Tour de 64: Command and Conquer

Shouldn't that be “divide and conquer?"

Command and Conquer is a real-time strategy game released for the PC in 1995, and ported to the Nintendo 64 several years later. It brings with it updated graphics and a few bonus missions, but the core gameplay remains the same. With clunky controls and straightforward missions, the game doesn't offer anything unique, but the foundation is still solid.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Primer

Let PixlBit get you up to speed on all things Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2!

Final Fantasy is one of the most celebrated series in video game history. It spans 14 epic games across five console generations and is loved by fans around the world. But the funny thing about Final Fantasy is the fact that each adventure takes place in a completely different world with new lands to explore, party members to meet and villains to defeat. The only time a Final Fantasy game has continued its story was with the spinoff of FF X, which was given the awkward-but-accurate name of Final Fantasy X-2. That changes now, with the divisive Final Fantasy XIII getting a direct sequel on January 31.

NFL Blitz Interview with Producer David Ross

Though Midway is gone, Blitz has made a triumphant return thanks to EA. Click through to get the scoop on EA's Mutant League throwback, league violence, and some of the team's favorite cheats.

After nearly a decade, the NFL license has returned to the Blitz series. With Midway dead and buried, EA has acquired the rights to the fan favorite arcade football series with the intent of returning it to its former glory. After a successful outing with the NBA Jam series, it's clear EA has what it takes to properly rekindle these arcade experiences despite their simulation focused pedigree. PixlBit had an opportunity to interview the game's producer, David Ross, about the development of the game, working with the NFL license, and preserving the classic experience.

Tour de 64: ClayFighter 63 1/3 and ClayFighter: The Sculptor's Cut

The missing 2/3 of the game must have been quality control.

These are two versions of the last game released in the ClayFighter series, which spawned as a spoof of the fighting games which were all the rage in the early-to-mid 90's. As I'm no fan of fighters, I don't really know how this series compares with traditional fighting games, but I always appreciate the seldom appearance of a videogame parody. Unfortunately, this one seems to be all style and no substance, and even the theme can wear thin.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is BioWare/EA’s attempt to overthrow the current MMO giant, World of Warcraft. As a person with minimal exposure to MMOs I can honestly say that I would rather wield a lightsaber than a regular ole’ sword any day. That said, I decided to venture out to BioWare and Gamer Grub’s Best Buy Star Wars: The Old Republic release event in Union Square in Manhattan on a chilly Monday night. I went home loaded up with Star Wars goodies, PB & J Gamer Grub, and a scratchy throat.

Street Fighter: The AWOL Files

There are World Warriors that have yet to step into that ring!

With the release of the free “Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition 2012” update out now, I’ve had the seminal fighting franchise on my mind. Every Christmas, I have a 100 match melee with my cousin to see who the greatest Street Fighter of the year is. It’s time to get back to training, but as my thumbs get back into fighting form a thought occurs to me: there are some characters that have yet to step up and throw down in the Street Fighter tournament. Who are these possible “New Challengers”, and what could they bring to the table that sets them apart from the already unique and diverse cast of characters?
