April 1, 2008, No Comments on Street Fighter IV continues it's record breaking trend

I’m not sure how many location tests Street Fighter IV has had up to this point but either way it’s had numerous public appearances and each time the game gets a lot of positive attention and of course, sets or breaks previous records as far as a location test goes. The official Street Fighter »

April 1, 2008, No Comments on New images and site for Taito's D1GP racer

I had been hoping to see a game or two from Taito at ASI (especially Chase HQ2 which I’d really like to try out) but no luck on that front so we’ll just have to wait until they hit arcades. Unless you live in Japan of course, where they make sure to publicize location »

Konami's Jubeat could be a record breaker

March 24, 2008, No Comments on Konami's Jubeat could be a record breaker

Konami is really pushing forward in the coin-op game sector these days and if the trend continues they could upset Namco from the #2 spot. This will certainly be helped by the unique game Jubeat (pronounced “You-beat” BTW) which has just gone through initial testing in Japan. From that test, all indicators point to »

I had the opportunity to play GlobalVR’s Blazing Angel’s arcade today so what better time to review than when the game is fresh in my mind? There are a few pictures in the review that I took with my camera phone so if you see a low quality shot, that’s where it came from. »
