Burnout Crash looks aweso- wait... wtf?
I got a little bit excited when I heard that Criterion was working on another Burnout game and so were many others. When they announced that it would be a PSN and XBLA title, a lot of people were displeased. I remained optimistic because it's Criterion and they make car crashes look awesome. This however...
Is THIS what you call a Burnout game? Sure it has car crashes, explosions, and traffic pile ups of vehicles but damn. The excuse of "well it's PSN/XBLA" won't cut it here cause I have seen PSN and XBLA games that look way better than this.
But graphics and art style don't make the whole game." is what I would say but this doesn't even look fun. Why Criterion? Why?... I'm sad now.

Street Fighter x Tekken Character Teaser 5
Capcom releases yet another character teaser for the cross-over fighting game Street Fighter x Tekken. Can you guess who it is?
I'm going to level with all of you and admit that I have no idea who this is. Some are saying it's Dhalsim while others are saying its Eddie Gordo. From all that blue at the end I'd say it was T-Hawk but T-Hawk has boots. So yeah, I have no clue who this one is. Maybe you guys can tell us who you think it is. Any guesses?

F.E.A.R 3 brings the art of videogame manuals BACK
Saving paper? Bullturd. I want thick colorfull manuals back!
I think it was Ubisoft that started all this non-sense. Stating that they would significantly reduce the already diminishing pages of their video game manuals. Their excuse it that "it's a means to save paper" which I think is a load of shit excrement. Sure saving paper is great but I see this as just their means of cheaping out so that the bigwigs can get that sparkling new *insert expensive item here* earlier. My FEAR (see what I did there?) is that other companies will / are already slowly going down the same route. Pretty soon even hard copies of games will no longer exist. :(

A Final Fantasy rhythm game?
This week's Jump magazine showed off a very unique looking Final Fantasy game. Now I know many of you will argue that half of most of the Final Fantasy experience is the music. But the music has always been in the background, indirectly fueling the heat of battle or soothing your soul when you wander around town.
Square Enix is looking to bring the music to the forefront this time in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. The game is said to contain the traditional dungeon-crawling, town-wandering, monster battling but with a musical twist.
From the picture, the game looks to incorporate the characters' 'Dissidia' look. If you take a gander at the title, you'll even see Cosmos and Chaos.
The game is hitting Nintendo 3DS at an as-yet unspecified time. This sounds like the sort of game that is weird enough to just stay in Japan and be forgotten by the West, but last month Siliconera spotted that Square Enix had filed a trademark for the name "Theatrhythm" in Europe and North America, suggesting the game will see a worldwide release.
