Yeah, bring it. Another game for me to obsess over. It’s out in stores now so you know what time it is? Time to watch high-level play on youtube.com in the vain hope that someday I’ll be that good… that is until the next thing to obsess over comes out. To get started, check out HDstarcraft’s youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/HDstarcraft and get amongst it! Enjoy.

The man himself, Stan Lee, dated the game November 2. The first MMO to arrive on the PS3, I’m interest to see what kind of hype this is going to drum-up for these kind of games. A solid looking title, good enough as any to test the waters of MMOs on consoles. Here’s the new Comic-Con story trailer. It’s 6 minutes, so cache it you dial-up fiends. Thanks Game Trailers!

Straight outta Compton (aka Comic-Con) comes the seemingly crazy announcement of Street Fighter X Tekken. Think of it like the old Capcom Vs. SNK games, all on the Street Fighter 4 engine. We caught wind of this before the show, but in no way did I think it was going to be a reality. They sure did show me.

Capcom’s Comic-Con announcements weren’t only limited to the comic inspired. An Online version of their classic and extremely popular tournament game, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike was announced. No talk of rebalancing the game or even what system it’ll be for, only that it won’t be here in the near future. Looks like they are taking their time, and if you look at re-release of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, it should be a sign it’ll be done right. Personally, my skills are very limited at Third Strike so it’ll be nice to [...]

It seems Nintendo didn’t want to wait until E3 to unveil their new DS handheld.  Hitting Japan by March, 2011, the Nintendo 3DS will take advantage of 3D technology without the use of any glasses. It also plays all your old DS and DSi games. Using this technology without any additional peripherals is definitely the way to go. Interested to see the price and how 3D these games really are. I also wonder what is to become of the DSi [...]

I know most will flippantly refer to Sony’s new motion control device as the new Wii that we saw four odd years ago. But, you know what, I’ll give it a fair shake. Unlike Tony Hawk’s Ride, which I wrote off completely within minutes of seeing it, I would really like to, not only get my hands on it, but see what they will do with the tech. If they want to make some money back on mini-game collections, fine, [...]
