Video: Guess Who'll Make a Cameo on Soul Calibur V?

Heihachi, Link, Master Chief, Star Killer, Yoda and Darth Vader. What do they all have in common? We'll aside from the fact that  they're all awesome, they were also part of the Soul Calibur series as cameo characters. In the upcoming Soul Calibur V, another will make the list, as one famous master assassin enters the world of Souls and Swords. Prepare yourself for Ezio Auditore da Firenze!

Video: Tekken Blood Vengeance Teaser Trailer

(Notes: I really struggled to find words to describe this epic trailer.)

Finally, Katsuhiro Harada announced their latest project. It's not a new game folks, but its a brand new Tekken CGI film! Entitled "Tekken: Blood Vengeance", this will be an action-packed, epic CGI film to watch out for!

This time, Namco Pictures will be at the helm of the production,  and top names in CGI and anime will be behind the film. The film will be directed by Namco's own Youichi Mouri, the guy behind Tekken 5 and 6's opening cinematics; Dai Sato of Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, will be behind the screenplay; and Digital Frontier, the guys behind Resident Evil: Degeneration will handle production.

From the looks of the trailer, an epic battle between Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima will ensue, causing tons of mayhem and destruction, and knowing Namco, I bet this film will be as epic as the series itself. This is a really good move for Namco as they will have more say on the story and production, compared to last year's shitty Hollywood Tekken movie.

It will be coming out Summer of 2011, so its really soon and I hope it will be coming out in the Philippines as well. It will also be shown in Digital 3D, so wow, Bravo Namco!

News: Namco Bandai Countdown - A Teaser for a New Game?

There is definitely something about countdown teasers that make me love and hate them at the same time. I hate them for the fact that they provide little or no information whatsoever about the event they're counting down to, but they still keep me excited enough to always come back to the countdown.

Anyway, Namco Bandai games has unveiled a countdown teaser, for something. It's anyone's guess right now, may it be a new game or a new toy. Entitled "The Beginning of a New Chapter", the countdown shows a flickering candle and a sword, whilst a book flips its pages as the countdown progresses.

You can check out the countdown site here. Will this be a revelation of a new RPG? Or could this be a new Soul Calibur game? I assume so because swords and books were often used in the Soul Calibur series. But we'll see.. in 13 days!

Video: Street Fighter x Tekken Cinematic Trailer and Updates

What happens when two of the best fighting game franchises collide? Namco and Capcom are working on it, and when it comes out, the explosion created will rival that of the big bang. Street Fighter X Tekken (the "X" is pronounced as "cross"), one of the most awaited fighting cross-overs is coming to consoles, and Capcom is kind enough to reveal a hair-raising cinematic trailer, and an awesome gameplay video (after the jump).
