FIFA STREEt AVAILABLE AT SKOOBS FROM 16 MARCH 2012

FIFA Street boils down the soccer experience, takes out the endless running and the frustratingly long moments between the moments and delivers a great facsimile of a street game.



Action stays close, the game’s modes feel incredibly varied and it’s an intense version of the sport.

Unlike previous games in the old FIFA Street series, the new FIFA Street is not cartoony or overly-stylized. Players are realistic, with realistic movements and the ability to pull off some seriously agile moves. The game’s World Tour mode functions as its campaign and it’s quite lengthy. You’ll travel around a regional area participating in a variety of game types before making your way to the national stage and later international competition.

The way the World Tour mode is structured, along with some of its lengthy tournaments mean you’ll have plenty to play before you call it a day in FIFA Street.  You can play various modes like 5 on 5, Panna rules, Futsal, Last Man Standing or even customize your own rules. Each game type requires a different style of play and that keeps your attention far longer than a standard FIFA game.

Capcom explains Street Fighter X Tekken on-disc DLC

Capcom admitted that the 12 Street Fighter X Tekken characters announced as PlayStation Vita exclusives are actually included on the discs of the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of the game to be sold as downloadable content.

Capcom doesn't think on-disc DLC is worth fighting over.

In a statement on the Capcom Unity blog, the publisher responded to outcry over the decision, saying the move was made to save hard drive space and to "ensure for a smooth transition" when the DLC becomes available.
According to Capcom, keeping the DLC on disc will allow players who purchased the content and those who did not to play together without issue. Addressing the hard drive space issue, Capcom said, "Instead of a massive download, there will be a much smaller unlock that brings the new content to the surface."
Capcom reiterated what it said February, noting that a "Super" or "Ultimate" double-dip version of the game will not be made available, with all additional content arriving as DLC.
The 12 characters that make up the on-disc DLC for Street Fighter X Tekken are Blanka, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Guy, and Sakura, while the Tekken side will welcome Alisa Bosconovitch, Bryan Fury, Christie Monteiro, Jack, Lars Alexandersson, and Lei Wulong.
As for when the 12 characters will be made available to console gamers, Capcom said they will arrive "soon after" the PS Vita version launch, currently scheduled for this fall.
Street Fighter X Tekken is due out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 6. The PC version of the game is due out on May 11, with a PS Vita version to follow.

GRAND SLAM TENNIS 2: NOW AVAILABLE AT SKOOBS

The first Grand Slam Tennis game was a Wii exclusive and focused on being easy to pick up and play rather than being a serious simulation. The sequel is available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and is a whole different affair, with EA trying to compete against more serious tennis titles like Top Spin 4.
As always EA’s presentation is flawless, the menu system is similar to other top titles like FIFA 12 and the animations and character models are all top notch.




Pat Cash commentates on the action and he is accompanied by legend John McEnroe. The tennis players available may not be everyone from the professional game but all the ones you want are there. So long as you can play as Novak Djoković, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer, we doubt that anyone really minds who else is available.

There is a smaller range of top female players on show but you can still play as heavyweights Serena Williams, Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova. On top of this you can relive the glory days of tennis greats like Björn Borg, Pete Sampras and Martina Navratilova who are all available for selection.



Like in the previous game, all four major tournaments are available to play in and as with the players available to choose, the only official competitions are the ones most people care about. That means you can break British hearts in Wimbledon, stun supporters down under in the Australian Open, make the crowd fall in love with you at Roland Garros in Paris, or rock home at the US Open.

SSX: NOW AVAILABLE AT SKOOBS

SSX's lead characters are absent from the first 15 minutes of the game. You meet them soon enough - resolute, ancient, snow-capped behemoths plucked from the Rockies, Alps and Himalayas, drawn up through a NASA satellite and digitally deposited into the game - but before you can walk them, you must first learn how to fly above them.

Dropped from a helicopter at 30,000 feet, the opening minutes of SSX give everybody the chance to experience the game's true quest object: flow. Freefalling through the sky with no trees to slam against, no rails to miss, no snow tundra to upset the carve of your combo, you are free to chain trick after trick and watch the score counter climb to the stratosphere. 20 hours later and there's a chance you'll be able to link trick to tweaked trick with this kind of uninterrupted elegance, but for now you can wax lyrical with your thumbs without fear of stutter.





SSX is a vibrant, eager advance for the Cool Boarder/Tony Hawk's lineage of extreme sports video games.
Then, when you've mastered the basic vocabulary, it's time to meet the opponent against whom you're going to pit it. A squeeze of the right bumper and you open a wing suit, gliding to the ground where miles of snow dip and rise. Rock protrusions provide rails, and ice sheets scream you into tunnels that burrow through the earth before spitting you out into twirling drops.
