The Street Fighter franchise is finally poised to make a comeback in the world of cinema after a long and rather depressing history.  As you may recall, last Summer we received the rather exciting news that Capcom had given the team behind the short film Street Fighter: Legacy the ok to move forward with a full-on series.  Dubbed Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist, the series is still moving forward but now it needs a little help from the gaming community via Kickstar

Video games always offer exciting experiences, yet there are few that literally provide something we’ve never seen before.  Yes, in some cases a few games do surface which put us in instant awe mode, though most of the time we merely see variations of what has already appeared; sometimes in a new form that’s hardly captivating.

Over the last few years we’ve seen the rise of games which put us in the shoes of superheroes or even those with a more villainous nature.  Aside from the expected arrival of games based on established licenses, with wavering quality, a few original superhero titles have risen to the surface that allowed us to further our desire to shoot bolts of electricity out of our hands or make a single leap that takes us airborne for five blocks.

Late last month a game was released that totally took me by surprise. No, I wasn’t taken aback by an obvious heavyweight like Dishonored as it was instead the small PlayStation Mobile game Sixty Second Shooter Deluxe that had me completely hooked in every regard. You can check out my review of SSSD to learn the finer points of what made the title so addicting, but the big news is that developer Happion Laboratories has just revealed their follow-up project.
