20th Dec, 2007 Gaming is an up and down experience. Some years cram top quality titles into our every orifice until were bursting with videogame joy and have excess polygons dripping messily out of our ears, while some other years… Well, some other years are 1983. In 2007 though, weve had a very good year indeed. A scarily good year in fact. One which has provided us so much brilliance on every format that its a genuine worry that the laws of karmic balance will soon bring us a plague ... » Read More

360 - Virtua Fighter 5 - VF5 Item Pack 1 revealed The first downloadable content pack for Virtua Fighter 5 has just gone up on the Xbox Live Marketplace at 300 MS Points.

With three new items for each character (none of which are available in the course of the standard game), that brings the total to a rather healthy 51 items. At just over three pounds, this might seem like pretty good value but when you consider that VF is a game where most players will focus on a single character (with the odd optimist trying to juggle two or three at once), the new items seem somewhat less of a bargain
