In an interview with Chief Producer at Bandai Namco Daisuke Uchiyama , about a forthcoming DragonBall Z game, he speaks of his wish to have had the Tekken of Soul Calibur teams work on the title before the merger.

However, it was not possible since Tekken 6 is already in production (as shown in PS3 “visual target” demos), and apparently Soul Calibur 4 is moving ahead as well.

No date, no system, no nothing announced.  But its likely this will be a big Next-Gen jump for what has historically been one of the best looking fighters on the market.

Multiple sources are reporting that the first teaser trailer will be available online July 4th, 2006 on the movie’s website. Three days later a trailer will get a theatrical release with Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest.

Guest reviewer Ryu gives us a unique perspective on the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection and Street Fighter Alpha Anthology games for the PlayStation 2. Also includes a look at the Official Street Fighter Anniversary Edition Controller.

Before Grand Theft Auto became their major cash cow, Rockstar gave players another action franchise early on in the current console generation. At the time it first came out, Max Payne stood out from other games of it’s type with 2 major innovations; Matrix-like bullet time and a film noir plotline. The former slowed everything to a crawl in order to give players a bit of strategy in planning out their next move while the latter used graphic novel-styled cinema sequences to move the story along.

2 years and dozens of copycats later, Rockstar released a sequel. It didn’t push the boundaries as the first game did, but it gave gamers more of what they loved about the original Max Payne. The bullet time was improved slightly, and the plot was just as riveting as the first. It’s only bad point is it’s short length. The game can be completed in a weekend. Luckily for PC gamers, tons of downloadable content extend this game’s replay value a lot. Hopefully Rockstar will give us a sequel that will be a bit bigger. Until then, action game fans looking for a good plotline can’t go wrong here.
