Nostalgia Mode Initiate: Looking for Modern Gems

Yesterday was a day of trials and tribulation for my inner gaming hunger.  I decided to purchase Resonance of Fate from the used as shit rack of my local game emporium.  I don't know if you remember this title...a gem of a game released by Sega and Tri-ace (well known for star ocean and valkyrie profile).  It isn't often you run into semi-gem like this one, but I must say, I'm glad I stumbled upon it.

Persona 4: Arena Review

Hot damn have I been waiting for this game for quite some time now. I'm sure you remember my ranting about it earlier. The game was love at first sight for me, but of course, nobody else has my unique views when it comes to games like this. So before you take my word for it. Here is a legitimate review for the title.

Prepare Yourself for Battle!

So, it has been another dive into the world of fighting games for lil' ol' me for the past weeks. The 25th anniversary of Street Fighter official Capcom sponsored tournament series kicked off on the 27^th which I did attend but did not compete. Super big names in the FG community would have slaughtered me in ways I have only ever paid good money on the internet to see done to other people...but probably with severely less latex involved. The event was in Austin, TX so I spent most of my time with friends I hadn't seen in a long time. But I didn't forget to visit Arcade UFO while I was in town. I did quite well on the SSF4AE cabinets, but it was more due to the lack of good competition there rather than my own personal skill. If I was better at third strike I would have challenged my friend Yuuki “theAdonis” Spencer. He took part and got 5^th place in the event, it may not sound impressive, but he got to walk away with 200 bones and a swag-ass T-shirt (swag as in 'stuff we all get') for a free-to-enter tournament. It was a good start to a fighting game based week.
