This set of matches includes the AquaSilk fight, but he’s not the only one looking to smash my face in. I may or may not have gotten my face smashed in more than once in this video.

Rocksmith 2014 Review
I owe a lot to the original Rocksmith. With its help, I achieved my lifelong dream of being able to playing the guitar with some form of competency. Sure, I have a long way to go before I can rock a sold out stadium, but I’ve developed a foundation of knowledge and skills to play music today with a clear road map for growth that I can follow with or without the game. Case in point, I was able to learn the song 22 by Taylor Swift without any assistance from the game, which I think was a huge milestone in the development of my guitar skills.
With that said, that original Rocksmith didn’t make the learning process as seamless as it could have been. On a fundamental level, it was a good teaching tool trapped in a bad video game, as its traditional career mode ended up hampering the learning process for players of all skill levels. This time, Rocksmith 2014 cuts any pretense of trying to be the next Guitar Hero to instead focus on being the best guitar teacher it can be.
JettFTW vs. AquaSilk in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition
Squaring off against one of the best Zangief players in the world! Or watch our match with his commentary here!
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Impressions
It was only a matter of time before Mortal Kombat tried follow in the footsteps of Marvel vs. Capcom. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe may not have the same ring to it (or make that much sense), though it didn’t necessarily have to. Even though this game came out before Street Fighter IV revitalized the genre, it managed to sell well in its own right.
Years after NetherRealm evolved their formula twice over with the Mortal Kombat reboot and Injustice: Gods Among Us, now is a really odd time for me to play this for the first time. While it’s not necessarily worth going back to play this now, the game isn’t without merit.
Hotline Miami Impressions
Hotline Miami grabbed my attention immediately with its retro art style, gritty story and phenomenal music. Having won me over on style, I wanted to get into this game in the worst way to see where it went. But then the reality of its gameplay set in.
Jett Plays Skullgirls: Encore
I try out Squigly for the first time while discussing the franchise’s history and how this game weirdly ties into key moments of my life.
Girl Fight Demo Impressions
When fighting games first went mainstream in the 90s, there were a slew of knock-offs that were simply trying to cash in on the craze. I can rhyme off Ballz, Clayfighter and Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi as a few games that fit in this category, though there are dozens – if not hundreds – of other half-baked fighters looking to make a quick buck. While I only played the demo for Girl Fight on Xbox Live Arcade, I’m pretty sure you can add this to the list.
Injustice: Gods Among Us Matches
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.
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Review
Up until this point, I had never played a Sly Cooper game before. During its heyday, I was a big PlayStation hater and wanted nothing to do with Sony’s gaming endeavours. Since I bought a PlayStation 3 a few years back, I’ve been slowly making my way through the platform’s signature franchises. I can now cross Sony’s sneaky raccoon off the list, as I’ve played through Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Admittedly, I didn’t think I’d get much out of this stealth platformer, but it managed to impress nonetheless.
