News Crap! That's T-Hawk In (Super) Street Fighter IV!
We've been posting rumours about an updated Super Street Fighter IV Dash for a while now, but things are now really coming to fruition

News Let's Watch Resident Evil 5 Played With The Playstation Motion Controller
Move over
Remember how Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition was the best version of the game because of the controls? Yeah, it actually felt a step back to play Resident Evil 5 with the DualShock didn't it?

News Limited Edition PAX Street Fighter IV Sticks Are Yummy
Look at this lovely Street Fighter IV arcade stick
Stare at it if you must. It's gorgeous isn't it? Sadly, there are only 1,000 available (and only 350 of those will work with the Playstation 3). Even more limiting is the fact that you'll only be able to get them from PAX if you attend the Capcom booth. If you're going to PAX, prepare to fight for...
News Hey Capcom, Is That A New Okami You're Working On?
As delightfully discovered by Siliconera, Capcom have registered a trademark for the game "Okamiden" - which literally means "the legend of Okami"
Given the critical success of the title, it would make sense to make a sequel to the title - while sales were initially low, hype spread through word of mouth. The problem is, the series creator Hideaki...
News Dark Void Is Coming January 12th
Dark Void was a subject to the Holiday 2009-flu
Sure that was a shame. But there's no need to worry, you won't have to wait too long for the game. It's coming January 12th in the USA and the 15th in Europe. That's not too far into 2010 folks. The game looks like a lot of fun so we're glad it's not been held back too long.
News Mavel Vs. Capcom 2 Soundtrack Hits The Playstation Network Next Week

News Agonisingly GRIN Are In Big, Big, Big Trouble
It hurts a little to type this
Not only because we know someone who used to work at Swedish outfit GRIN, but also because of the two games they've put out this year, we thought they were both pretty darn good. Bionic Commando was a clever platform-esque shooter. Sure there were issues with the design, but we certainly had fun playing it. Wanted:...

News Dark Void Catches The Holiday '09 Flu Due To "Crowded Fall Game Season"
CROWDED FALL GAME SEASON
? WHAT?! REALLY!? We were under the impression every other video game that was supposed to come out in 2009 had been delayed. Well, nearly. Seriously, developers should be citing a "crowded Q1 2010" as a reason for releasing their games this year, not the other way around. Still, our rant won't help Dark Void...

News New Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Trailer Rock, Watch Iron Man Take On Mega Man
This trailer rocks

News Capcom Admit To Seth & Sagat Being Overpowered
We really, really, really hate Seth in Street Fighter IV
We know the final bosses are supposed to be difficult to beat. We also know elitists are probably looking down on us as we talk because they've developed textbook strategies on knocking the dude out. But whatever, we think he's bloody hard to beat. Stupidly hard to beat in fact. Speaking with...

News Capcom Patching Bionic Commando Rearmed With Trophies Due To Vocal Community
We have a secret to admit - we started playing Bionic Commando Rearmed (loved it) and then we heard trophies were going to be patched

News Check Out Some Lost Planet 2 Co-Op Footage
Lost Planet 2 - now officially confirmed for the Playstation 3 - is going to have some massive monsters and four-play co-op

A Japanese site for the game has estimated release dates for both versions of the game - the XBOX 360 version listed as winter and the PS3 version TBA.
