Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is looking AWESOME
First announced in April, the XBLA/PSN exclusive Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (now there’s a mouthful) is one game I am highly looking forward to.

Taiko Drum Master DS uses a pair of styli to play
I just got back from Japan last night, where I spent 2 weeks shopping, eating, shopping, and playing arcade games.
