When the PlayStation launched in the U.S. in the mid-'90s, it did so with three fighting games. Despite having the arcade notoriety of Mortal Kombat 3 and the heavy marketing that Sony did for Battle Arena Toshinden, it was Tekken, a recent arcade release, which captured the hearts and minds of fighting gamers on Sony's new console. The basic pick-up-and play nature of the game, combined with an extensive character roster and depth in combat, led to big sales, a devoted fan base, and a new identity for Namco as a premier developer of 3D fighting games.
In response the recent UK survey, which shows 1 in 5 Brits would have sex with a Robot - Rice Digital takes a look at the videogame robots they'd most like to sleep with.
Following its official release in other territories this autumn, The Ling Xiaoyu Bishoujo Statue is now officially available throughout Europe. The latest addition to the popular line of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Bishoujo Statues, Ling Xiaoyu is based on a new illustration by master Japanese illustrator Shunya Yamashita.
Following capoeira master Christie Monteiro is the second Tekken Bishoujo Statue, a new vision of Alisa Bosconovitch is now available at UK retail stores. An android with detachable limbs, this elite and beautiful fighter came onto the scene first in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion and appears here based on an illustration by renowned Japanese artist Shunya Yamashita, known for his videogame character designs and beautiful illustrations.
