Street Fighter x Tekken's Gem System has been quite a controversy in the fighting game community. There are those who feel it makes the game too easy, that it will, in fact, break the game itself. After playing through SFxT's tutorial and pumping in a couple of hours into versus mode, I think that Capcom has managed to pull it off. The Gems allow for some interesting strategy and have a risk/reward element that will make for one exciting game. More »

Take a look at this awesome graffiti found in the streets of Paris. A down and out Ryu from Street Fighter is added to that empowering image of Muhammad Ali's quickly-won 1965 heavyweight championship rematch against Sonny Liston, which these days you may see more often on the walls of college students than of boxing aficionados.

Bravo to 1Up for getting Capcom's Yoshinori Ono, producer of the Street Fighter series, to reenact this gem from M. Bison's hilariously awful dialogue in 1994's Street Fighter: The Movie. He dropped by their offices last week to talk Street Fighter X Tekken. More »

We've known for a while that Kuro and Toro, the Sony cat mascots, would find their way into Street Fighter X Tekken. Also, Cole McGrath from inFamous. The inclusion of classic (i.e. shitty) box art Mega Man and Pac-Man also weren't much of a mystery, but their appearance is confirmed in this video, along with the full terms of their inclusion in the Capcom/Namco fighting team-up.

So, fighting game fans everywhere know that Namco and Capcom will be pitting their marquee martial arts franchises against each other. Each company's making one game and Capcom's first out the gate with Street Fighter x Tekken.

This weekend I had the good fortune to attend NYU Practice, a fantastic in-depth conference on game design. I was repeatedly surprised at how clever the solutions were to the presented challenges. The lessons were both insightful and, more importantly, applicable as a game designer working for a social games startup. The NYU Game Center really hit the ball out of the park, and I can't wait to attend next year. More »
