Next on the list of fighting game HD ports for Capcom is Darkstalkers Resurrection. This compilation features the second and third games in the series, as well as many of the modern trimmings found in their previous HD ports. Unlike Marvel vs. Capcom: Origins before it, the source material holds up much better and the modern features are really well integrated into the package. I enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would.
Just over 3 months ago, I got Rocksmith as a Christmas present from Steff. My initial impressions of it were generally positive, though something like this really takes time to pass judgment. Have I made any progress since?
Forget Bioshock 2. The real successor to Bioshock is finally here! Set in a whole new world with new characters, I am ready jump in. Should be picking up my copy today and will likely cover it soon in posts and as a discussion point on The Recurring Bosscast.
Reports out of PAX East indicate that XCOM: Enemy Unknown is getting directly ported to iOS. Because it is being ported in full, expect this one to be a premium price when it launches in the iTunes store.
I’m a huge fan of the Gears of War series. The original was the game that inspired me to buy an Xbox 360, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with its sequels. It’s built a lot of good will with me, which sort of makes it weird that I’m currently abstaining from the latest entry in the franchise.
After a good night’s sleep, Steff and I were still feeling hot on the place we saw the night before. That morning, we reached out to our real estate agent to lock things down for us. However, I got a call from Steff shortly after with some bad news.
With Bioshock Infinite just a few weeks away, we reminisce on our experiences with the franchise and our dreams for the future. Mat and Jason are generally unimpressed with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. Also, Jett explains why he thinks The Unfinished Swan is better than Journey.

War doesn’t always have to be presented in the style of Call of Duty. It doesn’t have to be about first person shooting. Or summer-blockbuster action. Or earning perks by playing endless amounts of team death match. It’s easy to hate on the military theme in video games because of ‘Call of Duty syndrome’, but there’s still room for military games to innovate. Valkyria Chronicles, released early in the PlayStation 3’s life-cycle, is easily the most unique military game of this generation.
The suite on the 2st floor would be a hard act to follow. Steff and I were gushing about it on the elevator ride down to the 16th floor, where our final stop of the night was. Before going into it, this one was sort of doomed, due to it being on a lower floor and more expensive. However, the building has already made a great first impression and who knows what we’ll find behind this next door.
Since its release, Fire Emblem: Awakening has been tough to track down in stores. Though I’ve heard reports of the game being under-shipped, there’s also the fact that it’s really good. I enjoyed it so much that I beat it twice before finalizing my review for Splitkick. If you can find it, the game is definitely worth tracking down!
