Daav from NoobFeed.com revisits feudal Japan to take another stab at this weapon-introducing pioneer. Does the 2D fighter live up to today's standard set by giants like BlazBlue?
Go Fanboy has released their Cosplay Babe of the Week featuring the cultishly popular Mina Majikina from the Samurai Shodown franchise.

"When it comes to classic fighting franchises, there just aren’t that many big names that have stood the test of time. Street Fighter always comes to mind because of its influence and Capcom’s continued success, followed by some newer fighting franchises like Soul Calibur and Tekken. Mixed in between these big commercial names is another classic beloved by hardcore fighting fans. That line of games is SNK’s popular Samurai Shodown series, now in its seventeenth year."

"Xbox Evolved writes:
"Samurai Shodown Sen hits the states in just a few days. Prepare to slice a few heads on the 30th with this hands-on preview from the final build of the game.""
"Samurai Shodown: Sen is a disappointing entry for the long-running fighting series that first released in 1993. Hindered with excruciating long load times and a limited amount of detail for character models, it’s clear that not every fighter is able to make an easy transition to 3D. As the fourth installment, Samurai Shodown: Sen is an archaic look at the fighting genre."
"Gaming culture takes over Tate Britain tomorrow, March 5th 2010, as everything from low-tech parlour games Charades and Werewolf to performance and interactive media art with Blast Theory's Can You See Me Now? take the spotlight in Late at Tate Britain: Game Play.
