Gaming Guru shirt, Epic Beard Man, Retro-Pong clock, and Hexen 2 coming to the iPhone

Sunday afternoons, aren’t they lovely? Hope you folks aren’t too slack to read the weekend edition ;)

If you feel like a bit of a god when it comes to gaming, why not get yourself this shirt?

Brilliant, just as brilliant as this r etro-themed Pong clock.

You can buy kits from their store as well. So half-way through my upcoming review which I was working on today, I was thinking about the Hexen series, and recalled them being a lot of fun! Luckily a decent port of Hexen II is coming to the iPhone, including a hands-on video from Toucharcade;

But there will be somewhat a delay till this comes out once agreements are made on the Quake engine source code (as it isn’t open source yet). But what is out, is this craze going around the web lately of Epic Beard Man, there’s been comical alternations of the infamous footage floating around like the Punch Out homage which is my personal favourite:

And there’s of course the Mortal Kombat one

Best Alex Kidd game ever? Street Fighter 4, NBA Jam remake, and Dark Side of the Moon Link

Props to Mel for dropping such an awesome review for what I even consider an awesome game for the SEGA Master System and to do it on her birthday too ^_^ CHEERS!

Okay onto today’s post, I was hesitant of discussing this in a retrogaming site, but this game oozes of traditionalism when it comes to the Street Fighter series which we’ve grown up to love and be inspired from. Super Street Fighter 4 is coming out on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in April which will include additional characters (some old, some new). I’ll no doubt be hanging for that one, perhaps in the meantime I might grab it on the iPhone if it comes out sooner.

Yup. Yup yupyup yup! I’m glad to see that both titles are coming out, as opposed to a remake of NBA Jam which got a minor mention then the announcement was removed all of a sudden.. Word has it that it may still come out for the Wii, but not so much for the 360 or PS3.

A classic title from Midway no doubt. I mean who in the 90’s DIDN’T play that in the arcades or any of the 16 bit consoles? Same goes with the first 3 Mortal Kombat games too, this artwork proves that point that a classic mashed up with a classic CAN work!

Nice work Frank Turner!

Who here fancies an alcoholic beverage? OF course! Well how many like it when playing a video game? If so, then THIS tumblelog is for you! Anything to do with gaming (OLD and new) and drinking!
