Boom! A new Resident Evil 6 trailer, fresh out of the Comic-Con Madness.

‘STREET FIGHTER’ Box Set Is OSTENTATIOUS AWESOMENESS; F**k Yeah 25 Years
Street Fighter is turning 25 and its partying a bit harder than my girlfriend who recently did the same. Kapow! Capcom is dropping a box set of biblical proportions, and if I was the Street Fighter fetishist I was back in my youth I may take a run at this.
Olde English and Baha Men-quoting Goblins will attempt to kill you in Dragon’s Dogma
Appearances can be deceptive. Take Dragon’s Dogma, for instance. On the surface, it seems like an ill-informed attempt at a Western RPG designed in the East. Look a little deeper, however, and you’ll find that it brings some well-disguised originality and highlights the failings of our most recent, beloved RPG experiences.
NEW ‘DMC’ TRAILER: Dante Is A Known Sexual Deviant. No, Srsly.
A new trailer for DmC has dropped, and I’m glad it’s completely out of its fucking mind. Slow motion glimpses at Dante as dresses in mid-leap, comments on his sexual deviancy, and the classic gameplay you’ve known to love or hate. Fuck man, I wasn’t expecting this…I’m actually looking forward to this game.
Act Your Age With Capcom Retro Collections
Face it: you’re old. That’s what I tell myself as I stare into the abyss that is my ever-increasing forehead. As the hair recedes, all that is left is pale, shiny flesh that serves only to reflect past glories and hide regret within the ever-deepening recesses. This week sees two ‘retro’ collection releases from Capcom appearing on our shelves. The games I grew up with are now fit for re-packaging and retro bumper packs. It’s all getting too real. Still, it’s hard to feel sorry for myself when I’m smashing the collective face of the Mad Gear Gang with Mike Haggar’s iron pipe of justice (trademark pending).
Bad Guys win and Heroes fall in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
The ferocity with which some fans yearn for ‘traditional’ survival horror from the Resident Evil series often blinds us to just how diverse a series it has managed to become. Throughout its history we have seen it shift to a more contemporary, action-centric pace with Resident Evil 5, have seen it re-interpreted as a lightgun shooter with Darkside Chronicles and now, we see Operation Raccoon City recalling the often forgotten co-op experience of Resident Evil: Outbreak. At first, the idea of setting a team-based, 3rd person tactical shooter within the Resident Evil universe may seem a little jarring, but when you consider the breadth of the series so far, it doesn’t seem that odd after all.
‘STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN’ REVIEW: SH*T TALKING EVOLVES
Capcom and Namco join forces and pit their premier beat-em-up characters against each other with Street Fighter X Tekken: a tag team brawler that defies expectations and forges its own distinct personality. As I write this review I find myself in the deepest, darkest recesses of an almighty hangover. For you see: Street Fighter X Tekken is not a game best experienced alone, but rather in the company of your friends. To adequately write this review I had to experience what kind of beer-fueled abuse it spawned; the characteristic cries of bullshit, shenanigans and cheapness. After all, what’s a beat —em-up without the trash-talk?
New ‘Resident Evil 6’ Details! No Rocky/Apollo Confirmation. Frown.
All I want out of Resident Evil 6 is a glorious moment where Leon and Chris skip along a beach holding hands and jumping up and hugging. You know, some Rocky III type shit. New details don’t confirm this, but they do get me excite!!!! for the game.
Trailer: ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’ Goes Valentine’s Day, Proves Love Is Decapitation.
Oh, Lollipop Chainsaw. Part of me loves you because you’re so ridiculous. Part of me is embarrassed by you. Then there’s the majority of me which generally forgets you exist. I’ll give it up to this “Valentine’s Day” trailer, which explains the disembodied head stuck to uh…Lollipop’s (?) hip.
Video: Dude Plays Street Fighter Against Himself. Showin’ Off.
This duder is playing against himself in Street Fighter III with a proficiency on both sides that I can’t master playing by myself. Head hanging. Sadness.
Hit the jump to check it out.
