ORA! ORA! ORA! As part of the ongoing Tokyo Game Show festivities, Sega has released a video teasing a brand new project in line with its legendary fighting series,Virtua Fighter.However, the publisher has since remained tight-lipped on what the project actually is. The one-minute teaser begins with the classicVirtua Fighter“Press Start” sound effect, before seguing into footage of previousVFtournaments, as players go head-to-head on the awesome one-vs-one fighter. The video ends with poster boy Akira stood with his back to the camera, followed by the simple message “Virtua Fighter x Esports”....

Mine was grrrrrrrreat You can’t always win. That’s a lesson I learned early in life when my parents taught me how to bet on the ponies. I was never good at picking which horse would finish first, but I was basically a savant at picking which one would end up last. Our lives are dotted with choices that didn’t necessarily turn out the way we expected them to. That movie we were excited to see turned out to be a goose or that TV show returning for a new season ended up far more disappointing than we expected....

Don’t miss out on Rayman Legends Happy new year! I don’t know about the rest of you, but despite last night’s festivities, the first thing I did after waking up today was check out thenew Steam deals. It’s become a routine, for better or worse. Daily deals: I don’t find this to be a very compelling group, but I do quite like the current set of flash sales:Legend of Grimrock($2.99),Interstellar Marines($5....

The new update is two downloads The long awaited “A Shadow Falls” story mode is now live inStreet Fighter V, which also brings along an update that introduces premium costumes, Ibuki, and Balrog. They’re actually two separate patches in fact, both of which add up to a whopping 16GB — half of the size of modern major releases. We’ll have more thoughts on the campaign down the line. For now, you may as well set your downloads if you’re headed off to work!...

Check out everything Destructoid did today Geoff Keighley’s expression in this now infamous photo still gets me. Speaking of Doritos and journalism, Jim wrote a thought-provoking piece regarding the recent controversy,007 Legendsis kinda-sorta not good, Chad confessed his love for theAssassin’s Creedseries, and so many more amazing things happened on 16-06-2025.

Here’s the scenario: You are playing a videogame and reach an unexpected gameplay twist. Confronted with a timed sequence, your taken-by-surprise skills fail you and the sequence ends unsuccessfully, resulting in an irreparably tragic set of circumstances. Unfortunately, this being a retro game, there is no autosave at a nearby checkpoint. If you restart the game to retry the sequence you will have to go back quite a ways to the last save point....

AfterunveilingBejeweled Twistat a recent eventin Seattle, PopCap presented press and industry people with the chance to get their hands on the follow-up to the immensely popular puzzle game. We gave it a spin — pun intended — to give you our impressions. I’ve always enjoyed poking at the olderBejeweledtitles in my downtime, as they never required much brain power to enjoy. Even thoughBejeweled Twisthas a totally new game play mechanism, at first glance, I did not think it would be any more difficult or challenging than its predecessors were....

Do you like games that crush your soul through sheer difficulty? Do you like games that reward your persistence and give you a massive endorphin boost when you finally overcome the hurdles and feel all-powerful? I have the perfect game for you. I’ve never enjoyed overly difficult games; I play games to relax, not spike my blood pressure. But there’s this one game you may not have heard about that’s crushingly difficult, yet weirdly offers a relaxing experience at the same time....

Make Martin Sahlin the King of Games The true star of E3 is back, now at gamescom. Nervously taking to stage once more, Martin Sahlin and Yarny showed off some live gameplay ofUnravelwhile giving a heartfelt speech about what presenting at E3 really meant to him. Unravelis a 2D physics platformer, requiring Yarny to use his own body’s yarn to make bridges and swings to traverse the world. Martin is adorable,Unravellooks great, and I can’t wait to see how it is when it releases in 2016....

Unless you decide to sleep after lunch, you should noticeEver Crisiswill reset the day long before you go to bed! Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisishas its daily reset at 4:00 PM EDT, or 1:00 PM PDT....

By now, we all know full well thatSonic AdventureandCrazy Taxi(sans the original music) are heading for PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade later this year. Dreamcast ports on these two platforms is a potentially delightful concept, although admittedly these first candidates could be better. Yosuke Okunari, producer of these ports at Sega, hinted at the possibility of Saturn games getting a similar digital download treatment. In an interview with Impress Watch,he dropped the following line: “we’re of course thinking about ports of Saturn games....

I still love his theme, though Guile, it’s nothing personal, but I hate you. You just…don’t jive with what I like to do. You’re very straight-laced and stone-faced, and I like my fighters on the wackier side. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I think you’re better than ever before. I love what you’ve done to try and distance yourself from your past. But the fact of the matter is, despite everything, you’re still you....
