Deep, Crisp And Even - Stoked Screens

Posted by Stuart Houghton at 10:40 AM on December 4, 2008

These screens from Bongfish Interactive's open-world snowboarding game Stoked do their best to show off the terrain and character models, but obviously can't really do justice to the game's main USP - the dynamic weather system.

Nice shots, though. As ever, pinches of salt should be kept within easy reach but if those are really in-game then this could be one to watch.

Posted by Michael McWhertor at 10:40 AM on December 3, 2008

Namco Bandai dropped eight new screens of the multi-platform Tekken 6 today. And if each shot isn't packed with rippling dude meat and screen-warping effects, it's packed with short shorts. Yes, they're that good.

Draw A Path To Love In The Chase - Screens

Posted by Stuart Houghton at 7:20 AM on December 3, 2008

The Chase is a good old fashioned love story. Boy meets girl, girl separates from boy, boy and girl attempt to reach each other by running at breakneck speed across surreal platform-filled landscape populated by bad guys and collectable power ups while an unseen hand draws bridges under the feet of both boy and girl.

Aww, its like something out of a Barbara Cartland novel.

The Chase from Razorback is due for release on the DS in February 2009. Some time around the 14th, I would imagine.

Screens on the link.

Udon's New Chun-Li Comic Gets Thighs Just Right

Posted by Mike Fahey at 12:20 AM on December 3, 2008

Udon Entertainment more than makes up for Kristin Kreuk's lack of thigh meat with their newly announced comic book miniseries Street Fighter Legends: Chun-Li.

Kicking off in January, SFL: Chun-Li will explore our favourite female fighter's earliest assignments with the Hong King police department, where she is partnered with a young woman named Po-Lin who has her own reasons for hating Shadaloo. The series will also offer some insight into the life of Chun-Li's father, Dorai, as well as Dan's dad, Go Hibiki. The press release also suggests that some Shadaloo bosses might make an appearance, and judging by the preview page filled with images of M. Bison, they could be right.

Hit the jump for more details, and hit the gallery that shows the horrible, horrible things Chun-Li's mighty, meaty thighs do to a police uniform.

Requiem for a Console

Posted by Owen Good at 10:00 AM on November 30, 2008

A gamer's fourth Xbox 360 red-ringed, and a veritable who's-who of consoles turned out to pay their respects and show their anguish that so many are dying so young, and so senselessly.

Tiggerboy, who keeps a blog on the UK GameSpot, brought in all the hardware dignitaries to bid the 360 goodbye. You can see the 360 packaged in his foam coffin (aka the Peter Moore Catafalque), ready to to be ferried by the Boatman of the Dead Consoles (aka the UPS guy) on his way back to Microsoft, where his remains will become part of the circle of console life. There's a gallery of the proceedings on the jump, including an astonishing, last-minute appearance by a disowned relative that will leave you heaving up great sobs.

Suikoden: Tierkreis - The Communal DS RPG

Posted by Mike Fahey at 12:40 AM on November 27, 2008

Konami has unleashed a flurry of new art, screens, and information on Suikoden: Tierkrieis, the game that takes the hunt for the 108 Stars of Destiny to the Nintendo DS.

Due out in March of next year, Tierkreis promises all of the gameplay elements fans of the franchise know and love, along with a "rich online community experience" utilising the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. Players will be able to send their characters on quests that other members of the community will complete for them, basically allowing for a giant community quest-pool. Once your character has made the rounds, they return to your game with a wealth of experience and treasures galore. It's a freaking communal RPG. I love it.

I also love the classic Suikoden art style, which if definitely represented here in all its clean and simple glory. Hit the link for screens, character art, and the jump for a fact sheet chock-full of handy information.
