Soul Calibur IV Custom Character Chaos Part I

by the hammer of Tim Horn!

Soul Calibur IV’s character creation seems like a load of fun. This video from GameTrailers features Link, Shredder, Harley Quinn and a few others beating the frackin’ hell out of each other. Fighters aren’t my cup of tea, but seeing Harley listed as one of the characters in this video is the only reason I watched this. She comes equipped with her trademark outfit (well, as close as they could get to it) and has been armed with a massive, red, squeaking hammer. Hot stuff. Hope you like it!

By the way, what characters have you created? I’d love to see or hear about them.



Prepare for space war! — Galaga Legions announced

by the hammer of Jim Squires!

For the most part, those of us the chatted away during the Microsoft press conference agreed it was a total bust. Sure the new Gears of War trailer was eerily fantastic and Primetime Live seems to have some potential, but all in all there wasn’t a whole lot coming out of the Microsoft presser that wowed us.

…and then there was Galaga Legions.

Developed by the same team behind last years redefining Pac-Man Championship Edition, Legions appears to be taking the same path to reimagined greatness. It seems to have the same vibe as Space Invaders Extreme, which if you’ve read our Halfies you’d know isn’t half bad. Expect Galaga Legions to hit Xbox Live Arcade next month.



Namco plush set

Feel like taking your home to the next level of nerdiness? Yes? Well have I got the plush set for you!

Poking around the Club Namco site I stumbled upon this set here which gives you a pretty good jumping off point for a video game related stuffed animal collection. It’s not cheap but you get quite a few characters.

  • PAC-MAN
  • Blinky, the Red Ghost
  • Pinky, the Pink Ghost
  • Inky, the Blue Ghost
  • Pokey, the Orange Ghost
  • Pooka from Dig Dug

Sadly no Dig-Dug himself though…
