| | Capcom says DLC and locked on disc content are the same thing | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 3rd, 2012 | Street Fighter X Tekken might not be the most technical fighting game on the planet - but it’s certainly a heck of a lot of fan, and I’m enjoying it immensely. It’s caused quite a fan uproar - not because of its simplified mechanics, or the odd blend of playstyles from each respective game - but rather because it was discovered that the ... [»] |

| Street Fighter X Tekken Review – Crossing Over with Ryu Edward | 
Darryn Bonthuys - March 28th, 2012 | Hadouken meets iron fist in a crossover game that would have been highly unlikely years ago, as the worlds of Street Fighter and Tekken collide for a showdown that has had fans pondering for years over who would win if they had to face each other.
But can Street Fighter X Tekken prove itself to be a worthy competitor that satisfies fans from both genres with its ambitious scope, or was ... [»] |

| Asura’s Wrath DLC has Capcom milking all six arms | 
Darryn Bonthuys - March 28th, 2012 | Oh Capcom, I never grow tired of your ability to produce milk, from even the strangest sources. Then again, when you have a game such as Asura’s Wrath, which happens to be episodic in nature, it is kind of difficult not to exploit that opportunity.
And while I enjoyed the hell out of Asura’s Wrath, I was kind of disappointed in the gimped ending, which ... [»] |

| Want an old-school Resident Evil? Tough! | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 23rd, 2012 | I’ve stated my love for the legacy Resident Evil games before; Resident Evil 2 and its Silent Hill counterpart stand as probably the finest games in the survival horror genre. Resident Evil 4 took the series in a new direction, adding more of a focus on action. It’s an incredible game, even though it had lost its survival horror soul. By the ... [»] |

| Capcom’s really just taking the piss with DLC now | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 19th, 2012 | Capcom X Tekken is out, and I have to admit it’s pretty darn good. With a pace and mechanics that sit somewhere between Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs Capcom, its frantic, combo-heavy crossover dynamic is really fun. Not so fun? Being sodomised; which is exactly what Capcom’s doing to you with the game’s DLC.
Surprised? Of course not.On Friday ... [»] |

| So, when’s Tekken X Street Fighter coming? | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 12th, 2012 | Capcom’s side of the crossover deal is done; Street Fighter X Tekken shouryukened retail in the face last week, and by all accounts is a pretty damned amazing fighter, even though it might have an issue or two. I wouldn’t know. My sealed copy is still in its packaging because, well, because Mass Effect 3, that’s why. Though I’m not one to judge them for backing the wrong horse, a ... [»] |

| Street Fighter X Tekken’s audio issues are a netcode problem | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 9th, 2012 | If you’re a fight fan picking up the Capcom/Namco crossover Street Fighter x Tekken today, you’re probably keen to take it online as soon as possible. With arcades dead, that’s probably the best way to experience fighting games today.
You could be in for disappointment, when you discover your online matches might not have sound.“We are aware of the sound issues that occur when playing ... [»] |

| Street Fighter X Tekken on the 360 denies local team online play | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 7th, 2012 | It’s looking more and more like the Xbox 360 version of Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken is gimped. Not only does it have fewer playable characters (though many of them are on the disc), but it looks like you won’t be able to invite a friend around, and have them join you in some co-op matches online - though you’ll be able to do just that on the PS3. The manual for the game says otherwise - but it’s ... [»] |

| Rumour – A new Darkstalkers game is in development | 
Darryn Bonthuys - March 5th, 2012 | We’re being spoilt for choice this year when it comes to fighting games, with the majority of those titles hitting us in the first quarter of this year already. We’ve already had the excellent Soul Calibur V and UFC Undisputed 3, with Street Fighter X Tekken hitting shelves later this week, followed by Naruto: This game has an added title that is too damn long.
It’s a resurgence of ... [»] |

| There’s another reason to get Dragon’s Dogma | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 1st, 2012 | Dragon’s Dogma is an upcoming open-world, class-based fantasy action-adventure from Capcom - and though it’s not on many gamers’ radars at the moment, it really should be. Coming in May , it’s the brainchild of Hideaki Itsuno, the guy who’s been behind Devil May Cry since the second one, and also brought you Capcom vs SNK ... [»] |

| Arcades are dead – but their spirit lives on in online fighting games | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 31st, 2012 | Man, I miss arcades. If you never huddled around a Street Fighter 2 cabinet, surrounded by complete strangers who would eventually become friends, vying for the next spot on the unofficial roster by placing your coin around the screen’s edge - thenyou’ve missed a special part of gaming history. Unfortunately, that bit of gaming is pretty much dead, with traditional arcade games making way for more kid-oriented ticket dispensing machines. It’s sad ... [»] |

| Street Fighter X Tekken DLC list leaked. Oh, Capcom… | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 30th, 2012 | I’m terribly excited for Capcom’s and Namco’s crossover fighter, Street Fighter X Tekken which pits fighters from both game universes with a Street Fighter-esque game mechanic. It looks - and plays - incredibly well, striking a beautiful balance between the two, rather different fighting games. What I’m not so excited for is the game’s inevitable deluge of pointless, cash-sucking DLC. ... [»] |

| Ace Attorney coming to iOS | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 30th, 2012 | It’s one of Capcom’s very best franchises - but it’s one that hasn’t gotten a tremendous amount of love, especially here in South Africa. A series of adventure games based on the Japanese legal system and some rather…goofy trials…Ace Attorney (the first 3, anyway) follow the exploits of Phoenix Wright, rookie defence attorney. It appears he’s true to his moniker, as the three Ace Attorney games bearing his name are ... [»] |
