For a country that has had their beautiful country demolished in one out of every ten films produced, they sure do love their life endangering monsters. The unstoppable Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G for the PSP has topped Famitsu's top 100 games sold for the halfway point of 2008. Facing some stiff opposition (mostly from Nintendo) and having only been released at the end of March, this is one seriously impressive feat.

Other Capcom titles in the top 100 include Devil May Cry 4 (PS3) at #13 and Mega Man Star Force 2 at the #100 slot. Monster Hunter also occupies #19 and #96 with Monster Hunter Portable 2nd and the greatest hits version of the original Monster Hunter Portable respectively. Funny enough, the former of those two is also the second best selling title for the PlayStation Portable.

For the rest of the top 100, hop on over to NeoGAF where the entire list has been assembled.

Bolshaya Pabeda! Mike "Gabe" Krahulik of Penny-Arcade fame is showing off his fighting spirit today with the unveiling of his contribution to Udon's Street Fighter Tribute book.

"A while back I was asked to be a part of a special Street Fighter tribute book from Udon. It's a massive book full of various artist's take on the Street Fighter world to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the series. I was honored to be asked to participate and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out who I'd draw. When it comes to the game, I tend to be a Ken man but in my opinion he's not that much fun to draw. I ended up settling on Zangief since I've always thought he was hilarious."

Mike's art has evolved greatly over the past few years, making for one of the most easily identifiable styles in comics. It can also be incredibly goofy at times, so pairing him up with the Red Cyclone feels like a perfect match. Pre-order confirmed? I think so.
