Thoughts: Street Fighter IV

streetfighterivthoughts

So I picked up Street Fighter IV yesterday. I never really followed the game when it was revealed because the look turned me off so much and I thought they were going to EX-it-up again. Thankfully, that isn't the case, and SFIV is actually a pretty decent game. Not as good as the classic games, but a nice installment in the series. Head past the break for a breakdown of its pros and cons, as far as I think.

Poor PSP

My PSP sits on my desk, behind my monitor, and I was clearing some of the clutter today when I noticed the poor little handheld. The dust it gathers is incredible. Of course, this is dust from not having touched the thing in 7 months or so. It just has no games, so I never turn the damn thing on. Thanks to the Circuit City nonsense, however, I got a copy of Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins for like 8 bucks. So I look forward to playing that some time in the future.

Castle Crashers has locked onto my heart

Oh man, did you know Castle Crashers is available for download on XBLA? You need to get on that. 1200 points is steep, I know, but the gameplay is so damn good. I managed to get an hour in with Ben and my boss today, and with only one dropped game, we managed to plow through a bit of it. I think my level is 9 right now. Actually, I'm going to get back to playing it right now.
