Boredom has gotten the better of me yet again. I recently decided to get my hands on MAME roms once again and renew my collection. So this time I give you the Street Fighter game sprites themselves starting with everyone’s favorite US Air Force Emo, Guile. (photo by yours truly)
note: the sprites for Street Fighter II Championship Edition are essentially the same as with World Warrior’s except that Guile’s abs are bursting in CE. Also the Loss sprite from Super Street Fighter is the exact same as with CE. I’d add the other games Guile has appeared in but well, these are the only ones I have. So, tough.

The new Batman: Arkham Asylum game is going to be out soon and after seeing the gameplay videos I have to say I’m looking forward to this one. It seems to have gotten right most of what makes Batman cool for me. Stealth, hand-to-hand combat, high-tech gadgets, and nice atmosphere. The only gripe I have as of now with this title is that it is set in just one location, Arkham Asylum. Nothing wrong with that but imagine being able explore the whole of Gotham City, jumping from rooftop to roopftop, racing down the streets in the Batmobile. It would be a batgeek’s wet dream come true
So as the blog title suggests, I think the best game design idea for a Batman title is to have what basically boils down to a Grand Theft Auto/Batman game. Other games like Saint’s Row & Godfather have tried to rip-off GTA and that’s because if you are going to copy any game design, why not copy one of the best? Read the rest of this entry »

Street Fighter will always be a fond part of my life. I spent many an afternoon during my early teens parked in front of a Street Fighter II arcade machine at the local mall. Anyway my affinity towards the game series and for side-by-side comparisons has resulted in the this blog entry (or entries maybe…). So here is Ryu through the ages. Read the rest of this entry »
