Starcraft 2 Is Here!

Matthew Griffin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:47:12 +0000

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.

Also check out Giant Bomb‘s Starcraft 2 unboxing and live (delayed now) streaming of the launch. Here’s a taste.

DC Universe Online Dated

Matthew Griffin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:53:59 +0000

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!

Street Fighter X Tekken Is Coming

Matthew Griffin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 03:01:00 +0000

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.

Now, I’ve never been the biggest Tekken fan, or even 3D fighting game fan (VF3: Team Battle 4Life) but the Tekken franchise did stand out as something I should take a closer look at. My limited experience with Tekken 5 and 6 was fun, but nothing really more than that. I thought, when Tekken 6 was released (and I got that sweet hoodie and giant box), here’s my chance! But alas, Street Fighter 4 took up any free time I had, fighting game wise. So really, this is a perect fit for someone like me. I still get to play SF4 and now I can have a crack at Tekken at the same time. They also through in some some Marvel Vs. Capcom (my other neglected fighter) tag-style combat so now they have a game that combines what I play and what I want to play.

And here’s the stuff you really want to see. The announcement trailer and some gameplay.

Thanks 1up.com and GameVideos, oh and Capcom.
