When I was younger, I dabbled in fighting games. First was Mortal Kombat on the Mega Drive – the attraction of the special moves and the gore getting me hooked for hours at a time. When the PlayStation came around, I then found myself in love with the cast of Tekken – I’d never seen a fighting game with such graphics, on a 3D plane, well, on a home console that is. The demo of Tekken 3 was included with [...]
When the original release of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 (or MvC3) was first announced I was pretty excited. It couldn’t have come out at a better time either as my love for fighters was in full swing (and it still is) and my love for Marvel comics was growing bigger.I was glued to every single announcement that was released but when the game finally came out, I felt a bit underwhelmed.
My love for fighting games was revived back in 2008 with the release of Street Fighter IV; the famous 2D fighting series was back, and I was loving it. Since then, I’ve been brushing up on my skills, and even though I’m not going to be as awesome as some of my friends it doesn’t mean that I’m unable to enjoy the overall gaming experience. After getting back into the Street Fighter series, I thought it would be a great [...]
Over the past couple of years I have been getting seriously into fighting games. I have Street Fighter IV to thank for this; I know I’ve said this before, but it’s true. Granted, I dabbled with Soul Calibur and Tekken before then… but Street Fighter was the clincher for me. Back on the Sega Mega Drive though, I did have a brief stint with Mortal Kombat. My friend had it and I would spend hours round his house playing the [...]
It’s been a little while since I last wrote about Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, but I’ve been closely keeping track of the news, so now I can present you something a little more substantial. So what’s the latest news?
Before I start diving head first into this rumour, I just want to say that I was a huge Tekken and Soul Calibur fan back before I religiously played Street Fighter. I loved Soul Calibur to bits and I still do. Now that I have a love for street fighter. To hear a rumour of a Namco Vs Capcom game, has got me just a little bit excited. But to hear a rumor about 2 Namco Vs Capcom games has [...]
A while back, Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars was a Wii game I was sure would never hit shores outside of Japan; but come Eurogamer we were told otherwise – somehow someone managed to convince the bigwigs that people outside of asia would actually like to see the new Capcom fighter, regardless if they didn’t recognise half of the cast. With a little help from Tatsunoko themselves, Capcom got past liscencing issues and granted us a chance to get our [...]
I’ve never been a huge fan of the concept of game “re-releases”, when companies release games at full price with new features I can’t help but wish the full thing could’ve been released from the beginning – especially with the DLC capabilities we have with this generation. So, unsurprisingly I was a little disheartened when I first heard that Super Street Fighter IV was to be a standalone game rather than a DLC patch; Capcom claimed that changes to the [...]

Yes its gonna be sold as a seperate disc in shops, but it will come with a nice surprise for any ofyou SFIV owners out there. interestin. It [...]
