Super Street Fighter IV Coming April 27
Capcom Metro City Cares! As of this morning, it’s official: April 27, 2010. Save your quarters. (On a happy note, check out Andore in the background up there. It’s nice to see an ex-con turn his life around after all that murder, kidnapping, assault, implied rape, car theft, and mayor punching.)

You’re Not Supposed To Get It, It’s Art Japanese!
This is a post about No More Heroes 2. I bet you’re expecting me to say something elitist, right? You expect me to insult the average Wii owner, huh? Like maybe a quip about how they would sneer at this piece of art-game weirdness while shopping at Wal*Mart with their brood of six fat children? […]

Nearly Five Minutes Of Final Fantasy XIII
Dying to play Final Fantasy XIII? While Square Enix just won’t budge on that March 9, 2010 release date for the English version of the game, they have deigned to offer up the nearly five minute long trailer you see below. I’ve never been a huge booster of the Final Fantasy series — I prefer […]

Hey Trekkies, Set Your Phasers On Phun!

Mega Man Foes Teach The Alphabet
Ever since the Great Speak & Spell Fire of oh-two nostalgic twentysomething parents have longed for a way to teach their kids the alphabet while branding them eternally with a useless affinity for the culture of an era they never actually lived through.
