News Tekken 6 Enlists On Female Costume Designers
You know what, Tekken has got to a point where its biggest hook is how ridiculous it is
So it totally makes sense to get female anime clothes designers working on the the latest iteration of the franchise, Tekken 6. In the above image, you'll note Jin wearing a wonderful white, erm, jacket-robe-type-thing. We're sure that's a term used in the...

News GIRL Cheated The Journey To Mars
We knew our calculations weren't wrong
When we said it would take 5 years for Noby Noby Boy's GIRL to reach Mars, we did not "fail" (like one certain N4G poster claimed); Namco cheated. Apparently, Namco multiplied player's submitted lengths by 765, speeding up the process. Essentially, it cheated, though undeniably in a good way. Which...
