A lot of you have probably already gotten Soulcalibur IV as a lot of places sold it early, but it officially drops this week. I'm going to be completely honest with you all right here. As soon as I pick up this game, I'm putting all the female fighters in bikinis.
Also dropping this week is the new Xbox 360 60 GB model, which will go for $349. What's looking sw33t to you?

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

SC for the 360 when it's released over here around 4 august.
That wireless fighting stick is looking like a requirement with all the fighting games coming out, too bad that thing will make it less fun when the local 2nd player has to use the 360 dpad though :/
Not one mention of Geometry Wars 2? I thought the first game was easily the best value on the XBLA to this point. Its unfortunate the second game will not also be 400 points. However its worth the 800.
I'm only buying Soul Calibur if I can make Tir McDohl with the character creator. It's been a secret dream of mine to see Tir McDohl in a fighting game using Kilik's moveset, because that would be fucking amazing.
Geometry wars 2 at least, I don't really have a need for Spectral Force, but being an Atlus title on the 360 I get the feeling it will be hard to find (more than normal for an Atlus game) in a couple of months.

I kind of want Spectral Force 3, but I think I'll hold off until it goes down in price
My fingers are still crossed for everyone in the game getting a lightsaber mod for their weapon.
And/or a light saber option for customer characters . . .
