Although the end of the show seems like something out of an episode of The Office, you can rest assured that this is not a gag. There are currently no details as to why he's leaving or where he's going, but the subject of his departure will purportedly be discussed on next week's 1Up Yours podcast. Until then, we can only speculate although Luke did leave a message in the NeoGAF forums. More »

1UP's resident Virtua Fighter freak James Mielke has an updated preview of the upcoming PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360 game Virtua Fighter 5 in which he reveals some interesting new info about the game. Included in the game's Quest Mode are custom characters inspired by and (very) loosely based on the Ziff-Davis editors. These include, but not limited to, Mielke himself (in the sleek Milky Pai) and news hound Luke Smith (Luke S. is a shades sportin' Shun Di). Very cool. More »
