This year has truly been the year of the Role Playing Games so far hasn’t it? We started off with Final Fantasy 13-2, went into space with Mass Effect 3, and two weeks ago we climbed up a titan in Xenoblade Chronicles. This week’s RPG will take us to a darker high-fantasy world with far more mature themes coursing through it. Interested? Read on.

Now this is more like it. One week after the release of a massive game like Xenoblade Chronicles, we should get a short reprieve of game releases. I guess that’s one way of describing this week’s rather paltry releases. On the bright side, I get to tell you about an overlooked game out of last year.
Street Fighter X Tekken Review
If any game company knows how to do stellar fighting game crossovers, it’s Capcom. One needs only to look at crossovers like Marvel vs. Capcom, and the lesser known Tatsunoko vs. Capcom to name a few. With Street Fighter X Tekken ( “X” is pronounced “cross”), Capcom (with Namco’s licensing) has induced a collective fan-gasm for fighting game enthusiasts.

I know you’re not here looking for something new to play. I know that because unless you don’t have a job or something, you’re still playing Mass Effect 3. Why would you possibly want something else to play while you’ve got that going on? Unless of course you’re one of those extremely rare individuals unaffected by the hype, review scores, and outpouring of love for ME3. Who am I to turn you away?
Coming Soon! 3/5/2012
Mass Effect 3 comes out tomorrow. You can stop reading the rest of this article now. Wait, you’re still here? What’s that? You’re not interested in stopping the Reaper invasion of the galaxy as we know it? Wow, I didn’t realize you exist. In that case by all means read on. Because, ya know, there are other games out there.
SoulCalibur 5 Review
Two random fellows on the street get into a fight right before your eyes. Much to your delight, the two fighters seemed rather adept at fighting as each fighter gracefully unleashes flurries of attacks upon each other. Inevitably, one fighter goes down after an intense battle of give and take with a good bit of mind games thrown in. Now comes the hard part. Do you care as to why these two seemingly random people started fighting each other? Or do you only care that the two put on a very entertaining show of strength and guile? In the case of most fighting games, we don’t care as to why the characters in the roster list decided to pick a fight with the other characters on the roster list, but the SoulCalibur series has a rather special distinction of being a fighting game that had a story underneath it that doesn’t involve a freakin’ combat tournament.
