What have I been doing with my summer? Playing Soul Caliber IV. I got hooked on this game in the earlier 1990's. In another form it was one of the first games I purchase for the Sega Dreamcast. Back then the graphics were awesome, and I be lying if I didn't say Xianghua and Ivy didn't give me a serious woody. In March, I hear Namco is making Soul Caliber IV. Bang! The release date goes on the the must buy list!

I'm not disappointed. Well, maybe a bit Darth Vader on the PS3 version is a bit of a wimp. The light saber is cool, but would it just be overkill? A light saber cuts anything except another lightsaber or a force field. You would think it and Darth Vader would make short work of anyone stupid enough to charge him with a mere metal sword. One swish, and Maxi is laying on the floor trying to put his guts back into his Elvis pants. This is not the case...Oh Well.

Namco has a thing for big breasted women. (Who doesn't?!?) I think that comes from Japanese erotic desires. Large breast are rare in Japanese women. I guess that would example alot of things around the world (Blonde and blue eyed women are the Cat's Meow in Middle Eastern locales, and dark skinned men/women are sexually exotic in the white dominated portion of the planet.) I Digress.

Soul Caliber is a fun game, and this time I don't have to spend hours trying to unlock the special features. You can now buy cool gear for you characters. This really extend the replay factor. Too bad I can't spend more time, because of my tenant problems.
