Fighting game fans are just recovering from the shock of Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
Now they will go into a full on stroke with the announcement of …
Street Fighter vs. Tekken!
No release dates were announced but the instant classic will be out on PS3 and XBOX 360.
If you are worried about your haduken controls messing up your 10 hit combo, there is no need. The companies are each developing their own version with familiar control styles.
While the updates were slow the past few days it was for a greater good, today I get to announce that from now through July 26th at 12:00pm PST we will be taking entries to win a copy of LIMBO for the Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Arcade).
Hopefully it’s good turnout, although who knows, it could be completely embarassing with just russian bots trying to win. (thank you spam filters)
Also the contest is running beyond the release date of the 21st as we’ll be at Comic-Con 2010. Good luck to everyone I look forward to the results. The winner will be announced here and sent their code via email.
Update:
Congratulations to reflex! I just sent your XBLA code for LIMBO via the provided email. Thank you everyone for participating, for a full breakdown on how the winner was chosen check here.

So as we reported before the Netflix 360 update goes live today. You can finally add to your instant view queue from your 360! Although it should be noted you cannot search specific titles but you can browse.

“This exclusive partnership offers you the ability to instantly stream movies and TV episodes from Netflix to the television via Xbox 360. Xbox 360 will be the only game console to offer this movie-watching experience, available to Xbox LIVE Gold members who are also Netflix unlimited plan subscribers, at no additional cost.”

A sequel to the most amazing left 4 dead is not only official, it has a release date!
Mark your calendars for November 17th as the day the infestation hits! PC and 360 owners can look forward to new characters and an updated arsenal including chainsaws, baseball bats, axes and your trusty skillet. No word yet if the George Foreman grill will make an appearance.
Twitter and facebook are coming in the fall to a console near you! As long as that console is an XBOX 360 that is.
Twitter works how you expect it should. You follow updates from your friends while posting your current goings on, all from the comfort of your couch.
Facebook was announced by none other than my wife that doesn’t know she loves me, Felicia Day(the guild, Dr. Horrible). It works along the same way facebook users have become accustomed to. The added bonus is that it uses the xbox’s own menus! As if that wasn’t enough it also includes a feature called FaceBook connect that enables user to share screen grabs from in game and share them with your fellow gamers!
Let the parade of halo tea bagging profile pics begin!
