2009 is shaping up to be an absolutely phenomenal year and two-dimensional martial arts fighting games are really seeing a resurgence and renaissance. Absolutely every single gamer that considers themselves a hard-core arcade fighting game fan should not walk but run to score a copy of this masterpiece.
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. Here's week 10 of Steam A to Z. This week - BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Blocks That Matter, BloodRayne: Betrayal, and Borderlands.
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."
