Tekken 6 BR at AM Show...


The 2008 Amusement Show is going on right now at Japan as the big hitters so far are King of Fighters XII and Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion. This post focuses on T6 BR as the game is playable with new content ranging from characters, stages, and customizations. Hopefully, the balance changes will be right for this version, but here's the trailer and some pics featuring the two new characters Alisa and Lars (for more details check out SDTekken or Tekken Zaibatsu).







My only reason to buy a PS3 this year....



WipEout HD is out next Thursday on PSN and arguably the game I'm most excited for on PS3 other than Tekken 6 at this point. Honestly, I never played a WipEout for a long amount of time, but this game is just amazing on every end. With great graphics, awesome electronica music (with custom soundtrack support), and in your face gameplay, WipEout HD could be racing game of the year being a downloadable title among stiff competition (Burnout Paradise, GRID, MotorStorm: PR). If I want to buy a PS3 this fall, this and likely LittleBigPlanet will be my first purchases.

Meanwhile, I beaten Band World Tour on Rock Band 2 today (not 100% finished) and I went nuts after beating "Painkiller" for the second time on Guitar Expert (took me two tries). That song just grew on me as being awesome and fun to play while being hard at the same time. Review of this still maybe on the weekend (have to mess around online play and the challenges for a bit).
