Gottlieb 'virtually' returns to pinball through Nanotech Entertainment

[via GamesTM] It’s always a pleasant surprise to find an arcade review in GamesTM, and this month I was…… pleasantly surprised by this Tekken 6 review.

Fighter mania continues with BlazBlue
The notion that no one wants to play fighters in the arcade anymore is silly. Apparently Capcom and Namco thinks so when it comes to the US but I have noticed a very interesting trend in my two weeks of running the arcade – there are a lot of fighting fans out there who »
Guitar Freaks v5 & DrumMania v5 hit arcades in Japan
[Kotaku via IT] Good to see that Konami’s instrument games are still going strong. It’s just a shame we don’t get to see these games that much in the UK. I’d like to think I’d be half decent at them, seeings as I have been playing a lot of Rock Band the last few »

"Caribounga!" – Play Mechanix hosting online tournament with BBHPro
[Via Betson] Fortunately it seems that not everyone on the development side of the industry thinks that it’s all down the tubes. Take Play Mechanix for example – not only have they created a very popular game, they hold constant competitions for it and they market the game far more aggressively than any other »
Park Avenue Open Day – Familiar games as well as brand new ones
