Street Fighter IV accessories

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

I’m going to see how many times I can say, “surprise” in the first ten seconds.  Here’s the Tournament Edition Fightstick for Street Fighter IV.
It’s rather large.  I’ve been sitting on this video for a while, I actually got the stick a week before Street Fighter IV dropped [...]

Street Fighter IV: Nine hours later

It’s still very good.  I managed to get into a match earlier this evening and the latency was yellow.
Still, the experience of fighting another person was still in there.  So much better than fighting the computer, there were tactics and trickery involved and it was just very exciting.

There [...]

Untoten, Nacht de

Call of Duty: World at War was another World War II game.
I know, everytime I say I’m done with World War II as a setting, they come out with another WWII game and I pick it up.  This one, I picked up because it was on sale, and it has a cooperative game mode wherein [...]
