Street Fighter IV Quick and Dirty #12

Teh Good:
Characters, backgrounds and cut scenes look amazing
Tons of replay value with all different game modes
Online play, no lag issues. So far so great

Teh bad:
Can’t skip cut scenes
You can’t play with a controller. Buy a fight pad or a Fight stick
Matchmaking I never seem to get paired up to someone with similar abilities as me, thus facing superior opponents on a constant basis is frustrating.

I had to put Street Fighter aside for now, I just can`t play with a controller and I am on the hunt for a fight stick. If you can play with a controller I`d recommend picking this up.

Halo Mythic Map Pack and Halo Wars Event

On Thursday February 19th  2009 in the west end of Toronto Xbox community members and Media gathered at the Gladstone Hotel to check out the Halo 3 Mythic Map pack and Ensemble Studios final game Halo Wars. Check out the venue below.

Venue
Jeff Rivait was on hand from Microsoft to give everyone a demo of Halo Wars. Unfortunately being very new to the RTS (Real Time Strategy games) I decided it was better off not to embarrass myself in front of everyone so I decided just to watch everyone play.

The new Halo 3 map packed call Mythic Maps will be available with the purchase of Halo Wars CE or you will need to wait until spring to get a hold of them. They will also ship with Halo: ODST this fall. The map pack contains 3 maps called Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox. Check out the pictures below of each of the maps. I really enjoyed orbital and driving around on the mongoose honking the horn!. The best moment of the event was playing oddball on Sandbox and killing DarthAlbert III with 1 second left until victory. I held the skull for 76 seconds to make it respectable but ended up losing. As far as for Assembly I just confused on where to go on this map but had some great matches.
