Virtual Vox Pop: What Should Capcom Do With The Final Fight Franchise?
Virtual Vox Pop is a weekly open mic in which we ask you, the reader, to sound off on a particular topic. This week, it’s the future of the Final Fight franchise. Cody and Guy are back! Not in Final Fight, but in Super Street Fighter IV. That’s not a slight on Super Street Fighter [...]
King of Fighters Movie Trailer Looks Awful
If there’s a lesson learned from my completion of the Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Super Mario Bros. live-action flicks, it’s that a) I can tolerate the trashiest films ever made and b) I should never hold hope that a fighter will translate into a decent, watchable flick. So when I got word that SNK [...]
B-Boy Brawl Brings Breaking To Your iPhone/iPod Touch
My biggest gripe against the rhythm game genre as a whole is the heavy reliance and focus of the guitar as the central gameplay element. Certainly, it would be insane for me to expect games /platforms entitled Guitar Hero and Rock Band to have a killer tuba peripheral and accompanying songs, but would a Tuba [...]
LOLZ OMG: teh internetz-Attack of the Memes Annoys Its Ways To The iPhone and iPod touch
I don’t recall the precise date, but ’twas sometime in November 1998 that I first connected to this flustercuck that we know as the internet (or “internetz”). Back then, it was a hardcore carnival-meets-wild-wild-west in that you never knew what hilariously awful thing would pop up next. Over the last 11 years, we’ve seen variety [...]
Double Dragon Returns With “Revenge of the Wounded Dragon”?

Harvest Moon: My Little Shop Sprouts On WiiWare
The Harvest Moon franchise never fails to amaze me. There’s seemingly a new game on a different platform every few months, I’ve met exactly one other person in real life that loves it besides me, and, well, it’s about farming. It’s not exactly the sexiest concept, but Natsume tapped the virtual farming niche well before [...]
The Greatest 2D Sports Video Game Athletes: Bo Jackson Edition
Unstoppable. That’s the only word that can even remotely come close to describing “Tecmo Bo”, a sports video game athlete so dominant, so simultaneously loved and feared by 8-bit pigskinners worldwide, that his name has become forever entangled with the game – - both on the digital gridiron and in real life. Sports commentators often [...]

The game runs easily on any PC and will keep you entertained while on your lunch break. Turn the sound off and you’ll be able to play throughout the day. In fact, you’ll be able to play for days.
Review: Dungeon Fighter Online (PC)
Dungeon Fighter Online has been in open beta or a number of weeks now, which has given MMO fans the chance to thoroughly sample the gameplay – – and I’ve been amongst them. Unlike other reviewable games that are more or less fixed when presented to the public, Dungeon Fighter Online‘s MMO roots opens the [...]
Pokemon Meets Left 4 Dead: Laughter Ensues
Imagine you vs the AI Director in Left 4 Dead dueling it out on your Nintendo DSi’s Pokemon style. The other day we blogged about the 8-bit Left 4 Dead game that will be coming out in January. If you’re a fan of either Pokemon or Left 4 Dead (or both the way I am) you’ll love to watch this short flash video.
