Review: Dead or Alive 4

Boobies. There, I said it. This game has jiggly, wiggly, biggly titties. Girls in skimpy outfits thrust their legs in the air and let you know, fairly often, what exactly their panties look like, only to have another woman grab them by the legs and stuff her head under the first female’s shorty-short skirt. The game is mostly women, and none of them are overweight, super muscular, or even the slightest bit appealing to feminist ideals. They want to grow up to be housewives and give you blowjobs seven times a day while cooking you dinner each and every night. I happen to like it that way, and my Y chromosome agrees. Okay, now that’s out of the way, lets move on.

This is Fite Gamez - High Voltage Online

Welcome to a new look launch for the internet’s 173rd favourite fighting game site - High Voltage Online!

Last seen on the 25th May, 2004 under the name Higher Voltage, we’ve languished for almost two years now, spending the time arguing on the forums and little else. The colossal failure of once-proud leader Redranger (now a hated exile) to produce anything of note, his subsequent total disappearance from the internet taking the front door keys with him creating a period of confusion, frustration and world-beating apathy that have all combined to create a losing streak of immense proportions, one that could have all been avoided with a bit of hindsight.

But never mind.

This game is NOT as good as Street Fighter II.

Nowhere. Fucking. Near.

Film review: DOA: Dead or Alive

I’ve never quite understood the appeal of the videogame film. Are we supposed to feel proud that our precious hobby has hit the big time, that it’s now so real and important that the grown-ups finally have to sit up and take notice? The idea of stripping out the best part of a game (the interaction) and padding the dull bits out to two hours crippled by budget, focus groups and amateur directors with no idea what made the games good is hardly an appealing one.

Review: Street Fighter Alpha 3: Double Upper [PSP]

Of all the consoles I’ve ever owned only the Saturn had a default pad suited to my one-on-one fighting needs. Every other machine needed a replacement to line up the buttons, to add diagonals to the D-pad or to fit my hands. So just how would the PSP, widely noted for its unfriendly digital pad cope when controlling one of Capcom’s superb pieces of fighting art?

Review: Guilty Gear XX #RELOAD

Fighting games. How far they have come. In the beginning, there was only one, a lone, domineering, all-powerful World Warrior, who stood atop the highest mountain, proclaiming its name loudly for all to hear. Its name was Street Fighter 2. Many men gravitated towards him and became his disciples. Eventually, several offshoots came into light and developed followings of their own, and even long after Street Fighter 2 was dead, its legacy lived on through others. The most recent successor to the 2D fighting game throne was probably the most unlikely of prospects. Its name is Guilty Gear.
