Super Street Fighter IV’s Last Character Revealed

2010 March 10

It’s Hakan. He is tanned. He enjoys using oil and hurting people. I’m so confused by Hakan, so I’ll let this video do the talking.

I really don’t know what to think of him. I’ll have to try him out for myself.

Let’s Talk Metro 2033

2010 March 9

posted by No_Style at 5:57 PM

One of the few ways draw me towards a game is an impressive game engine. A great looking (and running) console game speaks volume about the game as whole.

4A Games’ Metro 2033 definitely has the tech behind it, but what about the game? It’s a first person shooter with survival horror,  stealth and role playing elements. An ambitious array of elements to say the least.

It’s a post apocalyptic game where the people now live underground in the subway systems. It’s also based off a book of the same name. And did I mention it was made by Ukranians?

It’s such an interesting title for me and one that I will be “Power Trading” for tomorrow. Metro 2033 will debut March 16, 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PC.

Blur Is Pretty Slick

2010 March 3

I had my doubts with Blur when it was revealed last week, but after seeing it in motion in GiantBomb’s Quick Look and studio tour of Bizarre Creations, it looks pretty damn slick.

I believe Jeff Gerstmann described it as “Wipeout Zero” and I think that description is apt.

Screenshots don’t do it justice, but here are some anyways.

There’s an Xbox 360 beta happening soon and I would love to get in on that, but I lack a Gold account. Too bad. I’m sure a demo will be on its way though.

Blur is scheduled for May 25th, 2010 release for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Ibuki, Makoto & Dudley In SSFIV

Updated February 19, 2010 with screenshots

This was actually revealed a few days ago, but I didn’t want to drag magazine scans out and post them. I decided to wait for a more formal introduction to the returning Street Fighter III characters

Awesome.

Despite not being the biggest Street Fighter III fan, I welcome these additions since it adds to the history of Street Fighter franchise. Who knows? Perhaps I’ll grow an appreciation for these folks.

Mass Effect 2 Hype Activate!

posted by No_Style at 6:16 PM

Okay, if this Mass Effect 2 launch trailer doesn’t tingle the hype senses, then nothing will. It spoils the premise of the game a bit, but who cares! This is one of the best launch trailers yet.


Mass Effect 2 launches January 2010 for Xbox 360 and PC. For more information, visit the official website.

Final Fantasy XIII N.A. Trailer Is Alright

2010 January 13

posted by No_Style at 7:44 PM

The new Final Fantasy XIII North America trailer is out filled with CGI, drama and Leona Lewis. It also features English voice overs with proper lip syncing — that’s a big deal!

I don’t mind the voice acting. It’s not terrible. But that song? That tacked on song from Leona Lewis: I don’t care for it. It just doesn’t fit the trailer of thematically. I don’t know how it’ll be used within the game (probably for something sappy), but I hope it’ll be better than the trailer.

Final Fantasy XIII debuts March 9, 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
