The characters and environments of the gaming world are so colourful and exciting, it’s little wonder they inspire many of us to pick up our crayons and coloured pencils and have a go at recreating them – or even reimagining them – ourselves. The numbers of drawings we've seen of your favourite characters just goes to show how popular it’s become to take the game art world into your own hands. ... » Read More

The world according to Street Fighter [PIC]

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

Last week Capcom confirmed Super Street Fighter IV, a slight update to this year’s critically acclaimed Street Fighter IV, which will tweak certain fight mechanics as well as add several new characters to the fray. One of those new fighters is Juri, the first Korean character in the series’ 20 year history. This got us thinking, now that South Korea has a star fighter, how many countries are represented by the number one fightin' franchise? ... » Read More

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

Earlier this week, publisher Capcom announced that Super Street Fighter IV, an expanded, stand-alone follow-up to this year’s fighting megahit, will arrive in stores sometime in 2010. Aside from tweaking the gameplay (like every Street Fighter expansion before it), the new game will introduce around eight “new” characters, some of which - like Korean fighter Juri – will be genuinely new. ... » Read More

The 12 most misunderstood videogame villains

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

One reason we like games is that the stakes are high. The good guys are really good, the bad guys are really bad, and the princesses are really doe-eyed. But sometimes, games manage to work in villains that operate in shades of gray… and other times, they accidentally make a villain out of the most sympathetic guy in the story. ... » Read More

The 5 worst things about Street Fighter: The...

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

Videogame movies are, with a few exceptions, awful. This is not news. It’s not surprising. It’s a sad fact, which gamers with any sort of taste in movies resigned themselves to years ago. And yet, every time an announcement of a new game movie comes down the pike, we foolishly think it might be good, forgetting the brazen, burning contempt that Hollywood harbors for games and those who play them. ... » Read More

If video game characters were Pokemon

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

Ever wondered what it would be like to have video game characters in your Pokemon party? Why choose boring old Bulbasaur when you can choose a beautiful Kasumi? Or a level 50 Sackboy? We've given 21 game characters the Pokemon treatment, with four moves to choose from and some evolutionary states too. Who would you choose? ... » Read More

Win Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li!

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

Let’s be honest, this film didn’t get the best reviews in the world, and maybe it can’t match the bombastically powerful camp value that the first Street Fighter film had, but Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li still piques our curiosity. What’s it really like? Some guy from Black Eyed Peas plays Vega? Just how hot is Kristin Kreuk in the lead role? ... » Read More

Which number is the best number?

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

Because we enjoy making graphs, looking at graphs, and talking about graphs so darn much, we decided to do a little research experiment. Our goal was to discover which numbered entry in a game series (not the number of games into the series, the actual number in the game’s title) is most often the best. Is it scientific? Not in the least, but it still might surprise you. ... » Read More

A rather impressive list of videogame currency

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

It’s Tax Day. If you’re a part of the working class, you (hopefully) filed your state and federal returns. Kids, never mind what we’re talking about - your parents have filed you as dependents because you’re deadbeats who don’t contribute to your family’s income. We jest! What do taxes have to do with games? Money is earned and spent in some of your favorite videogames. ... » Read More

13 greatest enemies that are also round

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

There are enemies that are circular, and there are enemies that aren’t circular. These are the ones that are circular. Euclidian geometry defines circles as the points on a plane which are the same distance from another point called the center, got it? That’s awesome. There is no geometric definition for enemies, but if there was it would define them as the guys that kill you. ... » Read More

Gaming's most absurdly oversized limbs

PS3 Feature | Street Fighter IV

Abnormally sized limbs that are sort of funny to look at: a premise that only minutes of arduous brainstorming could have birthed. Can we actually fashion a coherent article with a subject weaker than the plot of a Family Matters episode? Carl Winslow would believe in us, and it isn’t as if it hasn’t worked for us in the past. Enjoy, and be sure to come back next week for “100 slices of bacon that look like Mario.” ... » Read More

The pathetic history of Dan Hibiki

[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. ... » Read More
