It all started with Daigo.
Daigo Umehara is one of the best, if not the best Street Fighter player in the world. His rise to fame started with his defeat of Justin Wong in EVO 2004 where he parried all of Chun-Li’s attacks then countered it with one of his own to get the victory. Now that I have Super Street Fighter IV, I’ve been watching videos of his matches on YouTube, trying to learn from them as much as I can.
I inevitably ran into Cross Counter TV and from there got to The Excellent Adventures of Gootecks and Mike Ross, both of which are hosted by the aforementioned professional Street Fighter players. Cross Counter TV covers match analysis, news and recaps, mostly focused on Street Fighter but occasionally branching out to other fighting games as well. What I really enjoy though is Excellent Adventures.

God of War’s Kratos is going to be available as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 9 for the PS3. Unlike the other fighters, he won’t have single-player content, appearing only in VS mode.

Who he is and how he’s able to do allthis have been unanswered questions since the first game. Reuniting with former squadmate Liara T’Soni in the second installment reveals that he had a hand in recovering Shepard’s corpse and, somewhere in the process, earned Liara’s wrath. Lair of the Shadow Broker promises to take you to his base of operations and a chance to continue your relationship with Liara. Does it deliver? Read more… »

I’m taking a break from the usual WoW posts to take a look at Prototype. It’s like a cross between Devil May Cry and Grand Theft Auto, if both of them took place in a war-torn police state.
Expect the mayhem to come in June for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
