Wii Game Review: Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
Capcom seems to favor the first quarter of the year for its biggest releases and this 2010 is no exception with the next entry in its VS. fighting series, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. This cinderella story of game almost didn’t make it over to our shores, but the Gods that be or what have you saw fit to bring this gem stateside and I for one am grateful. Featuring a new simplified control system, odd characters, and crazy combos, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom is an amazing game that fans of obscure anime or Capcom’s library of 2D fighters should definitely pick up.

Manga Review: Inuyasha vol 45
Inuyasha Vol. 45
continues the story of Kagome, the reincarnation of a Japanese priestess from the feudal era, and her adventures with Inuyasha, a half-demon. The Shikon Jewel, a crystal tainted with evil power that enhances the abilities of demons, has shattered and the pair is trying to collect all of it. However, it's now (aside from three shards with Kohaku and Koga respectively) completely in the hands of their arch-nemesis, the half-demon Naraku. There’s no telling what evil he will do next, and their small band of heroes fights to destroy him and save the innocent people of feudal Japan. They fight demons and fall in love with each other in elaborate love triangles..it is a Takahashi series after all. Inuyasha is part action/ horror (with some gore) and part funny/sad love story.
