Skull Girls Available For PSN And XBLA

This 2D fighting game has been getting great reviews, IGN rating it an overall 8.5. The plot being surrounded by nine girls who are all trying to obtain the Skull Heart. The arena ranges from one-on-ones to three-on-threes. Brings back memories of Tekken Tag, anyone else remember that game? Skull Girls has an online/offline option, training mode and the traditional arcade mode. Even though it is low on content you can of course purchase a few extra characters through DLC. The animation and music are a great part of what makes this a must have. The art style is gorgeous, one of the reasons I was originally drawn to the game. Released April 1oth on PSN in North America and April 11th for XBLA worldwide for a reasonable price of $14.99.

Looks as if regional tournaments dates for SK have been posted earlier this month. Great way to support your local fighting game community. Further information is in the link below.

New Marvel tables for Pinball FX 2

Marvel has just released a new trailer for Pinball FX 2 featuring tables with themes for the upcoming Avengers film, The Infinity Gauntlet, Fear Itself, and World War Hulk story lines.

Just like previous releases, the new tables continue to showcase characters reeking havoc and battling it out in response to your gameplay. With prior tables focusing on single characters or teams I’m excited to see the broader direction story lines will take. Hulk smashing The Thing, Nick Fury and Thor, not to mention Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer just may be enough to finally make me pick Pinball FX 2 back up again. Now if they would just release a Guardians of the Galaxy table I could never go outside again.

Rocket Racoon forever!
