Soulcalibur IV

Also known as: Soul Calibur IV, Soul Calibur 4, Soulcalibur 4, SCIV

Sure, the Star Wars characters don't really belong here, but nonsense is the order of the day in Soulcalibur IV, and the game's better for it. New fighting mechanics, and a finely balanced roster round out the hugely satisfying package here. Forget the Virtua Fighter purists. This is the new king of fighters.

We're going to talk about how we got to try out one of the new female fighters, and tell you about the new Soul Gauge system, but let's get two obvious points out of the way: Soulcalibur IV is due out July 29, and it's a very pretty game (look at the screens). The character designs are covered with details and sparkles and arenas are bright and unusual, even the lightsabers (yes, they have those now) glow like deadly Christmas » Read Full Soulcalibur IV preview
