A tale of two swords retold throughout the ages... and on the side of a mountain, in what has to be one of the strangest, yet most innovative ways to market a game.

Soul Calibur 5 is aiming to have the most comprehensive character creation option ever made, as producer Hiosaharu Tago explains in this video.

As a gamer raised on a diet of 8 and 16 bit games, their general aesthetic invokes an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Things like this though – combining my love of modern games with the heady wistfulness of bygone eras – make me giddy. After the jump you’ll find a collection of videogame demakes created by Swedish artist Junkboy. – …

Heyyyyyy. Looks like those Street Fighter vs Tekken rumours may actually be partially correct! They were given further credence when the respective producers of each series – Namco Bandai’s Katsuhiro Harada and Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono – teamed up to give a speech, and tease the crowd at EVO, the premier fighting game championships.

Street Fighter IV gas been released in Japan and has been met with an incredible amount of love from the local gamers. The title went on to sell 86 000 units across both platforms on its first day.

So it’s that time again.. time for the PS3 fans to cringe and warm up their excuse making machine. It’s the 14th Eurogamer console face off and with the current score being 13-0 to the Xbox 360 you have to wonder if the PS3 is ever going to come to the party? We were all promised that the PS3 would …
