Udon’s Art of Capcom Complete Edition Review

Udon has been around for 14 years, working closely with Capcom to produce comics, art books, and video games and bring us closer to our favourite franchises. I've been a fan of Udon ever since Kotaku wrote a post about their first art book Udon's Art of Capcom. It was big, bold, and showed that …

September Sakura: Street Fighter Legends: Sakura Review

The Street Fighter Legends series serves as side stories to the main story line being crafted by Udon based on the popular Capcom fighting games. Each character got four issues and a trade paper back. What I like about the Legends series is that its fun. There's no world ending story or deep meaning behind …

September Sakura: Street Fighter Sakura Ganbaru! Volume 2 Review

Mike Zaimont, creator of the indie game Skullgirls, when asked why he didn't change the name of game since there were two male DLC characters, responded "the same way Capcom can still call it 'Street Fighter' when they fight inside" And its true. For all the Street Fighting Street Fighter boasts, there's not a lot of …

September Sakura: Street Fighter Sakura Ganbaru! Volume 1 Review

Street Fighter is very accepting in terms of allowing people to participate in it's world championship tournaments. Not to the extent of Tekken by allowing animals to compete but still, Street Fighter accepts fighters from all walks of life, fighting style, gender, and sexuality. But I would've thought they'd at least set an age bracket for …

September Sakura: Origins of a Street Fighter

Recently I've been pondering on what to write about. Digging through my art book collection I discovered a handful of Udon books, all the Penny Arcade volumes including the 10th anniversary, and a couple of miscellaneous gems that I've picked up at trade shows. Thinking that you guys would get bored of me raving about …

Marvel vs. Capcom Official Complete Works Review

I've always been a fan of fighting games but more so the graphics. Pixel perfect key frames, fluid animation, and a large influence from manga and anime made it just as fun to look at, as it was to play. I consider Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes the pinnacle of fighting game …

The 5 Do’s and 5 Don’ts of Video Games

It's hard to argue that nothing has changed from the last console generation to this one. We have seen many layoffs, the rise of indie games, the saturation of genres and memes a plenty. Even though we are well underway with this console generation I still think that developers and publishers can still learn a …

Anime Doppelgängers and Dead Ringers

So I've been watching a lot of anime recently. And I mean a lot! When you do that, you start to get double vision or at least your mind starts seeing characters all over the place. Here a few dead ringers or doppelgängers that some how made it into other anime series. Vato Falman/ FMA …

Hey Breezy, What Time is it?

It's been a while since I've watched Adventure Time. I used to watch it religiously and could see where the popularity came from. The show was profound behind it's childish exterior and the writing is incredibly sharp. Each episode wavered between one off silly stories to interesting thematic ones with the episode 'Burning Low' being the …

A Wild Speculation has Appeared: Nintendo E3 Reveals and Announcements

With only a few days before E3 the internet hype machine is already pumping out lots of rumors and speculation. Will there be slimmer models of XBONE and PS4? Will Microsoft release it's own portable system? Will SONY release a game that actually uses the touch pad on the PS4? Except, instead of those two …
