We are on vacation. We will be back soon!
Our buddy ibuckyi has made another recording, but this time on the Street Fighter IV Benchmark Tool for Windows 7. It's interesting to see that you can max out your street fighter settings on a mid range HD3870 graphics card. In other words, finding out the right resolution is important when it comes to playing at a good 60fps. You cannot expect it to play at high res if your card can't handle it even if your monitor can handle the resolution. Thanks for the tip bucky!
The gameplay is an action brawler for the PC like Streets Of Rage, and Final Fight. Closed beta will begin the first quarter of 2010, and the final product will be released early summer or fall (If closed beta goes well).

In America arcades are now of the past, but in Japan it still lives on. This clip shows a 6vs6 match with a full 180 degree optical display that brings the realism of being in a Mobile Suit Gundam. Something about being up front, and personal makes the experience way better then sitting on the couch. So when will Nintendo invent a home console like this? Why Nintendo? It's because they live up to their moto of their system being a "home arcade".

Here is another landmark worth seeing this summer when you visit Japan. The 59 foot 1979 Gundam marks the 30th anniversary of the franchise. This is located on the artificial island of Odaiba Shiokaze Park over at Tokyo bay. It will be on display starting July 2009 for 2 months. All these years we all wondered what it would look like life size, and now it's finally coming true.

If you didn't watch the fight last night well here is the 9 second video knock out. It shows that a 48 year old boxer can still kick ass. Tim Sylvia gets knocked out by Fedor, he then takes on boxing to gain his rep, and now look what happens. Better to concentrate on his skills first before he even tries to open his mouth.
The new Indiana Jones game is actually not bad. The graphics have been upped a notch on the Wii (Kind of like the KingPin PC game), but as for the controls it was a hit, and miss. BUT! before we come to a conclusion that the controllers are not responsive. This was played on an HD TV, and not your regular CRT TV. Due to the Wii's hardware limitations it produces a delayed response from the controller to the HD TV. If we had a CRT TV it would have been super "responsive".

If Wii had more robust RPG titles like the DS it would be a winner. Heck we don't mind if it doesn't have any motion controls at all. We just want epic stories that we can remember like FFIV, FF7, and FF9 etc.. As much as Crystal Chronicles being different from the other franchises.. it aint cutting it.

The video says it all, but isn't Cody from Final Fight suppose to be doing the car smash instead of RYU?

Thanks to our Buddy for posting a nice video of Final Fantasy VII PC working on Windows 7. He explains that you don't need the XP patch or any patch to run the game properly. So if Final Fantasy 7 works "flawlessly" on Windows 7 then it's time to bury the old hatchet.
