Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June '09

This month, ATI's new Radeon HD 4770 is missing in action, since online stores are not only unable to keep it in stock, but also de-listing it completely. With violent movements in pricing, though, it'd have been taken off the recommended list anyway. Read more

Review by Kevin Parrish.

Namco-Bandai's acclaimed fighting series returns with enhanced graphics, new gameplay modes and character-creation features. But it's the online multiplayer modes that separate Soulcalibur IV from its predecessors --and from any other fighting game.

Meh online fighting is nice but what I like is the story is advancing for once and finally you get to see Siegfried fight against Nightmare.

That and dude the game looks sweet. It would be the only reason to get a console for me who is a die hard PC gamer.

I would say that this is excellent, but I really miss a couple of things from 3.

In Soul Calibur 3 they had an excellent single player mode called chronicles of the sword. Kind of a blending of strategy and fighting game.

Also Soul Calibur 3 had a long and winding plotline for the story mode. It took a while to beat it for one character, much less all of them.

I do think that Soul Calibur 4 is an excellent addition to the franchise, but for the three steps forward it took from 3, it also took two steps back.
