Street Fighter II: Ken’s Touch of Death Combo

I found this really nick trick for Ken Masters on Street Fighter II for the arcade, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and Sega Genesis. It’s called the Touch of Death Combo, and I’ve been trying it out (trying being the operative term). The move actually entails two combos: the first disables an opponent, the second knocks […]

Egad, I’ve been tagged!

And, yes, I owe Aiza over at Gamerlite, one of b5media Video Games Channel’s newest blogs, an apology for not “promoting camaraderie” by answering her tag at the soonest possible time.

Ultimate Sonic?

This is an oldie, but still a goodie. Besides, I’ve hardly posted anything about Sonic so far :o)
Menace.ch (website coming soon) has blessed these Internets with a Flash rendition of Sonic advance 2.

GBA - Best retro platform? Ever?

Of course the question is rhetorical, but consider the statement; The Game Boy Advance (in its three major incarnations) is the best retro gaming platform ever.
