Some of the most pressing questions about this upcoming crossover fighting game were explained with the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe FAQ, but there is still a lot that leaves our heads scratching. If there are no fatalities in MK vs. DC, will it still have the same level of brutality? How can […]

Street Fighter IV Gameplay Video

The good news is that we’ve managed to find a gameplay video of Street Fighter IV. The bad news is that it’s not the official version coming up from Capcom. Instead, this is a totally pirated version developed by Gouder Co. and it was originally created for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

Super Smash Bros. Brawl TV Spot From Japan

The good news is that this commercial kicks some serious ass and it shows off some critical gameplay elements, like the inclusion of Nintendogs to occlude your vision.

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.
