Capcom recently came out with some new Marvel vs. Capcom 2 vids, in anticipation of its re-release this summer on HD consoles.

The first one is a trailer, titled "Episode 1." Next, we have two "Strategy" videos, one featuring Wolverine and the other, Ryu. We've already seen the Ryu Strategy gameplay video earlier today, but for the same of completion (and convenience), all three are included here.

While Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix may have broken numerous digital download records on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, Capcom isn’t too keen on the idea of giving the same treatment HD Remix to the sequel, Street Fighter III.

"Rockstar’s Max Payne 3 hype train has started rolling, and with the release of brand new screenshots, I have to say I’m quite skeptical. Not only has Max gone from gritty, dark-haired antihero with a dark past to a baldie with more baggage than LAX, but the game mirrors 90% of every other third-person venture we’ve been given in the past couple years. Now, I enjoy my shooters as much as the next person, but I am firmly against the notion that every game I pick up should share the same c..."

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 won’t be able to make its expected released date on the Playstation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace at the end of June. The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 enhanced port of the popular 2D fighting game has been delayed by a least a month.

"I have taken the time to select eight great (and evenly matched) characters from both Marvel and Capcom and have decided to do a mock tournament for a little fun. I will break down the strengths of each contender, how I think the fight would go down, and state the winner. This is only the first round. The second round, semi-finals, and final match will be in the upcoming weeks. Those of you that know understand that I am a Marvel fan, but I promise to be un-bias and give Capcom credit where ..."

"After a recent press announcement Gaming Verdict got in touch with Archer at his Banbury Development studio and were promptly invited down to check out his new Wii game, Speed Zone. To say we were excited was an understatement. The only clue given on what to expect was that it was a racing game with a difference."

""Alexey Pajitnov was just 29 years old when he was working for the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1984. In that year, on June 6, he completed development on the first edition of Tetris. Yes, the puzzle game that has invaded our dreams and is built using nothing more than seven unique shapes made up of four blocks (officially called tetrads or tetriminos) turns 25 years old today.""

"FOR MOTHER RUSSIA! Zangief has been slowly stalking the battle arena since Street Fighter 2, making any opponent foolish enough to come within the grasp of his spinning piledriver pay the price. Zangief, a world class wrestler, entered the World Warrior tournament at the behest of the president of the now-defunct Soviet Union."

"The UK eSports Association (UKeSA), the official governing body for competitive gaming in the UK, has today announced that Capcom will unveil its games in development at the upcoming "GameOn! London event", to be held from 20th to 21st June at London's Olympia exhibition halls.

The public will be able to try some new games out, such as..."

"Silent protagonists, or for those who haven’t been properly acquainted with the English language; quiet heroes, aren’t exactly a common product of modern video games. However some have become famous for the lack of verbal engagement, whereas some would argue that it doesn’t create an extra axis of mystery to the character, but only renders them as bland and unimportant. Here is a small list of 5 silent protagonists in modern gaming, and how their silence altered how the game was perceiv..."

Well, it's not really a game you can buy. It's a homebrew game being released for the PC and Dreamcast. The game is called Hypertension. Not much is known about the game right now other than the fact that it is being made using the Edge Engine, which is based off of iD's Doom source code.

""The skateboard controller will redefine sports games by offering players a true skateboarding experience, hands-free, playing with friends and family at home or online in a variety of different locations.""

"Everybody loves launch days. Camping day and night outside of your local videogame store, spending lots of money on overpriced launched day systems, being unsure whether or not you’ll manage to get one of the few systems available...ok it’s not that great but hey, they only come round once every few years right?

Launch day is the biggest day for any new system and if successful it can mean a future of great possibilities. Then again, a poor launch can mean bad things in the long run. ..."

If you, as a North American, have long felt the itch to play a dating sim set in the 1920s featuring RTS elements, you can now thank NIS America for scratching it.

Sakura Wars is just that, a very popular series in Japan, and NIS is bringing it to NA on the Wii and PS2 in the form of Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love this autumn.

It's real classy.

""We'll definitely be looking at a lot of titles that have things like Street Fighter and Resident Evil in the title," Kramer said. "We're thinking about putting together a long list of the titles we're looking at, and then releasing it on Capcom Unity and having people vote on them. Ultimately we're looking at bringing between 20 and 40 titles to the PSN over the next several months.""

"His ‘X’ marks properly applied on, his chest hair fully grown, his stomach even a little flabby. Well, nevermind the flabby stomach. But look at that beard!"

"While there hasn’t been a single PSOne Classic title released in 2009 so far, Sony does have several games in the pipeline. Thanks to the ESRB, gamers can take a glance at the future PSOne Classics appearing on the Playstation Store."

Although April didn’t have as many blockbuster hits as in March, it was still filled with solid new game releases. The selection for Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade were especially solid last month.

"Shenmue; many may cheerfully recall the good times they had with the game while others will look on with a blank stare. Gamers have waited years for a new Shenmue title to grace consoles and allow them to continue the adventure. Considering Sega’s current state we doubt that will happen anytime soon, so now is as good a time as any to educate gamers about one of the industry’s most epic series."

"Video games have came a long way since their beginnings. Some franchises have been successful, and others have been destroyed. Some have always prospered, and others failed miserably. But what makes a good video game? Is it the games of the past that make the games of the future? In some ways, it is, and gamers have always wondered what games have really shined and influenced the games we play today. Well, it seems those gamers will get their answer today. TGR staff and writers have given ..."

In this article we chose five games from the much loved but short lived Sega Dreamcast console that we think should be released on the Xbox Live Arcade for all Xbox 360 players to enjoy.

"In response to the economic downturn, I am offering personal Tetris training sessions on a limited, first-come first-serve basis. I am a patient and non-judgmental coach.

Frequently Asked Question:
