Street Fighter IV Coming To iPhone
Over at IGN they announced that Capcom will be releasing the critically acclaimed Street Fighter IV for the iPhone, but this is no simple port. Capcom has spent month developing a control scheme for a platform that has no physical buttons, they’ve created a virtual stick and buttons to unleash all those crazy combos; it even features online play allowing players to exchange blows over Bluetooth. It also features a training arena known as “Dojo Mode” and then there is “Tournament Mode”. Expect to find SFIV in the app store very soon. Check out the screens below…

So, The Rating System…
It’s pretty simple, a game can either get a thumbs up or a thumbs down; there’s no in between. The reason I did this is because mediocrity is hard to rate and even harder to describe, so if you completely get rid of the middle ground where mediocrity exists it makes rating the games a whole lot easier and enjoyable. So in conclusion, good games get a…
bad games get a
Great = 2 Thumbs Up
Good = 1 Thumbs Up
Bad = 1 Thumbs Down
Terrible = 2 Thumbs Down
Welcome to Thumbs Up Gaming!
So, what is Thumbs-Up Gaming you ask?
Well this blog is merely a jumping off point for my future site, hopefully… Gaming sites these days are caught between the business side of gaming and the so called “console wars”. Now that’s cool and all, but it’s not gaming, not in my opinion; games are supposed to be fun and provide the player with a unique engaging experience, and that’s what I’m here to talk about. Providing solid, smart, insightful reviews and your daily dose of gaming news.
My system for judging games is different from the average site, I don’t like the 1-10 grading scale and from the title of the blog I’m sure you’ve guessed how I’ll be doing it… that’s right I’ll be using my thumbs (a gamers most valuable appendage right?) old school “At the Movies with Ebert & Siskel/Roeper” style. I’ll go over the whole rating system in my next post as this is just an introduction.
Thank You.
