Capcom has announced that they will be revealing some of the new characters to be in Street Fighter IV this Friday. They could be revealing totally new characters, or they’re just revealing the characters that have just been revealed in the latest Famitsu. Chun-Li, Zangief, Blanka, Guile, Dhalsim, and E. Honda are all set to […]

So, online worlds that you don’t have to actually pay to access (like the pictured Habbo Hotel) - they’re still pretty big! And this GameSetLinks leads off with FreeToPlay.biz’s look at what might stop them getting bigger.
But, let’s be honest, dabbling and then microtransacting is probably going to carry own growing (perhaps not quite […]

Rumortoid Smash: Conker, Jade Empire not coming to 360, I’m also bad at math
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Recently, we brought word that Xbox titles Conker Live & Reloaded and Jade Empire may be making their way to Xbox LIVE Marketplace in the form of Xbox Originals.

Here we are again at that funky time of the afternoon when you’ve already had lunch, but dinner is still a bit off. You’ve got to eat something in that 3pm time slot. Too bad we can’t put the chomp on one of these […]

Xbox Originals is getting better: Ninja Gaiden, Black, Pirates! coming next week
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Next Monday will see the release of Ninja Gaiden Black, Black (I’m sensing a theme here), and Sid Meier’s Pirates! on Xbox Originals.
All three titles will be 1200 Microsoft Points each, which is a surprisingly good deal considering that a used copy of Ninja Gaiden Black from a brick and mortar store is more expensive […]

[Yes, I know GameSetWatch already ran one No More Heroes rave, but TimeGate Studios designer Steve Gaynor kindly donated this piece to Gamasutra, and I think it’s a good alternative critique of the game that’s been causing ruckus among gaming style geeks, so we’re running it here.]
At this moment I am experiencing the post-game […]

If you don’t know what the Monthly Musings are, go here and educate yourself.
This month’s Musings topic is a little something I like to call "Good Idea, Bad Idea." Basically, you take one or more individual gaming mechanics — double jumping, context-sensitive cover, dialogue trees, what have you — and discuss the merits or faults […]

WhatTheyPlay.com breaks down games for parents
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
ESRB ratings on videogames aren’t always enough for some parents. While a Mature rating is a clear indicator that a 7-year-old shouldn’t be playing the title, a Teen rating may have a full range of questionable content, and ESRB ratings don’t do a good job of conveying exactly what that content is.
WhatTheyPlay is a newly […]

Sony has just announced a lovely Satin Silver PS3 for Japan. It looks like the one we’ve been seeing in pictures all this time, ever since the system’s debut. This new one is a 40GB model, priced exactly the same as the other Japanese 40GB models: 39,980 yen (about $375US).
Knowing that this is priced exactly […]
