Thoughts on Last Nights Video Game Awards
The VGA awards were pretty pointless in my opinion. It was like one HUGE commercial… no… it was like all the mini product plugs formed to make one HUGE commercial like Voltron or some shit. They actually skipped the announcement of many important award categories (like best action game) and yet made us sit through awful Kid Rock and Foo Fighters performances. Also noted that there were...[Read More]

Street Fighter 4: First Screenshot Revealed
Things are looking up. The gameplay is strictly 2D so it wont be a Soul Calibur style 3D game which was my biggest fear. It appears that there will be 3D effects with a 2D playing field. The art style looks beautiful. I have always been more of a fan of the Third Strike visual style than the Alpha series. Dont get me wronf though I love the Alpha series. I just think the Capcom vs. SNK and Third s...[Read More]
