SkeleTONS: nearly every bony bastard in the gaming universe (Canis Canem Edit)

31/10/2008

A few months ago we had this idea to make a “Skeletons of Street Fighter” feature. Street Fighter IV hype was asploding across the webs (GamesRadar included) and we felt there was no better time to excuse a barrage of boney bastards across the site.

Then we thought, “why stop with Street Fighter?” There’ve got to be a billion goddam skeletons creeping through virtual graveyards just begging to have their toothy visage slapped on the immortal internet. Who are we to deny them such a privilege? So, without further yammering, we present, just in time for Halloween (y Dia de los Muertos), the biggest batch of skelleys you’ve ever seen... ...

Costumes that saved the world (Canis Canem Edit)

30/10/2008

When the Puritans began settling down in North America during the early 17th century, they didn’t practice cosplay. Those were dark days - dark, costume-less days, filled with famine, toil, and a depressingly short supply of free candy. It would take nearly 200 years for Americans and Canadians to finally embrace Halloween as a mainstream event - and it was mostly thanks to a flood of Irish and Scottish immigrants in the late 19th century. ...

The Top 7... games that are cheaper than therapy (Canis Canem Edit)

16/01/2007

Let the haters and the old ladies complain about how those newfangled video computer games teach us to be killers; we've always taken the view that violent games are a pressure valve for blowing off steam in a harmless way. Don't believe it? Play something fierce and bloody the next time you're in a really bad mood, and then try telling us you didn't feel better afterward. But why stop there? If games can keep you from climbing a clock tower and expressing your inner pain in the form of ...

Bully does its worst (Canis Canem Edit)

31/10/2006

It's old news that, in the year leading up to its release, self-appointed culture critics around the globe desperately railed against Bully for its supposed violence. But even since its release - and the revelation that the game is fairly harmless - some people still refuse to let the controversy die, insisting publisher Rockstar isn't showing just how violent the game really ...

Bully: The Cliques - Day 5 (Canis Canem Edit)

19/09/2006

No school would be complete without at least one bully, and Bullworth Academy is well stocked. You might even say it's over-stocked, loaded with thick-headed goons who's only purpose in life is to harass everyone else until they graduate and suddenly realize how shallow and empty their life really is. Not that we have any personal issues ...

Bully: the cliques - Day 4 (Canis Canem Edit)

15/09/2006

Like many tough schools, Bullworth Academy places a high value on the achievements of its sports teams. At Bullworth, pretty much anybody who secures a place on one of those teams becomes a jock overnight. There's something infectious about the way they talk to each other and walk around the school as though they're in charge. Once you're accepted by them, it's hard to go ...

11/09/2006

The greasers are far too cool for school... or so they think. Were it not for the fact that they love hanging out at the school's auto shop - and the fact that their mothers would get upset - they probably wouldn't bother turning up at ...

Top 10 game name shockers (Canis Canem Edit)

5/09/2006

Tuesday 5 September 2006 In light of Bully's new, but less punchy title (all puns intended), we wondered if Canis Canem Edit really is up there with the dodgier names to grace game shelves over the years. We rummaged deep into our collective brain sacks for some of the most baffling, long-winded, utter nonsense game names that we've ever encountered. So, for your mild amusement, here's our top 10 madcap monikers... 10. Deus Ex Another Latin lesson - taken from 'deus ex machina', or 'god from ...

Street Fighter Week: The Sounds of Street Fighter (Capcom Fighting Evolution)

19/03/2008

"Hadouken!""Shoryuken!""Sonic Boom!"Anyone who's played a game, walked past an arcade or read a comic book in the past 10 years should recognize those words immediately. They're some of Street Fighter's most well-known attacks and for years were at the heart of the game's cultural takeover. Kids mimed the attacks, gamers shouted them out loud and tournament players dreamed about perfecting combos with these moves as the killer final blow. But ...

20/02/2009

[align dan-art.gif along right]If you’ve been a Street Fighter fan during the last 10 years, you already know his trademarks: the weeping, the tiny fireballs, the pink gi, the tendency to scream a lot for no reason. Dan Hibiki is the Rodney Dangerfield of Street Fighter, respected by none but beloved by most, and over the years he’s gone from an obscure gag character to one of the series’ most enduring fan favorites. ...
