I enjoy a good fighting game now and then, but they just don’t ever feel quite right, since I prefer the old arcade-style controls. Tapping buttons with my thumbs on a 360 controller just isn’t the same. I’ve been tempted to pick up a new arcade pad so I can really settle down and play...

If you’ve ever purchased a game with SecuROM, you know full well why DRM sucks. There’s nothing quite like having to jump through hoops to reinstall a game just because you reformatted or upgraded your computer. Unfortunately there are some games that are worth putting up with the DRM, which...

Final Fantasy games are well known for pushing the limits of the consoles that they are released on. Most notably were VII on the original PlayStation and X on the PS2. Now we know that the latest title in the series is going to be huge, but just how far is XIII going to push the PS3? To 11. Well, maybe not...

The NXE brought us Mii’s Avatars, which I haven’t really done a whole lot with to be honest. I spent roughly 5 minutes setting mine up the first day and haven’t touched it since. However, Microsoft has given us a good reason to put a little extra effort into your creation. You can now...
