These two games are sure to be amazing, and we get a taste of both of them in the next couple of weeks.
April 30th – Super Street Fighter IV is released.
May 3rd – The Halo: Reach Public Multiplayer Beta begins.
Although Super Street Fighter IV is pretty much just an expansion of the vanilla Street Fighter IV, the stuff it does add is looking really good. My favourite character ever, for one thing (Adon). I love what they’ve done with his theme. It was fuck-yeah-awesome already, now it’s just out of this world.
Old version:
Fuck-yeah-awesome new version:
As well as Adon, there’s new online modes, you can save replays at will (in vanilla SFIV you could only save your own replays if you were in the top 5,000 players, something I would never be capable of), and the old-school car-bashing, barrel-smashing bonus rounds are back too.
And new Halo, well, what can I say? The Reach Multiplayer Beta hits soon, and I’m really looking forward to it. If they can bring back some of that Halo 2 magic, I’ll be a happy chappy. I love how your Spartan is totally customisable, and will be unified across all game modes, I’ve been wanting that for years. And Jet-packs! I’ve been on about them since I saw an Elite fly past in Halo: Combat Evolved and I wanted to try one out for myself.
