Marvel vs Capcom Coming to XBL & PSN

Friday, May 1st, 2009

One of my all-time favourite fighters is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade and PSN soon… and if you’re a PS3 owner, you can download the demo already.

And to add to the nostalgia, Stan Bush’s “The Touch” is used in the trailer (which you’ll recognise from the Transformers animated movie soundtrack, and soon to be Transformers 2 soundtrack – though Stan Bush is doing a new version for the new movie).

Check out the trailer:

Street Fighter IV Review

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Title: Street Fighter IV
Genre: Fighting
Publisher: Capcom
Format: Xbox 360, PS3 (Coming soon to PC), Arcade

Rating: ★★★★☆

Chances are, you’ve already heard about Capcom’s legendary Street Fighter series – Street Fighter 2 was/is the benchmark for almost every 1v1 fighting game that exists today. If you haven’t, then you’re either not a gamer, or haven’t set foot in an arcade in the last 15+ years.

SF2 is quite possibly one of my favourite games of all time – it is (in my opinion) one of the most polished and flawless fighting games to date, even if it’s 2D. The game’s combo system and tactical gameplay makes it fun for beginners to pick up, and great for hardcore players to arrange tournaments around (which in turn makes for some amazing viewing).

Street Fighter 4 Gameplay

Now, being born at the tail-end of the 70s, I grew up as a gamer kid… and probably the most prolific game of my generation was “Street Fighter 2: The World Warriors” made by Capcom – this quickly became cemented as my all-time-favorite fighting game.

Capcom have been developing the 4th SF game in the series, with some awesome visual styles… and gameplayvideos.com has the first look of the new game in action. :)

So without further ado – here are some gameplay clips of what will most likely be the most popular fighting game of 2008:

And if those morsels weren’t enough for you, there’s another video of 1up’s exclusive SF4 Special after the jump. :) (more…)

Street Fighter: Dancer vs Baby

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Sorry – I had to post this just because its complete genius… :D

Its a video of a breakdancer doing a public display, and accidentally kicking a small child – but some clever sod has added Street Fighter music and sound effects, which is total genius!

Check the video after the jump.
