Review: Street Fighter Alpha 3-It All Depends On Your Port
I’m running out of intros for these Street Fighter reviews, man. I know I’ve been gone for over 6 months but I don’t know what do you want from me? I didn’t grow up with Street Fighter Alpha 3. The only reason I have any prior experience with this game is because of M.U.G.E.N, a…

Review: Street Fighter III New Generation/Second Impact- Rolling With The Punches
To say that Street Fighter II changed video games would be a massive understatement. It gave way to a sea of imitators and practically birthed an entire genre overnight.

Review: Granblue Fantasy Versus-Imagine Fighting The Slot Machine
Gacha games are evil and you shouldn’t play them. Now that we got that out of the way I just want to say that I’ve grown a huge amount of appreciation for Granblue Fantasy. I originally started playing it last year but have become somewhat obsessed with it over the past month. It’s simple, but…

Review: Street Fighter-Everyone Has To Start Somewhere
Capcom’s Street Fighter franchise is a series that I hold near and dear to my heart. Ever since I was a toddler the series has stuck with me and has remained a constant source of entertainment throughout my life. Even though I never fully grasped how to play the games until Street Fighter IV (Yes,…
