The X Button - Running Free

Hey, if CAPCOM could envision Indians as fire-breathing, rubber-armed monks,

It also reminds me of the characters I wanted to see in future Street Fighter games. A friend and I once devised an Australian martial artist whom we thought an excellent addition to the lineup. Her name would be Sheila, and she'd have moves like the Kangaroo Kick, the Koala Bear Hug, a boomerang-tossing attack, and maybe a throw where she'd pick her opponent's pocket. And her background would have aborigines and Mad Max bikers wrestling crocodiles in front of Ayer's Rock and the Sydney Opera House.

A trailer for the Street Fighter IV anime prequel showed up last week, featuring a rather willowy Chun-Li explaining just how her father's demise motivated her to enter a worldwide martial-arts tournament.

though the smart money says that Miyazaki himself will have nothing to do with a brain-rotting video game.

A recent bit of PR about Twentieth Century Fox's new senior vice president of “new media” refers to “Dragon Ball” (one word now, it seems) among the properties the company views as prime console-game material, along with Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian.

Indeed, many anime fans likely remember Steve Purcell's original Sam and Max comics,

and perhaps even the short-lived cartoon.

Telltale's new Sam and Max titles have already made the rounds through GameTap, but the Wii version presents an excellent opportunity to grab the first six-episode “season” in a convenient package.

Get Excited If: You ever complain about how LucasArts and other companies stopped making graphic adventure games.

EXTRA LIVES: URUSEI YATSURA: LUM'S WEDDING BELL

There's more to Urusei Yatsura games than Lum's Wedding Bell, as the series also inspired a PC Engine title and a stunningly animated graphic adventure for the Mega CD (Japan's Sega CD).

So, is there a UFO ending in Homecoming?
I think the series is dead or at least not at all the same anymore. Team Silent stopped caring and now these new guys are trying way to hard to do something they don't completely understand.

...Hardly, the series actually started getting SCARY in The Room. Seriously, THAT is BY FAR the scariest game in the series.

A North American release may seem unlikely, but if a publisher over here will take a chance on the even more obscure mash-up of Chaos Wars, there's a sliver of hope for X-Edge.

I'm a huge fan of Silent Hill.It was weird after part 3,when Akira Yamaoka (Music and now directing) started taking charge.I'll agree.But I think Silent hill is starting to get a little more,interesting.I still love both styles,though.I'm just waiting for the fog to come rolling in.Heh.heh.

Homecoming has a lot going on,and it looks like they took a few elements from the movie.(good and bad)When the air raid sirens go off,the world will change in plain sight.Now,this happened in the past games too,but 5 pulls it off quite well.The new monsters look really good.I'm loving it.No,what I'm really loving is the delicious nurse animations, borrowed straight from the movie.I can't wait to cave their heads in.

[Off Topic] The only time I had felt fear was in (little history for ya) spoiler[ Jason's mom's face in Friday the 13th.Certain alien profiles in Buck Rogers.Decerto mansion,smiling back at me,in Alone in the dark.Resident evil(when it was new).The hidden yellow eyes in Jetmoto 2.Scissorman waiting behind my door.The boss at the end of the sewer level in Shadows of the Empire.Andross's face in Starfox 64.The screaming tree face,in the third window of the woodpuppet stage,in Illbleed.The hollowed out kids's face in Illbleed.Figures suddenly appearing in front of me in Alone in the dark 4.The ghost with the long arms in Fatal Frame.The ghost with the dripping stare,hanging from the ceiling in Fatal Frame.Calamity in Fatal Frame.Guy buried in wall,in Silent hill 3.Making you avoid the rocking chair and walk straight into the trap in Silent Hill 3 and Silent Hill :the Room where you can scream and yell,but no one can hear you,But they sure as hell like to point.Of course for comforting reasons,between the dying cat in your fridge,the zombie stare through the peep hole,the random letters thrown on the floor,the faces in your wall,the phone call that makes you walk back to your room,experiencing the random child's shadow in your closet.answering the call to hear radio silence and bits of monster chatter.The scream,clatter and the head that just floated by your window.But the Rabbit in Eileen's room,knows you're there.If you keep checking back, he will gladly let you know,by sitting up and pointing at you.What about the last guy,who happens to be crusified and staring at you from the other side of your bedroom wall (as you've slept).] I'll stop with Eileen's giant twitching face,in the hospital with the random hallways.She gets me every time.Anyway.

Hey,listen,**** the movie,right.Silent hill isn't about explanations,non-fog,exploiting the pyramidhead or simple witchcraft.....

It was all about the secret mother****ing UFO endings!Each more terrifying to achieve,than the last. They have best be in there,bleuster.I need another faux ass ending,to get me riled up."Hell,no.Harry's not dead,now let's dance"

The games aren't the same anymore because the main "knightmare provider",went on to make the last,and somewhat decent,Bond game.Leaving Silent Hill music producer,Akira Yamaoka to fend for the team.I'd say he is doing a pretty good job,pulling it through this far.(Love his music) We can't use tank control forever,and yeah,the battle system in 5 looks a bit messy,but it should work out.

Chaos Wars was a good rpg and i enjoyed it thats why i can't wait for X Edge because its almost like the same thing except X Edge has more characters that are more easily recognizable that people still love even in america. can't really say if it will be licensed to america and i can only hope so but if Chaos Wars can be licensed to america then i think X Edge has a better chance of being licensed then Chaos Wars even though i still say i did in fact enjoy Chaos Wars
