Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li teaser

The season of Street Fighter continues, Our first look at the up coming movie, Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li is out albeit in Japanese...but do you really need this trailer localized?
A few things that worry me, Balrog with a rocket launcher, M. Bison with curly blonde hair....Neal McDonough is the best they could find to play M. Bison...really?
And as cool as Vega is in the game seeing a man in spandex, Freddie Kruger claws and a shiney mask in a real life seems....odd.
Note to director...Chun Li throws Kikokens, not Hadokens....
Enjoy Watching Kristin Kreuk kick ass and learn to channel her chi to catch a sword between her palms....never seen that before in a kung fu movie. >.<

Wow the resemblance is UNCANNY!

Did Santa deliver the goods?

So how'd the jolly fat guy from up north do? Did you get the thing your heart most desired this Christmas?



I can't complain, I got some sweet loot in the form of 2 Blu Ray movies, one PS3 exclusive, one fully reserved SFIV collectors edition, and 3 lift tickets at Mt. Creek.





Feel free to drop a line and share what ya got or just leave some holiday cheer!















Free Swim will be back after the New Year, so Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year from the staff at Free Swim

Street Fighter IV: Here Comes a New Challenger X2

With Street Fighter IV launching in 58 days the roster is finally complete with the official announcement that Gen from Street Fighter 1 and Rose from Street Fighter Alpha are joining the fray.

I always liked Gen and his two fighting styles you could switch between on the fly. I was never able to play him consistantly enough to be competitive but I was impressed by those who could.

Rose, I was never that interested in her as a fighter...getting beat up by a scarf >.<

Below is the offical Street Fighter IV roster come February 17th, 2009!

Street Fighter IV PS3 Collectors Edition details

The good folks over at the unity boards have fed the Capcom super computer and it has extrapolated crucial data regarding the Street Fighter IV Collectors Edition. After extensive probing of Street Fighter fans the Capcom Super Computer has updated information showing a less than 100% approval rating of the Street Fighter IV box art, which means the shakles don't come off yet....

The metools at Capcom have created a brand

spanking new box art for the regular and Collectors edition which boosted the approval percentage to 200%!

How do they do it!?

Keeping with awesome that began with the launch of SSFIITHDR, the collectors edition of SFIV will come with some ultra cool swag!
A limited-edition Ryu figurine, Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind: a 65 minute anime movie on BluRay disc, a mini-strategy guide from Prima, written by the same people doing the full-on guide and illustrated by Udon Comics, a CD soundtrack.…Plus some secret additional downloadable content.

So will you be laying the $59.99 + tax for just the game OR $79.99 for a very Shoryuken Christmas?

Final Fantasy Agito XIII trailer

Here's the trailer for FF Agito XIII! Playing card games never looked so perilous.

God of War III VGA 08 teaser

The first two God of War games were epic to be understated, I expect GoWIII to be a "OMFG" game, thie VGA's gave us our first glimpse of Kratos in in GoWIII...it was great to see the angriest spartan in history but the teaser didn't leave me psyched at all..it was definately not the "OMFG" experience it should've been.
Anyway check out Kratos doing what he does best get angry and kick the shit out of stuff!

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Teaser Trailer

Aside from the Neil Patrick Harris screw up, one of the few highlights from Spike's 2008 VGA's was the teaser trailer for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, unlike the lack luster teaser for God of War III, Drake's upcoming adventure looks as impressive as the first game and the teaser did a teriffic job of grabbing my attention and not letting go...kinda like poor Nathan Drake at the end of the teaser!
This looks like another quality title for the PS3 in 2009.
