GDC: Injustice has a Challenge Tower and quicker patching

So close, yet so far away! Injustice: Gods Among Us is one my most-awaited games this year. With just a few weeks left until release, Warner Bros. and NetherRealm invited us for one more look at the game's last bells and whistles.

Injustice is shaping up nicely for the tournament scene

Making a tournament worthy fighter is no small feat. Making one on your first go, and getting the reception that it did, is an even bigger accomplishment for Netherrealm Studios. Now I have a history with the Mortal Kombat se...

Preview: Street Fighter X Tekken Vita brings plenty more

The PlayStation Vita's library has already seen its fair share of console ports, especially when it comes to fighting games. Mortal Kombat, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and now Street Fighter X Tekken has made the jump. Havi...

TGS: PS All-Stars stays fun while expanding roster

I've been waiting for new PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale character reveals with bated breath, but Sony didn't bring any new characters to TGS. What they did bring is a demo containing 12 characters and five stages, which...

TGS: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is wacky in a new way

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure was an odd fighting game for Capcom that was loved by many despite its flaws, in the West. In the East, however, it was one of the first videogames based off a very popular manga series. It's a series...

TGS: Kuma in a Princess Zelda dress makes Tekken better

You might not think of Nintendo when you think Tekken, but there is a good reason for this: The series has never appeared on a Nintendo console before. While this may be a point of concern for fighting fans who plan to adopt ...

Preview: World Tekken Federation is free and awesome

Not unlike Battlefield Premium or Call of Duty Elite, World Tekken Federation (WTF) mode is a premium online community service that will act as a hub for a host of features including stat tracking, clans, and social networkin...

Preview: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth

I've been watching Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth with a fair bit of curiosity. When announced as a Kinect title that would not be a tie-in to the recently released film, I put myself in media blackout mode in anticipation...

Preview: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (beta)

Clone. Ripoff. Copycat. Call it what you want, but PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is a game that stands on its own. There have been a couple games that have aped the style of Super Smash Bros. in the past, but none of...

SDCC: Hands-on with Injustice: Gods Among Us

NetherRealm's Injustice: Gods Among Us is the studio's next big fighter and of course it's on display here at Comic-Con, where Nightwing and Cyborg were revealed for the first time. I got a chance to play as Nightwing, who as...

Dead or Alive 5 has those jiggle physics you love, more

At E3 last week, there were a good amount of new fighting games. Conrad and I made our rounds to all the booths that had fighting games to show off, and Steven Hansen eventually joined us as well. Here we made our way to the...

Injustice: Gods Among Us made me all kinds of happy

In our quest to check out all the fighting games, Conrad, Steven, and myself managed to convince Warner Bros. to let us get down and dirty with Injustice: Gods Among Us. In no time at all, we were behind closed doors where S...

Jimpressions: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

There's no escaping the fact: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is one of the most blatant and shameless rip-offs seen this generation. It might as well embrace the sarcasm and actually call itself Sony Smash Bros., because...

E3: When Vikings Attack is good for drunken party play

Okay, so State of Emergency wasn’t the GTA III-killer that Rockstar hyped it up to be. So, what? Sometimes it’s fun to play an embarrassingly dumb game about throwing things into other things. I want to flip cars and incite an angry mob! Though SoE is forgotten by most, When Vikings Attack captures that same kinetic energy and stupidity, albeit in arcade form.

E3: Body slamming men in tights from space in Injustice

I never thought I'd want to play a DC superhero fighting game, but then again, I never thought I'd want to play another Mortal Kombat after the series' decline in the '00s. Once again, NetherRealm is changing my mind. Injusti...

E3: Persona 4 Arena plays as good as it looks

The Persona series is often regarded as containing some of the best games that the RPG genre has to offer. Now, though it may not be the most obvious direction, the characters from Persona 4 and even Persona 3 are about to th...
