Nothing is better than grabbing a bunch of friends and playing some video games all night long. All of you guys are having the time of your lives… until your so-called friends start to look more like enemies. What started out as laughing and joking has now turned into screaming and threats. Your face turns as red as the Red Shell that just hit you and your friend’s face turns as blue as the Blue Shell he just threw as you strangle him for jeopardizing your victory. Soon the games become battles and a war has just begun.
I was having trouble of thinking of a Top 5 to do, when it hit me — literally; my friend hit me as I utterly destroyed him in a round of Blazblue.

“Street Fighter X Tekken” Shows Off Pacman, Trolls Megaman Fans
Fighting game fans are very excited about the release of the new mash-up of Street Fighter X Tekken. The rosters are being finalized but prospective owners of either PlayStation version (PS Vita or PS3) are being treated to extra characters such as Cole from Infamous and Kuro and Toro of PlayStation mascot fame.
But there were two “secret” characters shrouded in mystery in the last trailer. This new trailer, fresh from Capcom, pulls the curtain off the mystery figures to reveal Pacman and Megaman. In case you’re wondering, Pacman is riding Tekken’s famous character Mokujin and Megaman’s design is ripped straight from the original box art of Megaman on the NES.

What’s in store for 2012? We take a look at some of the new titles to hit this year in Fighting Forecast - Round 1.
