Recently I reviewed a downloadable PS3 game called Girl Fight. It’s a 3-D fighting game with an all-women cast. Usually in fighting games, the female characters are more interesting than the guy characters. So it makes sense to make a whole fighting game with them. Unfortunately, while the fighting gameplay mechanics in Girl Fight are at least somewhat decent, the characters in the game are not very interesting at all. But that’s not going to stop me from writing about them anyway! Yep, this is a filler blog. You know I like to write about fighting game characters, even if I don’t know anything about them!
I said, ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?! Boy, I sure hope so, because I've got some video game tracks that will melt your face off! I'll admit that I'm relatively new to rock music, as I was raised on the music of the '40s, '50s, and '60s, but in recent years I've really learned to rock out. So I wanted to share some of that love to you, the listeners. Unfortunately, I couldn't fill a brandy glass with nothing but brown M&Ms, so Ozzy didn't go on. Sorry about that. Oh, and here's that amazing music video by Tomoyasu Hotei. Enjoy!
Well, we asked for some battle themes from the PixlBit community, and they responded with some amazing selections! Enjoy these ten scorching tracks that come from a myriad of different types of games, from cinematic action to RPG to platforming. Thanks to everyone that contributed to this eclectic mix tape, and for making Battle Themes Month a huge success!
If you enjoy fighting games, you probably know a little something about the EVOlution Championship Series. Even if you don’t, you might want to, as the tournament is not only entertaining to veterans, but also great for newcomers to see what kinds of fighting experiences are out there. This year in particular has a huge amount of variety, with NINE different games being played. Whether you’re into 2D fighters, 3D fighters, super heroes, or technical execution based games, there is something for everyone.
Urgh, after the con I had a few... problems, so i didn't get home till 12 at night.
So let's jump right into..If you have a backlog of games, the question is how many games do you have backlogged??
I had, hiiiiiiiigh hopes. I had, hiiiiiiiigh hopes...
An old 1up Blog till my Non-Review tomorrow
Welcome to another edition of Nerds Without Pants! No, this show isn't about an epic wrestling match between Antonio Inoki and Great Baba.This time, we revisit a topic that we talked about when we were still the Tri-Force crew on PixlTalk: Japanese games. Instead of rehashing material we take advantage of the fact that we’re nearing the end of the console cycle and grade major Japanese developers on their performance. Before that, we talk about what games we’ve been playing.
We’re at a point in time when a plethora of franchises from the early days of gaming are reaching major milestones. Just one of those storied game series is Street fighter, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary all year long. Capcom has already announced that they would be holding a global tournament series to mark the occasion, but Street Fighter fans and video game collectors will surely be much more excited about the newly announced Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set.
With the release of the free “Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition 2012” update out now, I’ve had the seminal fighting franchise on my mind. Every Christmas, I have a 100 match melee with my cousin to see who the greatest Street Fighter of the year is. It’s time to get back to training, but as my thumbs get back into fighting form a thought occurs to me: there are some characters that have yet to step up and throw down in the Street Fighter tournament. Who are these possible “New Challengers”, and what could they bring to the table that sets them apart from the already unique and diverse cast of characters?
Street Fighter 3 was released about 13 years ago. The game and its updates, Second Impact and Third Strike, were often overlooked in favour of the Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter 4 series. But true fans haven’t forgotten about 3rd Strike, and Capcom has taken notice. Thus we get Street Fighter 3: Third Strike Online Edition, which aims to be the premiere version of the game.
2010 has seen a wide variety of great titles released all throughout the year. There's no doubt that any shopper, familiar with games or not, could get confused by the selection alone. That's why we here at PixlBit have done our best to make it easy for you. We've picked out the best from 2010 (and just a couple from 2009) to help you figure out how to stuff a gamer's stockings.
