The year of the Tiger is just 12 minutes away as I bring you some more Super Street Fighter IV goodness. This time there’s a short animation of Juri, the new femme fatale tae kwan do user. You’ll see her kick the guts out of Chun Li as she fights off Guile and Cammy. Short and sweet, just hope they make a special animation like they did for Street Fighter IV. Well enjoy the short animation, Happy Chinese New Year to my fellow readers!!

For those celebrating Valentine’s Day tomorrow, have a treat with three of Super Street Fighter IV’s femme fatale, Juri, Chun Li and Cammy in glorious 3D inked animation.

The year of the Tiger sees Kratos bringing chaos and vengeance to the PS3, quite fitting I suppose. In this final chapter of the God of War series, Kratos leads the Titans on a war against the Gods of Olympus. Will the Titans finally triumph against their captors with the aid of the God of War? It’s up to the players to decide the fate of Olympus this time round. Till March, all we can do is enjoy the following trailer:

God of War III is a highly anticipated action game coming to the PS3 this March. Fans of the franchise have more to look forward to and do in this final chapter of the series. Kratos can now grapple and ram into hordes of enemies, illuminate dark areas of a room to reveal passages and doorways and even illuminate enemies in a dark tunnel to deal some smack down. Enjoy the featurette and be prepared as Kratos invades PS3s worldwide this coming March!

Alright folks, the latest english trailer for FFXIII is finally out!! Featuring a song by Leona Lewis. Can’t wait to play this game, which looks awesome just from the trailers.

It’s the new year of 2010 and I can’t help but get excited by this classic brawler, Street Fighter. We all knew that it was a matter of time before a sequel would be released, the only thing I did not anticipate was the naming convention, Super Street Fighter IV sounds like a lazy way of thinking up a new name for a game, but for this instance, I guess people don’t really care once the game gets fired up.

In this iteration Capcom has added 6 new characters, Juri, Guy, Cody, T-Hawk, Dee-Jay and Adon and at the same time adding new Super Combos to the existing cast of fan favorites. To whet your appetite, here’s a trailer of fights to come once Super Street Fighter reaches fighters world wide this coming March!

Batman Arkham Asylum 2

Fans of Batman and the more recent Batman Arkham Asylum game will be pleased to know that a sequel is in the making. From the ending sequence of Batman Arkham Asylum, we clearly see that there are loose ends to the story, which I assume this sequel will tie up. Not much is known other than a trailer, but you can register for more Batman Arkham Asylum 2 updates on the Arkham Has Moved site. Now sit back and enjoy the trailer:

Being a fighting game fan, one needs a weapon worthy of the fight. I’m lucky to have got my hands on one of these babies, may I present to you my Ultimate Weapon: Madcatz Fight Stick TE Collector’s Edition! It was quite hard to find one in our local stores, although it was pricey, bought it at RM680, I’d say I have no regrets.

The Ultimate Weapon

The stick is very sturdy and well built, precision is excellent and the Sanwa buttons are just a joy to push. Continue reading

The second circle of hell is lust, where people are punished for their obsession of sensual love, often tormented by being unable to reach their lovers even though they seem so near to each other.  The sinners are stuck reaching out to their lovers, but never able to touch or reach them or even being punished in solitude, doomed to be alone for all eternity. There is also a huge tornado in this circle which violently blows the tormented souls aimlessly as just how the power of lust would do to us.

“Those overcome by lust are punished in this circle. They are the first ones to be truly punished in Hell. These souls are blown about to and fro by a violent storm, without hope of rest. This symbolizes the power of lust to blow one about needlessly and aimlessly. In this circle, Dante sees Semiramis, Dido, Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Achilles and many others who were overcome by sensual love during their life. Dante is informed by Francesca da Rimini of how she and her husband’s brother Paolo committed adultery and died a violent death at the hands of her husband (Canto V).”

Watch the developer’s video for their disturbing rendition of this hellish circle:

I’m not sure whether PS3 owners should rejoice or sculk at the news as there are literally two sides to the matter, first are previous PS2 owners who would have already built up a considerable library of PS2 titles but may not be able to play them anymore for reasons such as their PS2 got busted and was hoping for backward compatibility on the PS3. Another side to things are for people who have never owned a PS2 and was hoping to get their chance at playing PS2 games on their PS3 through PSN downloads.

No matter what the case is, it would surely be good news for every PS3 owner to be able to play Dreamcast games Continue reading

We finally get to see the english version of the Final Fantasy XIII trailer, I’ve read that the voice acting is terrible but honestly it sounds quite alright to me. Maybe I’m just a bad judge of good and bad voice acting, but it’s still acceptable to me. Can’t wait for the game to release, looking good up till now. In the mean time enjoy the english trailer.
