With a few minutes to spare, I filmed a few random matches in Injustice: Gods Among Us. I love the little kid in the background screaming, “Batman!” as my Bruce Wayne destroyed the Flash.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Review
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale isn’t going to win any awards for originality, though I don’t think that’s the point here. Sony at this point in its life seemingly has the cast of characters and the cache to pull this off, so why not? While this provides a decent Smash Bros.-like experience, the devil is in the details, which it misses in a number of key areas.

Looking Back At Super Street Fighter II on the Super Nintendo
During the golden age of fighting games, I did most of my virtual pugilism at home. Wiith a Super Nintendo controller in hand, my friends and I spent countless hours playing Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct. For me, my fighting game frenzy reached its peak with Super Street Fighter II on the SNES.

Universal Fighting Game Guide: Choking
Mind over matter is a valid adage in the world of fighting games. Most matches are won by knowledge and good decision-making; not through large combos. However, the human mind can’t always be counted on when it’s under enough stress. Players in fighting games sometimes choke, just like anyone in any form of competition.
How can you take advantage of a choking opponent without caving under pressure yourself? Find out in this installment of the Universal Fighting Game Guide

Why I Love Wolverine in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Wolverine is my second favourite comic book character of all-time. I’ve always been a fan of his lone wolf mentality, heart-driven decisions, and adamantium claws that he liberally uses to slice foes into confetti. Upon the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, I picked him up right away and haven’t looked back. Even if he sucked, I’d probably find a way to make use of him, though he just so happens to be awesome in this series. In a modern world of Zero, Vergil and Dr. Doom players, here’s why I use Logan.
Top 10 Games of This Generation – #1 – Street Fighter IV
The fighting game genre had been left for dead long before the release of Street Fighter IV. After Super Street Fighter II, I left the genre because the games got too complicated, the competition among players got too fierce, and as a Nintendo-only console owner, the fighting game options completely dried up.
Street Fighter IV did way more than just provide me with a fun blast from the past. It marked the beginning of me falling deeper into a video game rabbit hole than I’d ever fell before.
Top 10 Games of This Generation – #10 : Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Outside of the fighting game community, most saw Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as an overpriced DLC pack for the original game. While that argument wouldn’t necessarily be wrong, it was moot in the eyes of the competitive community. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was a game that was scorching hot at tournaments, but contained a number of flaws that stopped it from living up to its full potential. This game addressed all of those faults, from a shortage of characters, to the dreaded DHC glitch. For someone like me who had played hundreds of hours of the original and still hungry for more? This was excellent.
