By Spencer . November 10, 2008 . 8:23am

Something strange is going on with Sonic Unleashed, better known as Sonic World Adventure in Japan. Instead of coming out on December 18th Sonic Unleashed won’t be released on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 in Japan until spring 2009.

By Spencer . July 28, 2008 . 1:48pm

At Comic-Con I was fortunate enough to speak with Yoshinori Ono, the Producer of Street Fighter IV, about the game. One of the first things I wanted to ask him is where Dimps fits in the picture, but I also wanted to squeeze in reader questions some of you submitted in the comments last [...]

Since Dragon Ball Z came to North America there have been so many Dragon Ball Z games. We get at least one a year and each new hardware cycle the games get closer to the look of the anime. In retrospect the only in Japan NES games don’t even feel close. Eye candy [...]

Beat(’em up)mania: Bringing the noise, bringing the pain in Draglade

By Levi . December 4, 2007 . 1:24pm
