This week is full of win! Street Fighter IV, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, and Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? are all on my must get list. I know a good majority of you are going to be playing Street Fighter IV this week and will no doubt be the main attraction for Friday Night Fights this week.
I've played a good chunk of Prinny already and as fun as it is, it's really hard. Good thing you start off with 999 lives! Finally, I was pissed about the price for The Lost and Damned when it was announced, but Nick's preview convinced me that it's actually not that bad of a deal for what it offers.
What's looking sw33t to you this week, Dtoiders? The full list of games and trailers for most of the games are all after the jump.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. 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.

I'll be buying Street Fighter IV and Dragon Quest V: Heavenly Bride somewhere done the line. Likely when they're both twenty dollars, since I'm a broke sixteen year old kid.
I kinda can't believe that when I go home on friday I'm going to find Street Fighter IV there. It's been so long!
I'm also gettingthe GTA DLC... I think, and the Burnout DLC if it's fairly reasonably priced.
Also what happened to SFIV for PC? I guess I have a 360 now, but I really don't wanna have to figure out some kind of controller thing for it. It'd be nice if they made the PC version crossover play with Live, but considering they seem to have forgotten it exists, I doubt it =/.
@ Justice... we HOPE we get SF4 on friday, these days you're lucky if anything but Amazon Prime preorders actually turn up on time. I'm not expecting my play.com preorder til next tuesday :(

Street Fighter IV looks awesome, but I am not sure if I will get it or not. Its been a long time since I bought a fighting game (Tekken 5 and before that Soul Calibur 2).
I'm picking up my SFIV CE at lunch today. Last night, I verified that it will be available. At some point later, I'll get DQV. I need to finish DQIV first.
SFIV is a rental at best for me. I haven't been into fighters in a long time. I can totally see myself getting it, playing it for a few days and never going back to it. It looks great, just not for me. Not much else this week interestes me at all, but I'm anxiously awaiting Killzone 2.

I agree with the general opinion.. it has taken soo long for SFIV and its finally here. cant wait for friday :D
