I haven’t played all the games in the series, but I have so many good memories of the games that I have played. I can remember back in high school when my best friend and I would stay up all night playing Soul Calibur 3, trying to beat the game and unlock all the character creation pieces (“Chronicles of the Sword,” anyone?). That game was the source of many inside jokes, and ever since I’ve been eager to play all the latest games in the … sabre 2012-02-08T08:00:01+00:00 http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/blogs/detail/categories/pixxel/two_community_events_one_epic_night http://www.fragdolls.com/index.php/site/two_community_events_one_epic_night/#When:08:00:00Z This past Thursday on February 2nd, I had the opportunity to attend two community events held in San Francisco for the upcoming Twisted Metal and Street Fighter X Tekken games. Seriously. Two events, one night. So I snapped some photos while I was here, there, and everywhere, to bring the moments to you. Shall we?

Here, the game was available to play, a tournament was being held, there was some seriously sweet cosplay, and swag given out to the droves of fans.

I went to show Rocksmith to the attendees, we had the game set up in the Gibson booth. Everyone who tried it was excited about the game, no matter their level of guitar experience. Beginners like me found the game easy to grasp after a song or two. Advanced guitar players raved at the way Rocksmith gives you a fun way to pick up the guitar and learn to play new songs!

This couldn’t be truer. After all, it’s the games that get me to invest in any gaming platform I purchase. I bought my Xbox so I could play Halo, I got my PS3 so I could play Little Big Planet and I got a Wii so I could Just Dance. I don’t think hand held devices are any different. Sony is banking on a number of AAA titles to help put their Vita into gamers hands.

While some of the previous, risky ad campaigns have found themselves to be the center of online debates galore, NAMCO BANDAI has taken a more artsy approach recently by teaming up with Jim Rockwell, graffiti artist and creative director of ENDoftheLINE.

At every corner, street artists sold various works including speed caricatures, custom-done tees, backpacks, kicks and hats. Fidget and I drooled over a Frag Doll hat Phoenix picked up from a street vendor. That weekend I found a street artist selling his trade on the show floor so I bargained for myself & Fidget a deal at twenty for two.

The eSports event, featuring World of Warcraft Arena and StarCraft II tournaments that will be held in Asia in late 2012.

I was recently introduced to these by my cousin, who picked up the digital guide for Batman: Arkham City. Although I haven’t played the game (yet), I could easily tell how helpful the app was in terms of crossing off achievements and checking off icons on the Gotham map.

While there are times we play games to pwn face and couldn’t be too bothered to care about our on-screen character’s fictional personality, there are other times where we can’t help but be fascinated with some of the most captivating game characters and alternate universes ever imagined.  One outlet some of us utilize to show our appreciation for such characters is through art.
