Virtua Fighter 4 - Evolution:

If there is ever a game that is worth playing on your own on the PS2 over and over again, it is Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution.

Again, this is on your own; when you have time on your hands, but no friends to accompany you; when you have time on your hands, but no money to spend; when you have time on your hands, but no enthusiasm to do anything productive with it.

Normally, this is not the case for me. At least one of those three aspects are fulfilled. More often than not, two or more at the same time.

But then again, there are those time, when I do find myself blissfully staring at the ceiling, wondering what the hell it is that I am doing with my life.

It is at those times that I decide that instead of having another inane conversation with myself, hey, why not take part in an inane fight?

Yeah baby! Yeah!

(Sorry, been watching far too many Austin power's reruns. If you don't know who Austin Powers is, check out the international man of mystery in his first movie, as he battles himself in a seriously ridiculous fight that lasts several seconds. Also, don't miss the second movie as well, when the Evil dooers decide to decidedly steal Austin's precious Mojo! *shudder*)

Anyway, getting back to topic for the third time in the row, Virtua Fighter Evolution Rocks!! Period.

Now I may be a bit late in writing this (it's been out for five years now) but still, better late than somebody else stealing your cake. That's what I always say.

Virtua fighter rocks. There are no random power ups or awesome blitzkering moves that will like totally decimate your enemies in one flashy Kablosk! But that's why it's so friggen awesome.

It is about as close to fighting simulation as one can get.

Sure, there is the aspect of you hitting the leg of the opponent while he bounces of the ground to do a staggering amount of damage which will make you wonder what was so damn special in that punch... BUT! It is about the closest thing we have at the moment gamers.

And... IT... IS... ON!!!

I challenge anyone who's played the game before.

My character is Akira Yuki.

Yeah, that's right, the insanely awesome looking character who looks like he'll break you into two if you laugh at him while he furls his eyebrows in ridiculously crazy contortions that'll make even "The Rock" from WWE fame stare on in amazement.

But never the less, he will beat your punk ass down, and smile himself giddy while doing it.

And like Akira Yuki himself says, "Juuunin Haiyan Daiyo!!!"

Right. I know, right? I so totally know what he means. I mean, I'm a writer after all, so like, Japanese is one of the languages I need to know.... so er... like...

Umm.... Signing off!! Horiiiyaaahhh!!!
