Discussing panels for upcoming conventions and fighting games with a friend, we happened upon stories about teaching girls in our lives- past and present -how to play fighting games so there was something that we like that we could do together.

Capcom announced Marvel vs Capcom 3 a couple weeks ago. A list of characters was revealed and then a bunch of internet types started putting together lists of who they think should be in the game. All of them were terrible.

Back in the summer, SNK Playmore released The King of Fighters XII to both Japan and America and the response from gamers and reviewers have been very negative.

The King of Fighters XII has been announced by Ignition Entertainment for release in U.S. stores on July 28th! I can’t wait! I’m getting it for Xbox 360 and unfortunately it will lack the clan mode that the PS3 version will contain. I hate exclusives like that because that would have been cool to try [...]
