get the logic, since it’s akin to someone saying bicycling makes your nipples larger than driving does, because bikes have a handlebar....
Trinewas slated to hit PSN on a glorious summer day in July 2009. Judging by the dust on our PS3s and GameFAQs-like fury across a few message boards, we can confirm that it didn’t make its window. There’s a reason why. Blame the lack ofTrineon testers, physics, “unlimited gameplay possibilities,” and, uh,smallbugs. Frozenbyte’s CEO Lauri Hyvarianen pegged the above issues as the reason for the delay in a recent interview withGameSetWatch....
While I have no intention of ever owning another PSP no matter how much more beautiful the display may get on new models, I always enjoy seeing the limited edition ones that come packed with bundles. ThePatapon 2Winter Gift Pack (no design on that one, just a white PSP) andDissidiabundles were spotted at the Tokyo Game Show, along with theGundam PSPwe told you about last month. Prices, you say? $238 for thePatapon 2model, $248 forGundam vs....
As promised, here is Destructoid’s attempt to “review” the various parties of this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Some might think that doing so would be a bit tasteless, as these are usually private events, but people come to expect this kind of tastelessness from Destructoid, so we won’t disappoint. Yes, we’re the type to “kiss and tell.” To be fair, the various parties that the Destructoid TGS team attended were all fun, but we quickly noticed the differences between them....
The above video, as well as the two after the jump, show off a match in the upcomingMetal Gear Onlinedirect from the current Tokyo Game Show. While the clips don’t reveal a ton of new information, they do show off a gorgeous rendering engine, a seemingly infinite draw distance and, yet again, the awesomeness that is OctoCamo.Obviously the big draw for Konami is going to beMetal Gear Solid 4— the series has always relied on a story that, while at times confusing as hell, is one of the finest in the industry — butMetal Gear Onlineseems like it’s shaping up nicely, and should draw fans of bothMetal Gearand online death match....
While the Thai government is on a self-serving morality crusade followingthe murderof a cabbie blamed spuriously onGTA IV, they have exposed themselves as dirty common criminals themselves. The Thai Ministry of Healthissued a listof the top ten most violent games, but neglected to note that the list wasfilthy plagiarism. Here’s Thailand’s list of dangerous games: 1-GTA2-Man Hunt3-Scarface4-50 Cent – Bullet Proof5-3006-The Godfather7-Killer 78-Resident Evil 49-God of War10-Hitman And here’s Detroit Prosecutor Kym Worthy’s list of the ten most violent games, issued last December:...
Today when Sony Online Entertainment officiallyannouncedThe Agency, an espionage themed MMO for the PC and PlayStation 3, I was stunned. Not by the concept — it’s about time more MMOs start shedding the wizard and troll formula of old. I was also not stunned by the game’s visuals — it looks polished and competent enough alongside other next-gen offerings, so there’s no surprise there. In fact, I wasn’t even surprised about the announcement of the game itself, as it’s been mentioned more than a few times in multiple print videogame magazines prior to today....
