East v. West; this battle’s about to explode.

Street Fighter IV may seem dead online, but offline, the game remains popular as ever.

This evening, Gootecks is hosting the latest Bar Fights event featuring Empire Arcadia against some of Southern California’s top talent. Look forward to seeing Justin Wong, Arturo “Sabin” Sanchez, L.I. Joe Marn Phan and Sanford Kelly go head-to-head against Alex Valle, Ed Ma, Combofiend, and  some unannounced participants.

It’s all going down very soon (22 minutes at the time of this article being published). Get hype! Thanks to Triforce for the heads up.

Twice the awesome for a retail title at 1/60th the price.

An excellent twin-stick shooter came out a few years back, a little before you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting five games that wish they were half as great as Geometry Wars.  Bullet Candy was a ton of fun, filled with lovely explosions and perfectly tuned fast-paced shooting.  Now, in anticipation of Bullet Candy 2 coming out soon-ish, the original has received an update with the new graphics engine, and is available at a bargain price, too.

The $1 price tag is actually a bit misleading, because that’s just the minimum you can pay.  The price is actually what you feel the game is worth, with $1 being the minimum.  I own the original and wouldn’t mind giving it a replay with a graphic tune-up, so I paid $5.   It’s only fair.

There’s a free demo and full game download here.

Ono spills more details. Whoo hoo!
