Here lately, i’ve been on a gaming kick. Mostly because work has been killing me and I have a large amount of stress I have to get rid of. A good game is decent for stress relief and i’ve definitely been enjoying it. I’ll never be as hardcore of a gamer as I once was, but it’s fun to play again. Xbox Live has really brought the fun back into it as well. I can play with my friends from around the country and not have to worry about setting up TeamSpeak, Ventrillo, etc and all of the drivers and patches you need to play PC games.
Thanks to Geoff over at 3rdmoon, i’m now playing Super Street Fighter 4. All I can say is “Good job Capcom!” What a fun game. I’ve really been enjoying it. It’s got that old school SF2 feeling but all of the new combos and such that make it so much fun. It’s comical and cartoony, but the style works. The challenges are solid and the gameplay is intense. Definitely a winner!
Seeing as the fighting genre is one of my favorites, I decided to go ahead and splurge on a nice arcade quality fighting stick. Conveniently enough, MadCatz makes one… check it out whenever you get a chance! I just snagged one and if you’re in the market, you might consider getting one. Footnote from Geoff though, there are two versions of this stick. The cheap one uses much lower quality buttons/joysticks and they’re breaking left and right. The more expensive “tournament” ones use high quality Sanwa arcade parts. Definitely the way to go!
Here are some pictures…
