Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist [Interview]

One video game franchise that has had a rather tepid history in the realm of live-action projects has been Street Fighter. Even though the base concept of having warriors fight one another is easy enough, and has established lore behind it, we’ve received movies that made Blanka into a green angry Smurf looking character and somehow turned Bison into a suit wearing Scottish businessman.

Batman: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City Casting Call

Last year saw the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy finally come to a definitive end with the release of The Dark Knight Rises. Nolan’s last entry in the Batman franchise left the fanbase rather split since certain elements either seemed bloated, unnecessary, or entirely forced for the sake of it.  However flawed Nolan’s final Batman movie was, the one thing that was clear was that it wasn’t the true end of the Batman franchise.

Six Months Later... Call of Duty: Black Ops II

For the last few years there has been one ever constant element in the ever changing, and sometimes tumultuous, industry that is the video game biz: modern warfare shooters.  Once an occasional occurrence in the previous console generation, that of the PS2 and Xbox, modern warfare shooters came to prominence once Infinity Ward and Activision decided to forgo the somewhat stale WWII formula and bring the Call of Duty series to the 21st century.

Star Wars and EA Could Be A Perfect Match

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away EA acquired the rights to publish Star Wars video games and in turn made the fantasies of gamers, movie fans, and self-professed geeks come to life. If such a thing occurred nearly a decade ago, back when EA was looked upon as a conglomeration of evil not unlike the Imperial Army, this news would've been one of disappointment, but now it’s a reality and actually good news all considered.

TMNT: Out of the Shadows Trailer Shows Nice Action and Scary Looking Mikey

The paradox that is TMNT: Out of the Shadows has appeared once again, this time to show off what the game will offer.  Even though there was initially a level of excitement to see what Activision would do with their first TMNT game, such a sentiment quickly faded upon seeing the somewhat oddly devised, yet still intriguing, premise that Out of the Shadows is aiming to offer.

First Detail on Next Call of Duty Game, CoD: Ghosts

What once was believed to be nothing more than a salacious and possibly fake rumor now has some credibility behind it.  Teased last month was news that the next Call of Duty game would be called CoD: Ghosts.  A fairly unassuming name, though unexpected given the belief that it would be Modern Warfare 4, details were then sprouted that the game would have new elements to the MP mode along w

Remaining THQ Properties Acquired (Darksiders, Homeworld, Red Faction)

The rather depressing saga of THQ is almost over for good since the remaining properties once owned by the company have now been acquired. Initially passed up in the auction that saw Ubisoft pick up South Park and Saints Row become part of the Koch Media family, once major THQ franchises such as Darksiders and Drawn to Life now have new homes – however unexpected they may be.

Ubisoft Reveals Price/Date For Call of Juarez Gunslinger

Ubisoft is giving gamers a taste of the Old West once again via the forthcoming PSN/XBL/PC title Call of Juarez Gunslinger.  Yet another entry in Techland’s/Ubisoft’s Call of Juarez series, Gunslinger sees the franchise returns to its roots once more by having a tale set in the 1800s as opposed to the modern day drug cartel battles found in the somewhat disappointing Call of Juarez: The Cartel.

Shinji Mikami and Bethesda Unveil The Evil Within

The teasing done by Bethesda Softworks has finally ended and as expected we have the debut of Shinji Mikami’s new survival horror game. Formerly known as Zwei, Shinji’s new game under his Tango Gameworks studio is now dubbed The Evil Within; a title that’s rather fitting of the horrors that are promised to be experienced within the title.

Shinji Mikami's Zwei To Be Revealed Tomorrow

After a somewhat long absence when it comes to released games, Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami is finally making a comeback.  Okay, in a way he never left the biz after releasing Vanquish with Platinum Games, but Mikami has been wrapped up in his new 3rd person survival action/horror game Zwei - which may finally be unveiled tomorrow.
