About Me





Hey guys, it's Dan or as everyone here knows me (including you, because you're looking at my blog), EternalDeathSlayer. Yeah, I jacked it from Grandma's Boy, eat me. Anyway, I love video games, but more importantly I also love to talk about video games, hence why I am here on Destructoid with you. I've got a wonderful little family of 2 kids and a wife and we all play games in some shape or form. My wife enjoys WoW (probably a bit too much) and playing Halo with either myself or her friends. My kids like kid stuff like Kinectimals or flash games on the PC. And me? I like almost everything. So long as a game is fun or has the ability to effect my feelings or emotions, I'm game.

Consoles:

Xbox 360

PS3

Wii

I play them all, but truthfully it's not in an "All Consoles are Equal" sort of way. I prefer the 360, mainly because I know more people who own one, but I do play my PS3 whenever a worthy exclusive is released. The exclusives make the purchase worth it. As for the Wii, well, it gets ignored most of the time. But I pull it out from time to time, usually when a big Nintendo game is released for it.

My Favorite Games:

10. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
9. Gears of War
8. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Theme Song FTW)
7. Final Fantasy IX
6. God of War
5. Super Mario Galaxy
4. Chrono Cross
3. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
1. Resident Evil 4

And there you have it. I love Destructoid and it's amazing community. I will probably never leave.

Street Fighter III: Third Strike coming to GameTap. Hey, it's better than Street Fighter IV
EternalDeathSlayer | 5:40 AM on 12.16.2007 13 comments


Sorry if this has been posted, didn't see it anywhere. Anyway......



If any of you use GameTap, this might be good news to hear. According to the bitchez at Joystiq, Street Fighter III: Third Strike will be hitting the gaming service on December 20th. This is one of the best 2D fighting games ever made and it's inclusion on GameTap is really making me want to join up, as I've yet to do so.

The best part of it all is that they have snagged the Dreamcast version of the game, so we can be sure things will flow smoothly. Also, the article states that the game will support a number of different speciality fighting stick controllers, so check the link to see which ones if you're into this sort of thing. Unfortunately no online play, as the DC version didn't have it.

This is just in time really. It's gonna go a long way towards washing the taste out of my mouth after seeing the pics of Street Fighter IV. Meh. Ok, that's not right, we should give the game a chance and play it. We really should. Capcom has been Win as hell so far this generation, I'm expecting them to keep the ball rolling with SF4.

But anyway, get on GameTap on the 20th and play this fucker if you haven't already! You won't regret it.

SF3 is what they should be aiming to make 4 closest to, but all the producer seems to talk about is sf2 and getting as many sf2 characters in.

In my mind, aiming for SF2 isn't so bad. It's a more accessible game overall. SF3 is for the truly hardcore. I'm not one of the truly hardcore myself, but I have enjoyed playing 3 many times before.

This needs to come out for Live Arcade.

I can't see it happening in the near future because of SFII HD.

This only somewhat compensates for the loss of the other games leaving the service.

SF2 had the better characters, SF3 had the better fighting system.

It's really tight and objective of you to pass judgment on a game after seeing four screenshots of a game that won't be finished for a year.

Upon review, I worded that very poorly. The fact remains, regardless.

third strike is the most refined but every one seems to forget that like alpha 2 and alpha3 2nd impact and 3rd strike have completley diffrent stories endings and stages. I have never got to play 2nd impact besides NOT emulating so I wish they would release that in some form.

this is fucking awesome, but now I get to make fun of you for reading joystiq

@ BHZ: I don't actually "read" Joystiq. It was an extremely slow night at work and I was scouring the interwebs for something to put up on Dtoid that you guys might have missed.

Yeah, it was that slow.

See what I did thar? Read the whole post next time thoroughly, let it all soak in buddy. I said I didn't like the fucking pics but I'd also give Capcom a chance considering their recent success this generation. So just chill.

Excellent. Although their DC emulation is kinda spotty with some games, but hopefully this will run well. I so need to get an arcade stick for my PC.
