Let\'s play a game. I\'ll throw out a few words, and you\'ll see how many of \'em make sense. Ready? Here we go. Punch. Kick. Throw. Jump. Fireball. Get most of those? Let\'s try round two. Shoto. Footsies. FADC. QCFx2. EX. How about that list? Read more

PS3 console games as good as Street Fighter IV are a good example of old and popular source material and game play that has been enhanced wonderfully to produce a new experience for the Playstation 3 that's better than the original arcade experience Read more

To call this game a Diablo clone would be an understatement. Torchlight takes place in a solitary town with an ever expanding, randomly generated dungeon. It features magic potions, town portals, randomly generated loot drops, and tons of enemies that require an excessive amount of mouse clicking. The game is not original in any way but it is a ton of fun. Read more
- Diablo styled gameplay with some welcome additions.
- No online multiplayer in this version.

Street Fighter IV effortlessly captures the Street Fighter spirit. It's instantly familiar but with enough innovation to interest fighting game fanatics willing to dig a little deeper. Read more

Street Fighter IV is a true fighting game through and through. No over-complicated game modes or additional mini games get in the way of the straight-up combat, and there aren’t any bells and whistles tacked on for the sake of things. Although straightforward, SFIV can be incredibly complicated at the higher levels allowing for good competition prospects. A great cast, quality graphics and a solid engine make this one of the best fighters in years. Read more
- Excellent graphics, Easy to pick up, Great online mode
- No additional modes, Won't convert any non-fighting fans

has become a very good fighting game and certainly manages to reach the level of Street Fighter II. It's got a nice balance between nostalgia and innovation and thanks to this will certainly appeal to both newcomers and veterans to the series. Forget Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive... the King Street Fighter is back. Read more
- Still unequalled fighting, New characters, Focus Attack, Balance
- Soundtrack, Arcade could use some more depth

Capcom's Street Fighter IV leaves me satisfied but with the overwhelming sensation that this latest installment is merely Street Fighter II prettied up for next generation gamers. Not much has changed which may be a good thing for some, but others like me were expecting a bit more than a prettier re-dux. If that's good enough for you, at least track down an arcade controller as either standard console controller is near useless for tapping into all the moves. Read more
- Visually stunning, Classic characters return, Various game play mode
- Execution of special moves can be frustrating, Horrible anime cut-scenes

If that hasn’t convinced you to pick up a copy of SFIV, maybe this will: the graphics are outstanding! Sure, the character models are hulking monsters compared to their original opposites, but they have now gone 3D and look beautiful in motion. While the game is still fought on a 2D plane, SFIV is one of the best looking fighting games you’ll be able to experience on any system to date. Read more

It's good to have you back! Although fun, sequels that were released for Street Fighter II generation after generation swayed away from the basic gameplay that made us all fall hard for it in the first place. The simple controls and key strategy techniques that could make a battle go any way at any time were what made it so addictive and fun. Isn’t that why so many of us have Street Fighter II in our XBLA or PSN libraries? Read more

SF IV features a mix of returning favorites (Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li etc.) along with new characters created for this game, such as Crimson Viper, Abel, El Fuerte, and Rufus. Characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D, while the game is played in the classic 2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes. Read more
