Ever since Sega announced that the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5 would be getting online multiplayer, fans of the series have been salivating over the though of going online and kicking each other's asses all over Xbox Live, except for me of course. I plan on forgetting to pick up the game for reasons in no way involving saving myself from complete humiliation. October 30th has been announced as the date that game retailers across the country respond to phone calls with, "No, that's just the ship date...we'll have it tomorrow, which means there is still time to preorder *click* hello?" It's a Virtua Fighter 5 Halloween Spooktacular!

Sorry, I've just always wanted to use the word Spooktacular.
