Wal-Mart is currently testing out a new system where games can trade in their used games to an automated kiosk and get trade-in value towards their credit card. Currently only 77 stores allow this game buy back program. I have no idea how useful this may be, nor do I support anything via Wal-Mart. I do think it is funny that they are starting all these programs now.
Chris Morgan, screenwriter of the upcoming Gears Of War movie, wants Dwayne Johnson aka “The Rock” to play the role as Marcus Fenix. Morgan’s reasoning behind choosing “The Rock” is because he can play the tough macho guy that has the nuanced, sensitive funny side as well. I would agree with this because I watch “The Game Plan” this past weekend and seriously thought Johnson was great in that movie.
Ubisoft’s famous Assassin’s Creed now leaks screenshots of Assassin’s Creed 2. The graphics not only look enhanced and superb, but I believe the main character Ezio is now upgraded with better abilities, such as diving, swimming, etc. Hopefully this game will release soon along with my other favorites that I am waiting for!
Enjoy this video. I know I sure do. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of Tekken 6, but still I need Street Fighter IV in my life first! Whoever is demonstrating the Tekken 6 combos is horrible. I want to get in on some of that action!
To continue my infinite blog posts about Street Fighter, Capcom will be releasing Marvel VS. Capcom 2 on both PS3 and Xbox360 this summer. It will be priced for $15 on the PS3 and 1200 XBLA points on the 360. All I know is that I’m getting this game, but before that I need to get Street Fighter IV still!
This modder decided to turn his Xbox 360 into a wireless Xbox360 Joystick. He also added color buttons with a bubble top as well as LEDs when he touches the buttons. Now I don’t think this is a good look for Xbox. I mean people taking their Xboxes and turning them into joysticks. Usually people do that when they have junk in the house, they often try to recycle and use it for something else. So far I haven’t seen a Nintendo Wii turned into a Joystick, nor a PS3. Will anyone take the challenge?
Daigo Umehara has taken the spot for SF4 World Champion title after beating Justin Wong in the finals. This is pretty epic to watch. I really thought Justin Wong sucked and couldn’t get any good hits on Daigo, but I guess it was a set up type of thing. When I actually tried to youtube the video to show you guys, I found out that Daigo and Justin have been long time rivals at Street Fighter. Really I never knew this type of thing existed, but I think it’s great. Enjoy the video!
This is a special edition 160GB Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete Cloud Black Playstation 3. Unlike the normal PS3, this comes with a sleak and clean matte black finish with the Strife Wolf emblem. It also comes with a copy of Advent Children Complete on Blu-Ray and and Final Fantasy XIII demo. The price of this collector’s item…$505 US.
Donovan Myers decided to build his very own Taito Viewlix-style version Street Fighter IV cabinet. He made this ideal piece out of parts from a normal home improvement store aka Home Depot. To craft this masterpiece, Myers used as 32-inch Sony LCD TV, 2 MadCatz Stick, and a PS3. I wonder how much he would charge if I wanted something like this when Tekken 6 comes out!
It seems to me that people have this new fad of recreating their favorite video game in real life. In this video the guy jumps and hops around exactly like the main character of Assassins Creed.
