Today I had the wonderful chance to play a little fighting game called Street Fighter 4. I had the PC version running with a couple of joypads hooked up to my comp. I played this against numerous opponents over the hour span I had it running. Needless to say, I mopped the floor with those filthy malnourished scrubs. Noone could ante up to the caliber of smack down I was laying down earlier today. Enough of me telling you facts, lets get on with my review.

Street Fighter 4 is one of the newer editions to one of the most famous and integral fighting games to the genre and video games as a whole. Street Figher 4 is a brand new and modern version of your favorite series of fighting games. SF4 is also one of the very first Street Fighter games to be rendered in mind blowing 3d. Thats right folks, 2009 and Capcom is finally no longer slaving away in their sdk's painstakingly making hundreds of sprites for each character! Finally we can enjoy our favorite fighter filled with mind blowing glowing hadoukens and up the ass particle effects, yo. Enough about the totally zany graphics and technology engine, lets talk about what makes this game fun. Speaking of fun, this game is an absolute blast to play, especially if you're a total boss at it like me. This game has your regular cast of characters that you're used to like Ryu and Sagat, plus a few newcomers like El Fuerte and Rufus. As usual, everyone in the game has the basic layout of quick attacks, strong attacks and fierce attacks. On top of these basic attacks, each of these characters new and old have their own special moves that you can execute with a mix of directional inputs and attack moves. This can leave to some pretty interesting results when going against others, at times that you can use these specials much to your advantage, other times they will leave you very vulnerable, so timing is key here. Overall SF4 is a very strong and much needed 3D addition to this famous fighting series.

This morning, and I mean earlier than when I played Mario Kart and SF4 with my bros, we talked about nothing other than everyones favorite game series, Pokemon. We basically touched up on many aspects of the wide array of 'things' that Pokemon can morph into. We discussed errythang from the card games and how we didnt know how to play, to the Pokemon video game series that we all know how to play. Overall, the general feel towards Pokemon as a whole is a very positive one. What can I say, we all love Pokemon. We then talked about Digimon, a very similar but not as cool series based around monsters you can catch and train. After a quick google search, we concluded that Digimon was not the originator and was in fact biting off of Pokemon. After this, we watched smosh's rendition of the Pokemon theme song, always funny.

Time to get back to gaming...
