In today’s Jett Vs. post, we’ve got a match between my Cammy and Gabriel6937’s Ryu. This was a slobber-knocker of a match that I had fun being a part of. Click through to see the fight and some match analysis from me!

WrestleFest for iPhone Review
The original WrestleFest is renown as an old school wrestling and arcade classic. I used to remember seeing this game at arcades everywhere. A lot of people have fond memories of the original (including yours truly), which immediately flooded back when I found out that WrestleFest was out on iOS.
Turns out, this is not the WrestleFest of yesteryear, though it tries really hard to replicate the original experience with some modern touches. Are you ready to take it to the mat with a new version of WrestleFest?
Coming Soon: Mass Effect 3
To label myself as “excited” for Mass Effect 3 would be an understatement. Anything less than “giddy like a little school girl” would be selling my excitement short. Mass Effect 3 is my most anticipated game of 2012 and it’s coming out in just a few days.
Jett vs. CK0 Phantom, a Top 10 Dhalsim in Super Street Fighter IV: AE 2012
On today’s edition of Jett vs., I face off against some lofty competition. CK0 Phantom at the time we fought, was the #7 ranked Dhalsim on XBOX Live. Going into the match, I was really nervous, as I was facing someone a few levels above me, and someone who had their mic plugged in and was freely cursing back at me. Hearing the person on the other side always puts me on edge, and sometimes it rattles me to the point where I play worse. Was I able to overcome my nerves to win?
Eyes-On – Rhythm Heaven Fever
I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more…Rhythm Heaven? To my surprise, the Rhythm Heaven franchise is back on North American shores; this time on the Wii. While the DS original was wildly popular in Japan, the game’s inherent craziness in a way that only Japan can provide pretty much sealed its fate as a cult hit at best everywhere else in the world.
My brother, who was a huge fan of the original, recently picked up a copy of Rhythm Heaven Fever. I took some time out to watch him play. Did watching the game win me over like it won my brother over? Or did I find it as culturally inpenetrable as the Mr. Sparkle commercial?
Jett vs. AceUnlimited: The Street Fighter IV Salty Runback
The last time I ran into AceUnlimited, who is the #1 ranked Guy player on PSN, I felt like I put up a pretty good fight. Granted, in the six matches we played, I did not win once, but I think I hung in there pretty well. In particular, the first match in our set came down to the wire. To be honest, I’ve been a bit salty about it ever since.
As luck would have it, we would run into each other again on XBOX Live. Would the salt running through my veins be enough to power me to victory against the same person that bodied me convincingly the last time we played?
Dominion by Donald X. Vaccarino for iPhone/iPad Review
My love of video games has historically not translated well into other forms of gaming. When it comes to card games, I don’t play anything more complicated that Klondike Solitaire. As far as designer card games go, anything beyond Uno I either classify as too complicated, too boring or too nerdy for my tastes.
While I still hold that general sentiment around card games (designer card games in particular), I fell in love with Dominion not too long ago. My girlfriend invited me to a game night hosted by one of her coworkers, and we spent all night playing Dominion. What surprised me most about the game was how easy it was to learn while exhibiting a great level of depth. I told Steff multipe times as we were playing it that the mechanics that drive Dominion scratches an itch that I normally get out of Street Fighter.
Immediately after our first game, I searched the iTunes app store to find a Dominion equivalent. To my surprise, it’s available as a free download. While you won’t need to read my review to decide if it’s worth your money, you may want to see if Dominion on the iPhone is worth your time.
Universal Fighting Game Guide: How to Transition From Control Pad to Fightstick
For most of my fighting game playing life, I played fighting games with a control pad. It was what I was most comfortable with and I had no interest in learning how to play these games with any other control method. However, in 2010, I felt like I was ready to switch to a fightstick. There was a steep learning curve to it, but I’m glad that I ultimately made the switch.
I know there are a lot of people out there making the transition in hopes of upping their game. Making the switch isn’t an easy process, but I’m hoping that this post may help you ease into a fightstick if/when you decide to give it a go.
Early Thoughts on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Despite the series success over the years, critics of the Zelda series have knocked it for being too formulaic. I don’t play enough Zelda games to feel that way, but I understand the point. With that said, I loved Twilight Princess and still believe that Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest video games of all-time.
Going into Skyward Sword, I was super-excited to jump back into the land of Hyrule to save the princess and save the world. As of writing, I’m at the front steps of the second dungeon, and my excitement has cooled off considerably.
