Many of us were part of that teenage generation that horrified adults, pumping our allowances into arcade cabinets as we mastered the moves for games like Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Darkstalkers.

Bit Cultures writer Conner plays through his Steam library in alphabetical order, writes a brief summary of his experience on each game, and then gives them his own personal rating.

Funimation have announced the English voice cast for the BlazBlue: Alter Memory anime, which they have licensed for release in the U.S.
DJ Killzown Jones of RGN writes, "BlazBlue Calamity Trigger is still a solid fighter that PC fighting game fans should pick up . It is a bit of a disappointment that long load times of the games original release are still present and the games sequels aren’t offered as expansions/add on’s but these things alone should shy away games that haven’t played the game or others who are returning to the series."
