Digging deep into a variety of games, you’re bound to learn a couple of ways where playing as player two instead of player one actually changes the game in some way. This was common in shmups where the player two ship might have different movement, or playing on that side decreased the difficulty a little. […]
I often think there are a ton of fighting games that get overlooked, but there has long been one that might come as a surprise to some: Ultimate Fighting Championship on the SEGA Dreamcast. The UFC as a concept has really evolved over the years, and so has its video games. While the mixed martial […]
You’ve seen me stream Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls for Super Nintendo if you’ve followed along over the years.

As part of the Video Game Awards, Capcom released a batch of new information and images based on Street Fighter 6. The game has been officially announced to release June 2, 2023, for PlayStation 4 and 5, the Xbox Series X/S and PC.
