Marvel VS Capcom 3 announced

It will be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game console in 2011. Marvel VS Capcom 3 is Capcom's fifth installment in their versus series to feature Marvel characters, and the first to feature 3D graphics. Like its predecessor, it will feature a three-on-three tag-team based fighting system. Capcom has promised a robust storyline for the game. The soundtrack also boasts over 100 tracks, including rearrangements from previous MvC tunes, as well as new ones. (No more Ridge Racer so...

My thoughts on RE5 Gold Edition…

— Lost in Nightmares is so simply amazing that it's easier to list the few flaws it has, that being that it's too damn short, and that there's just not enough enemy combat. The scenario is only one SUB-chapter long (as opposed to an entire chapter of the main game), and it is broken up basically into two sections: above ground (inside the estate) and below ground (in the gruesome experimental dungeons and the sewers). Above ground is eery as fuck, and many of the rooms mimic the mansion in the f...

RE5 Gold Edition DLC – “Lost in Nightmares” + Costumes and More, Available on X-Box 360 Tomorrow, PS3 Thursday! (Updated)

Update - Capcom got it backwards and released Costume Pack 2 today instead of 1. So you get little-red-ridin'-Sheva and I-can-see-your-nipples-Chris today. (That's fine by me. I much enjoy Chris's nipples.) Resident Evil 5 is what I would call a system-seller. I had absolutely no interest whatsoever in owning an X-Box 360 or Playstation 3 until this game came gallivanting into their libraries. It was not only my first true next-generation gaming console (a category I exclude the Wii from)...

Weekly Onion Round-up 2/12

Let's do an early round-up to make up for being a day late last week. I got a little bit more fodder to work with this week... Or rather, less things that I have more to gab on about. — Music for Relief released 4 more tracks — The "Download to Donate to Haiti" album has been given four more tracks which can be downloaded, free of charge, at the Music for Relief website. This includes "Butterfly" by Weezer, "Slipstream" by The Crystal Method, "Gold Guns Girls" by Metric, and "Times Like These...

Weekly Onion Round-Up 2/7

Hello, my little onions. I'm a liar, a dirty liar. These are the eyes of a liar. Because I don't really have anything to round up this week. At least, not anything that would interest you in the smallest atom-sized bit. I've been a Mexican slave for the last few weeks, and I intend to continue such a routine. And why is that? Because Papa's got his eyes on some fancy new things. I need to pick the fruit of such labor. Such as the brand spank'n new computer I'm using at this very moment. Finally,...

Weekly Onion Round-Up 1/30

I can't say there's a tremendous amount that has interested me this week. It's probably from all the work I've continued to amass, and that the few remaining hours left unsold to my employer have been consumed by Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. Then again, maybe some things DID pique my interest, but the Bloody Marys coursing through my veins could be suppressing my short term memory at the moment. Regardless, I didn't want to miss my onion round-up on its one week inception-versary, so here's SOMETHING f...

Weekly Onion Round-Up 1/23

I haven't been writing a tremendous amount lately considering my 50-60 hour work weeks. (Hey, Papa needs a new computer.) For that, I do apologize. I wanted to start a sort of weekly wrap-up thing-a-ma-bob for quick little tidbits I've collected throughout the week (mostly gaming-related) that I find particularly interesting. I call it the "Weekly Onion Round-Up." For its debut however, everything is going to be fairly... outdated. So if any of this is old news (for, you know, the three peopl...

With Mega Man 10, Capcom reminds us that they don’t know when to quit.

UPDATE 12/12/09: Thanks to The Mega Man Network, we've got more details. Head on over for all the details, as well as an image of another Robot Master known as Commando Man. The article also notes that there won't be a female Robot Master this time around, obviously because Commando Man is emitting an excessive amount of manliness. Well, it's definitely not ground-breaking by any means, but after the lazy travesty that was Operate Shooting Star, it's nice to have a Mega Man title to look forw...

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition is orgasmic

Update 2: OK, so upon researching some more, I got some more tidbits to share. Basically, each download pack will also include some extra figurines to go along with the new character models. Furthermore, the extra Mercenaries characters are so far too-good-to-be-true. According to the official Japanese site, the two costumes available in the first Costume Pack are Warrior Chris and Folklore Sheva. And the first two Mercenaries characters to get confirmed? ... Warrior Chris, and Folklore Shev...

Initial impressions on EXE: OSS…

Hopefully this will be the last time I feel compelled to write about what may possibly be the most disappointing Mega Man title ever (which released yesterday in Japan). I'm almost writing this entry out of obligation. I'm thinking of retro-timing the entry so Beyoncé can stay at the top of the page... While I have not played the game myself yet, I've gotten a lot of reports from my peers that I can basically summarize in three words: Waste. Of. Time. ・ Aside from a couple of underwhelming...
