Gamesindustry is reporting that Capcom has seen net profits reduced by 73% from 2009 to a total of $23.6 million. Sales took a hit as well, dropping 27.3%. For all of the great titles Capcom has been putting out, there were some high-profile bombs over the last twelve months.Dark VoidandBionic Commandoprobably didn’t do them any favors. But the company does expect to bounce back in this next quarter, driven by sales ofLost Planet 2,Monster Hunter TriandSuper Street Fighter IV....

I’ve got theClock Towertitles lying around my house, all of ’em partly played. So, I admit that I don’t know the entirety of the story behind the games, but whatBloody-Disgusting has listedas a cast breakdown seems starkly different from any of the titles that I know. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. From what it looks like, the film seems to be taking place somewhere in theClock Tower/Clock Tower IIarea, with a lot of creative licensing being taken with who the characters are....

We recently got a good look at the North American box art forSuper Street Fighter IV, and — how can I put this kindly? — many of us did not find it to be particularly good. More often than not, Europe gets the cool-looking covers, so you’d figure for a game like this, that general rule would apply. Uh, not so much. I would say that I equally dislike the cover art for Europe and the United States, but Ken’s terrifying expression is enough to push me into thinking us Americans have it better, just this once....

Send your entries (please pare your pictures down to one submission) tosamit.sarkar+contest @ gmail.comwith the subject line “Balls deep for Top Spin 3.” Here’s what you can win:...

CVGhas been chatting with Visceral Games about the upcoming sci-fi horror sequel,Dead Space 2. As we already know, the game will take place in a huge environment full of destructible fun. How will this affect the game? Well, Visceral reckons it’ll make it better, obviously. Especially where the combat’s involved. “Some of the destructible items in the world will break into pieces that are useful in combat,” explains creative director Wright Bagwell....

Specifically,the demoforDungeonsis worth looking into because so many of us were under the impression that it would be in the same vein asDungeon Keeper. (To be fair, the trailers were expertly crafted.) That really is not the case at all, and so long as you realize this going in, there’s some fun to be had. Rather than being an all-seeing entity, you do have direct control over a Dungeon Lord — who can still more or less see everything....

Sometimes I wonder if I am the last journalist on the planet that still has some hope forToo Human. It’s been a long ride for Denis Dyack and Silicon Knights, and its all about to culminate this Tuesday whenToo Humanhits store shelves for the Xbox 360. Today, in an interview withKikizo, Dyack mentioned something that doesn’t necessarily jive with all the previews for the game thus far. He said thatToo Humanhas the propensity to last up to eighty hours if players are willing to put in some effort:...

Good morning, kiddies! Nick Chester, Brad Nicholson, Dale North, and Samit Sarkar are reporting live from Sony’s E3 press conference at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Hit the jump for the live blog of all the exciting news that’s sure to come out of it! [Update:Samit took 17 photos during the conference. Take a look at them in the gallery!]

EA Sports has just released the newest trailer forEA Sports MMA, and it’s a pretty sweet one called “Worlds Collide” that highlights what would be the ultimate mixed martial arts fight: thetwo cover athletes, America’s Randy Couture and Russia’s Fedor Emelianenko, taking each other on. EA Sports MMAwill be out for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 19th.

To not much surprise, Microsoft unveiled its new slimmer, quieter Xbox 360 console at its E3 press conference. Shipping now, the $299.99 console will be available on store shelves before week’s end. But at E3, we’ve have had our chance to get our hands on it right now. Well, not right now. We did it early, and you may get all of my hands on impressions and details after the jump....

If you know me, you know how I feel about the God of War series. But if you don’t, here’s the short version — if Kratos could some how impregnate me, allowing me to give birth to a beautiful baby girl, I’d spoil it to death. Then, when it was old enough, I’d move to West Virginia and start hitting on it. Whatever happens after that is my own business....

As originally posted onJapanator Yes, please. King of Fighters XIII is finally going to get released over here, so I can finally jump into the series exactly where I want to. Atlus claims to have improved the netcode significantly, and there are a host of new features and refinements including NEOMAX supers, ‘a less restricting perspective’ which I take to mean that the camera is zoomed out a bit, and Mai Shiranui is finally in it....

Just Dance 3is set to repeat the franchise’s success on not just the Wii, but also on the PS3 and Xbox 360 this time around. You’ll need PlayStation Move and Kinect for it, respectively. The game contains 40+ tracks, some of which Samit hasalready listedbecause he is on top of everythingJust Dance-related. The Kinect version will offer Xbox Live leaderboards for score-whoring, a “slight difference in terms of difficulty thanks to the full body capture tracking,” which will come into play for scoring points with your entire body, and a special Shout Out!...
