On October 30, 2011, right in the heart of Makati City Philippines, local zombie fan group Dead Zone organized the second annual "Zombiethon" zombie walk, which was open to all undead lovers and ghoulish fans out there! Being one of those itching to go, I suited up as the main protagonist of AMC's The Walking Dead himself, Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes, and proceeded to meet with the rest of the zombie trope in the meeting point located at the heart of Makati City.

With February 15 just a few days away, the hype for Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds is getting bigger and bigger! While some lucky guys out there have managed to play and/ or get the game ahead and delivered some mixed opinions online, I'm still looking forward to this newest crossover title between Marvel and Capcom, which took more than a decade to get made! Heck, you can't blame the excitement all us fans have over this game, and you can bet your butts that people are feeling nostalgic right now and remembering the good ol' days of this fighting game franchise's history!
In anticipation of next week's long awaited release, Capcom has released a new Japanese Television Ad for their newest fighting game brawler, Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, featuring a young girl who has doubts about heroes existing in this world, plus the official Japanese song to the game "Fact"! Check it out below, courtesy of the guys at Capcom and Shoryuken!

Super Street Fighter IV is getting new releases in two different platforms. One is the franchise's original home, the arcades, and the game's going to get new tweaks and characters added to its roster in the form of Yun and Yang. The other platform is the Nintendo 3DS, the new portable gaming system Nintendo is gearing for release early next year. From the trailers and screenshots released, the port looks a lot faithful to its console counterpart, with its graphics understandably scaled down to compensate for the 3DS' requirements.
However, more pressing and slightly disappointing news appears via way of Kotaku. It appears that Capcom will be giving SSFIV 3DS access to 4 hotkey slots that players can assign moves and special moves to, allowing players to dish out punishment at the press of a button. While it may sound like good news that a simplified way has come to play Street Fighter, I'm not one of those favoring this mechanic being implemented. The game of Street Fighter has always been about challenging oneself and mastering moves and combos in order to improve one's skills. This eliminates any challenge from the equation, and practically makes the game "easy mode" on the go. Fine that beginners get this option to make it easier for them, but it won't teach them how the game is played properly. You play the game the only way it should be played - either with a controller or arcade stick, and the video below demonstrates how those tried and true rules apply to skilled veterans.
The New York Comic-Con 2010 rages on with no signs of yielding, and it's just the perfect place for new announcements surrounding next year's much awaited crossover fighting game, Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds! The latest updates surrounding the title have just been "knock off your socks" news, and via the reliable gaming news source that is Kotaku, here to start things off are the 4 new characters revealed for the game!
Zombie season seems to be in full swing these days, especially with a lot of great stuff popping out of the woodwork that use the undead ghouls as plot material to bake into stories full of blood, carnage, and gore. Thanks to the influence of zombie lore godfathers like the great George A. Romero, you can expect popculture to utilize the "zombie apocalypse" scenario anywhere at any given time, and it could literally explode in your face just as fast as the ghoulish epidemic spreads with just a single bite.
