I tell ya, Capcom sure knows how to throw a party. They celebrated the launch of Super Street Fighter IV just a few weeks ago in LA with a big launch party filled with things like black eye face paint, free pizza, a DJ on the wheels of steel and Final Fight Double Impact soundtracks on cassette tape! Never mind the fact that there were a bunch of arcade cabinets with Super Street Fighter IV on them, I wanted to get my picture taken with Hakan in the green screen booth! Well, the game is out now and the party is over! Sure we all get to play Super Street Fighter IV now but that pretty much shuts the door on anymore Super Street Fighter IV parties. Man, that pizza was good. Hit the jump to see the review of the game!

I have to be honest. I was completely clueless when I first saw footage of Alan Wake. I didn't know what kind of game it was, I didn't know if it was based on something or not, I just knew that it looked amazing. Just from the trailer that was shown at last year's E3, I saw some very impressive looking lighting effects, especially for a game that was coming out exclusively for the Xbox 360. I got to spend time with the final build of Alan Wake; hit the jump to see how this unique title turned out...

It just won't stop! To be honest... I don't think anyone wants it to stop! Face the facts, Mega Man is freakin' cool and if you don't like him then you suck! Mega Man 10 brings us back (once more) to the good ol' days of the NES. Hit the jump to see the review. You might be surprised to see who shows up in this installment of Mega Man.

The sequel to one of the first Wii launch titles launches again by being the first 3rd party game to require use of the Wii MotionPlus. With lots more time to really polish the series, Ubisoft's Red Steel 2 "wowed" us at E3 last year. Hit the jump to see the review!

REVIEW: God of War III

I have always loved the God of War series and the last God of War on PS2 left us with a cliffhanger in the story. Since then Sony has been teasing the crap out of us with God of War III screen shots, trailers, press releases, and all kinds of other stuff except for the actual game itself. E3 '09 showed off a very pretty demo which was then made available on PSN a few months later. But a demo of God of War III is not really God of War III!

Finally, God of War III has hit store shelves and Kratos fans everywhere are getting their fill of their favorite, bloody, vengeful, tormented, family-friendly Spartan! Hit the jump to see our review of God of War III.

Like in any fighting game featuring characters that fly around, can lift busses, fire out huge energy blasts from their hands and have color changing hair, Dragon Ball Raging Blast gives Xbox 360 and PS3 owners a new reason to pick up their controllers and beat the living hell out of eachother (in the game, not with their controllers).
