Street Fighter X Tekken gameplay montage [Update]

From Capcom's private show Captivate we get some delicious of Street Fighter x Tekken, the first of two Capcom and Namco's crossover fighting games. Awesome footage of some tag team action at work with some characters from Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 roster.

The art style looks similar to Street Fighter IV's look but with thicker outlines and with less exaggerated faces. Ryu's jaw won't be ridiculously wide and Chun-Li is cute again.

Update: There are also rumors about that Street Fighter x Tekken will alos be released on the 3DS. The game doesn't even have a release date yet and already there are talks about a 3DS port. How awesome is that?

George "Geohot" Hotz and Sony settle out of court

Remember the battle between George Hotz and Sony over the whole hacking of his PlayStation 3? Well it has finally come to a conclusion.

From Destructoid

The notorious battle between Sony and PS3 hacker George "Geohot" Hotz has ended today, with the two parties settling out of court.

Hotz has agreed to a permanent injunction imposed by Sony's legal team, which is being taken to mean that he's not going to post source codes, hacking tips, or anything else that will help circumvent the PS3's security. Any further agreements remain confidential knowledge of the parties involved.

"Sony is glad to put this litigation behind us," said SCEA general counsel Riley Russell. "Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal."

Hotz also made a statement, seeming similarly glad to be done with the battle: "It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier. I’m happy to have the litigation behind me."

Whether this will satisfy Anonymous, and whether SCEE will continue its fight with Graf_Chokolo, remains to be seen.

Revisiting Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (Wii)

I popped back in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows in my Nintendo Wii. The latest open world Spider-Man game by Activision up until they broke the chain with Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. I have beaten this game before and the reason I am revisiting it is to get the bad ending for the game. The last time I played it, I went completely good with the game's simplistic morality system. Another reason why I was compelled to revisit the game is because when I was at my cousins' place the other weekend, we played a bunch of Wii games and one of them was Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Seeing Spider-Man swinging around New York city and remembering how much I actually enjoyed playing the game made me want to relive the experience and the goal to get the bad ending gave me a solid reason to do so.

The game is far from perfect but honestly its no where near as bad as people say it was. Sure the morality system is bland and the frame rate tends to drop at times but the combat is suprisingly enjoyable which is more than I can say for previous open world Spider-Man game, even Spider-Man 2, and swinging through the city is simple yet satisfying. Where else can you power slide down the side of a skyscraper?
