Ugh.  Game of Thrones.  Not the show, mind you, and certainly not A Song of Fire and Ice.  Those are high-quality works that, by all means, shouldn’t be missed, especially for the significant twists and turns.  But the game, recently released by Atlus and Cyanide Studios, leaves a lot to be desired.  It’s fallen completely flat on its face, leaving a diabolically thrilling storyline dangling in the wind because of faulty gameplay and a presentation that can’t compare to The Witcher 2 or even Kingdoms of Amalur.  With that, we’re left wondering…why didn’t someone else grab this franchise?

Capcom connected with gamers back on the original Xbox with Steel Battalion, a game best known for its massive controller filled with buttons and levers to control the in-game Mechs. Thanks to Kinect, the newest game in the franchise (which is not a direct sequel to the Xbox game), eliminates any new controllers while making the experience more immersive. Capcom’s Antoine Molant details the new game at Captivate 2012 in this exclusive video interview below.

As the sun finally started to subside, an amber glow receded behind the looming mountains in the distance. The sunset was short lived, for a chilling darkness approached. Putrid, red goblin corpses were strewn about in bloody disarray across the hillside. Evidence of a recent battle that paled in comparison to the magnitude of what was to come.

What is it about Sour Patch Kids that has us so addicted?  Is it the sweet taste that’s underlying the start-off sour flavor?  Or is it the fact that they’re so small that you can devour many of them at a time?  Either way, we were pleased with what Capcom shuffled to our office this week, a game code for the Sour Patch-licensed World Gone Sour game, along with a package of Sour Patch Kids to munch on while we play.  We thought the true validation of this package would be the candy – but believe it or not, the game’s not half bad.

The organizers of Classic Gaming Expo announced today that the 2012 Classic Gaming Expo will be held August 11 and 12 at the recently renovated Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The show’s historic ties with Las Vegas, and specifically the Plaza Hotel, made it the obvious choice to play host to this year’s convention.

There isn't really a devil hunter out there like Dante.  Sure, Vergil can try and step in all he wants (as he did in Devil May Cry 4), but nothing beats the original butt-kicking hero, between his impressive firepower and his prowess for carving up baddies with an enormous sword.  Before we get treated to Ninja Theory’s take on the legacy with DMC later this year, it’s time to step back in the past with the first three games from the series, which have been given the high definition treatment at the hands of Capcom.

The long awaited dream match-up between the two leaders in the fighting genre can now be played at home… and on the go. Street Fighter X Tekken on the PlayStation Vita builds upon the action-packed console experience and delivers an expanded version of the ultimate tag team match up. In addition to all 43 of the iconic characters featured on the PlayStation 3 version, 12 new characters will make their debut on the PS Vita, making for one of the most robust character line-ups in fighting game history. Check out the trailer below straight from Captivate 2012.
