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 ... [»]
2012 will be the 25th year that Capcom’s seminal fighting game will have been in existence. That’s a lot of hadoukens, shouryukens and tatsumaki….hurricane kicks.

And dammit, we’ll still love them for it. Capcom had a hit earlier this year with Marvel versus Capcom 3, an arcade fighter that managed to entice both newcomers and hardcore fans, giving each audience the ... [»]
Yesterday we posted a rumour about an update to the 360 controller – quite possibly the most comfortable controller I’ve used, albeit with one of the worst d-pad’s I’ve ever experienced. According to the rumour, the updated design was primarily to rework the d-pad, and appease fighting game fans. Thanks to Major Nelson, we have confirmation that a new 360 pad is indeed on ... [»]
Major Nelson has posted a video which pretty much confirms this controller is coming to the US for $70. Video at the bottomThe Xbox 360 controller is probably my favourite video game controller – barring the ridiculous legendary awesomeness of the Dreamcast’s, of course. Unlike Sony’s decades old dual-shock design,I’m not left with cramped hands after ... [»]
