Until now, however, the only multiplatform title in the series has been Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. That ent...[Read More]

Akuma Being Added to Street Fighter V
Suddenly, all seems right with the world. During the Capcom Pro Tour North America finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds in Seattle, Washington this past weekend, a teaser video for Street Fighter V was run. The video, clocking in at a mere 24 seconds, fills my heart with joy. In it, a bleak scene of a dilapidated dojo during a storm almost immediately fades to black. Soon, a familiar gruff voice is h...[Read More]
