I'm too lazy to write a look at my favorite games of 2k8 so instead I'll just say my favorite games last year were The world ends with you, Portal(I played it in 2k8), STHD, Dead Space, fallout 3, Dragon Quest 4, Final Fantasy 4 and Warhawk. I didn't play as much games as I would have liked to, and on that note leads me to my thoughts on 2k9 and my resolutions. With the calender flipping to a new year means we are that much closer to getting access to Street Fighter 4 on console. I think it should be really obvious to everyone that the game will be the main focus of our scene and probably the entire scene in general. Right now there are 6… (more)

Happy New Years everyone. It's 2009, and here's the first blog post of the year! I hope everyone had a decent Christmas/Boxing Day/New Year's Eve. It's officially the year of the new fighting games, this also means that I have to put my pre-order down for Street Fighter IV somewhere this month (Guess not, read ahead). Collectors Edition or not?

Simply put, it's going to be hectic tomorrow for everyone as well as on Christmas Day, and who could forget ol' Boxing Day. I'm pretty much set on NOT going out on Boxing day since we all know I've pretty much got everything I wanted. New Monitor, better sound system, few new games to try out and such. I've been dabbling in too many games lately and it seems to be taking a toll on me. Those blasted MMORPGs known as Ragnarok Online and Mabinogi are somewhat taking up little bits of my time. I can't say I'm addicted since most of you do see me on my PS3 Online. I'm… (more)

If you've ever been on SRK during the holiday season, chances are you know about this poem.  It posted every year at around this time.  For those that haven't, here it is.  Hope you all have a happy holiday season. How Akuma Stole Christmas by Gavin "Vokter Seuss" Jasper Every fighter from Capcom liked Christmas a lot, But the demon secret boss from Capcom did not. Akuma hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Besides writers at Gamefaqs, no one quite knows the reason. It could be that his tattoo was glowing too bright, It could be, perhaps, that his beads were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that his black belt was two sizes too small. But, Whatever the reason, His belt or tattoos, He stood there on Christmas Eve, pitying the foo's, Staring… (more)
