WithStreet Fighter X Tekken,Tekken Hybrid,Tekken Tag Tournament 2,Tekken Blood Vengeance,Tekken X Street Fighterand both aNintendo Wii Uand 3DS version ofTekkenon the horizon it’s amazing that Harada-san hasn’t imploded from the amount of pressure on him. Saying the man has a lot on his plate is no understatement....

The Daily Hotness: The Great Slicing Nerf of 2011

I don’t know how many of you are playing The Old Republic… so I’m going to pretend that you care either way. If you’re past level 25, you may have noticed something a bit frustrating- everything in the game is expensive as balls. Slicing was a small comfort to those of us not rolling in credits, and it was an easy way to just keep up with the ridiculously overpriced… everything....

There are secret characters in The Wonderful 101 demo

Wonder Pink and Wonder Yellow unite After playingThe Wonderful 101back when it wasProject P-100, I wasn’t sure what to think. Thankfully, the newly released demo shows that the game’s come a long way since then. While it’s easy enough to breeze through on a lower difficulty without delving very deeply into the combat system, gaining Pure Platinum medals requires you to master some pretty interesting techniques. Slathering charming characters like Wonder Painter, Wonder Beer, and Wonder Toilet onto a simple but deep core design is exactly what I hope for from a Platinum Games release....

This ass is selling 40+ copies of Hyrule Historia LE

Wow, what a douche nozzle I’ve got myself a copy of theZeldaseries bibleHyrule Historia, and it’s as amazing as everyone says. However, for highly appealing ancillary game merch such as art books, I like to splurge a little extra on fancy collector’s editions just for the heck of it. I wanted to snag the Limited Edition ofHyrule Historia, which was restricted to a mere4000 copies, but the damn thing sold out withinminutesof appearing on various pre-order pages....

We played an hour of Borderlands 3 and now we’re believers

The Cult of the Vault got to us Judging by the near-constant applause,Borderlands 3‘s central theme was ironically lost on most people in the crowd. There are two types of attendees at this event: Media and Influencer — at least that’s how the badges distinguish everyone — and it feels like the latter outweighs the former five to one. Funny, considering thatBorderlands 3‘s whole story revolves around how streamers will send us to hell in a handbasket....

Why the hell are Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s goofy steampunk costumes 1GB?

God, of course it was coming. Fucking steampunk.It will never be cool or good, you’re exactly like that shitty we-live-a-Victorian-lifestyle couple that everyone made fun of for their shitty thinkpiece about how great life is without electricity and when women’s faces melted off under poisonous makeup, except you’ve smashed up a watch and glued its bits to your fucking hat. Anyways, what the fuck, Ubisoft? The common 25-50gb modern game download is filling peoples’ consoles quickly enough, but some freeAssassin’s Creed SyndicateDLC is just adding to the problem....

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood’s new video is a pipe dream

Not in the impossible sense We haven’t gotten our grubby little hands on a copy ofWolfenstein: The Old Bloodyet.Chris expects to have to buy that at midnight. However, we did get our grubby little hands on this widely-available gameplay video in which the protagonist gets his grubby little hands on a pipe. That pipe plays a big role in the early-going. You’ll use it to climb walls, break down walls, and sever brain stems....

Berserk Musou adds a playable Wyald to its ranks

You can also fight Boscogn Berserkis getting yet another playable character in the form of Wyald, a demonic beast-like entity that appeared in the manga, but not the TV show or films. Much like Zodd, he’s capable of transforming into his bestial form based on the scans from Famitsu. Wyald was an Apostle who appeared during the Golden Age arc ofBerserk, sent to retrieve Griffith after he escaped from prison. He was one of the most ruthless enemies Guts encountered up until that point, but was defeated by Guts, then subsequently killed by Zodd (who is also playable)....
