The IGN d00dz received an early preview version of Street Fighter IV, and they immediately began dragon punching their collective brains out. Whadda they think?
"We don't have all the answers, but know this; in the weeks since receiving playable code of Street Fighter IV for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, there's been a countless number of nights spent in the office well beyond clocking-off time getting to grips with the nuances of the spiritual retread of what's arguably the beat-'em-up genre's finest hour, and inarguably its most fondly recalled."
For anybody who has kept their head buried in the sand through the New Year, you might want to hear about a little game called Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. It's kind of a big deal.
This Gametrailers review is a good run-through for a casual audience. HD Remix is an amazing package for anybody that already likes Street Fighter, but it's also a great intro to what it really feels like to play head-to-head for anyone new to the series. Give it a shot and see what it is that's created so many Street Fighter nuts across the world and got everybody all excited again this year.
Long-time Unity buddy Raymond Padilla has just joined the swelling ranks of G4 geniuses, which has entailed (yet another) move for him. Ray is clearly sad and lonely and needs to make some new online pals -- why don't you be one of them? Ray's gonna be hanging on LIVE today from 4 to 6 PM PST, playing some delicious Street Fighter II Uno. Head over to Rey's blog on G4 and drop yer Gamertag to get in on the card battling madness.
Merry/Happy! The Japanese website for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li has posted a trailer for the upcoming flick. Witness Kristen Kreuk flip-kicking baddies and catching a sword between her palms, Michael Clarke Duncan smashing fools, a little Vega action and the barest hint of a hadouken.I'd drop the trailer here, but there's no easy embed code to snatch and I am quite bad at this whole internet thing. Instead, head over to the site and watch it yerself!
Unboxing tech products may not be the absolute nerdiest porn on the internet, but it's at least gotta be up in the Top Three (Dearest Community: this is not a challenge, please do not send me your sketchy collection of weird/distrubing links, as it will only make me banhammerize you). The boyz from Mad Catz -- where all S's are Z's -- have just popped their own unboxification video onto the YouTubes, showing off the high-end Tournament Edition of the FightStick. Trust me when I say this product is rad -- to the MAX!!1 Seth has been chomping at the bit (not champing, but chomping, like a pirhana flower from a Mario game) to post his thoughts and impressions on the Mad Catz controllers for some time now, but he's been put on hold 'til January. Until he's given the green light to shower praises on the pad and sticks, feast yer peepers on the tantalizing hint of controller greatness above. And for the hundreds of thousands of you already cracking out on Super Turbo HD Remix -- thanks and Merry Xmas, by the way -- you're going to want one of these, too.
