Street Fighter IV More Retro Than Ever
When Street Fighter III hit the scene, we were largely treated to a new battalion of characters. As such, people started to suspect that when Street Fighter IV would finally arrive in our homes, we would once again have to learn the backstory of several new fighters. That may still be true, but for this […]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Final Character List
What you see here is a rumored screenshot from the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. If this leaked screenshot is to be believed, we will be treated to a total of 44 selectable characters for SSBB, including favorites like Sonic the Hedgehog. Unfortunately, the shot makes no mention of […]
Mario and Sonic at the Super Smash Games
Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii is just around the corner, so what better way to celebrate that with some real gameplay footage featuring two of the most iconic video game mascots of all time? The clip starts out with an epic battle between Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario the Plumber, […]
Tekken 6 Gameplay Video: Asuka vs Hwoarang
It’s inevitable that at least one game from the Tekken series will make it onto any list of the top 10 best fighting games of all-time. Speaking for myself, I really enjoyed Tekken 5 (also Dark Resurrection), largely because I thought the Raven character — who looks just like Blade, except slightly more ninja-fied — […]
Ryu from Street Fighter IV - Why Penis Why?!
Street Fighter IV was officially announced earlier this year and we spotted some leaked screenshots shortly afterward. The artwork looked pretty epic, but now that a few more images have become available, we’re starting to get a little disappointed with the direction they’ve taken with Street Fighter IV. Nowhere is this shift more apparent than […]
Mega Man in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Even before the system ditched the Revolution moniker in favor a name that sounds a little too phallic, the most highly anticipated Nintendo Wii game that had everyone buzzing was Super Smash Bros. Brawl. We were hoping that we’d be super smashing and brother brawling this holiday season, but Nintendo has delayed […]
Live Action Street Fighter Movie Stars Chun-Li
It’s not the first live action Street Fighter movie and my guess is that it won’t be the last either. Even though it wasn’t the best flick I’ve ever seen, I couldn’t help but watch that other live action Street Fighter movie, the one starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel Guile. They totally f*cked […]
Video Games’ First Confirmed Transsexual
Final Fight is widely applauded as one of the world’s greatest side-scrolling beat ‘em ups. Who could forget Guy, Cody, and Mayor Haggar? One of the bad guys from that game, and I use the term “guy” loosely, is Poison. By and large, people assumed that Poison was a girl, because she had long pink […]
Ryu is Only the Second Best Street Fighter Character
I know. Some of you are going to write this post off as blasphemy, because there’s no way that Ryu plays second fiddle to anyone. After all, he is the main character of the Street Fighter series and he’s easily the most recognizable character from the franchise. He’s always been a man of very few […]
Why Guile is the Third Best Street Fighter Character
When it comes to fighting games, it’s obvious enough that Street Fighter II, in all of its incarnations, is easily the best of the best. It’s the standard on which every other fighting game is judged, despite (or possibly because of) its innumerable glitches. And Guile was right in the middle of the glitchiness […]
