The sun will also rise in the east tomorrow, gas prices will keep rising, and your heart will continue pumping blood to the rest of your body for the foreseeable future.
The latest iteration of the long-running and many-sequeled franchise is Mega Man Star Force 2, the follow-up to last year's DS battling RPG. Star Force was of course the successor to the surprisingly popular Battle Network games for GBA, retaining much of the same gameplay with a few differences both cosmetic and substantial. While the series retained its predecessor's dual-world design -- players controlled a flesh-and-blood kid who occasionally jacked-in to the Internet to guide his sentient avatar Mega Man through a variety of conflicts -- it also boasted a new, 3D perspective on combat. More significantly, it also added some innovations in connectivity. Like many collect-em-all type games, Star Force came in multiple versions... but by interacting with friends who owned other editions of the game, players could experience the entire adventure regardless of the version they used".
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include BlazBlue, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva, Diabolik, Treasure World, Street Fighter IV PC, and Roogoo.
Have you ever imagined what it would be like if your favorite video game characters grew up and went to school together? PWN or DIE has, and the way they picture it is much like their own experiences growing up. There would be pep rallies and proms, jocks and nerds, and of course yearbooks.
For a third-party multiplatform publisher and developer, Capcom has enough popular franchises to create their very own video game system.
For me,as much as I enjoyed classics like RE series,Dino Crisis series,Dmc series,etc etc,I think Okami is the best game Capcom has ever produced,unfortunately it bombed,the team is gone and there won't be any sequel
*sigh*
its not their fault. Capcom completely ditched them. They are now known as platinum games (making mad world, bayonetta etc..). Sega owns them now. And I agree that Okami is probably in my top 3 capcom games. Next to RE2 and RE4 of of course.
and the best capcom characters are Leon Kennedy and Albert Wesker. Dont dispute the facts.
Megaman is the only franchise I like from Capcom. Hopefully, they make a new one soon.
i can understand how resident evil, street fighter, and megaman may be in their top franchises but i don't understand how devil may cry and phoenix wright could be included and not monster hunter. obviously an article written based on opinion and not facts.
