GameSpoon - Zero Punctuation: Resident Evil 5

Needless to say, I don't really give a damn about Resident Evil 5. I didn't have much of an issue with the game until I found out that Capcom is forcing people to invest more money into the game if they want to play online. Well, it might not be a lot of money, but it's the concept behind that - how far will this micro-transaction (aka "nickel and diming") bullshit go? I've already been a sucker for many other games - Halo 3, COD 4 & 5, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Street Fighter 4...I just don't really want to invest in RE5, because I just don't really have a drive to do that.

However, I still love Capcom and Yahztee's colorful review of the game just makes me want to play Resident Evil 4 again, maybe I'll fire that game up this weekend!

GameSpoon - Street Fighter 4 Training Manual

You love Street Fighter 4, don't you? I do! Well, Capcom sent out a sweet training manual to the press during the launch of Street Fighter 4; well fear not, now you too can own this manual...for FREE!

"How is this possible?" You ask. I'll tell you! Capcom's Unity site has the PDF version of the training manual up on their site for download, you can find it here:

Thank Capcom for this awesome-ness!

GameSpoon - Street Fighter 4

Last night SpoonThrash and I had our first online SF4 match against each other. Ken (SpoonThrash) vs. Ryu (SpoonRock) - classic.

It has been nearly a week since the two of us got our hands on a copy of Capcom's new Street Fighter. So far, we've spent that time training and exploring this game. But neither one of us had decided to fight each other yet...until last night.

Needless to say, it was a bad-ass experience. Shoryuken's were coming out of the wood-work. I won the first match (best of 3), Thrash won the second match (best of 5). I think MasterThrash has to teach me some of his skills....maybe this YouTube video will help?

Street Fighter 4 is awesome.
