What better way to celebrate the arcade history behind Street Fighter than with a collectable coin? Getting one is simple: You get this exclusive commemorative Street Fighter coin when you pre-order SFIV from GameCrazy.  In addition to the coin itself, there's some fun Street Fighter history on the back of the packaging. So if you haven't pre-ordered yet, get over to the closest GameCrazy to snag one!

Oh, and don't stick this in the arcade machine to unlock seekrits. It doesn't work. Not that I tried that or anything...

Mega Man maestro and Unity favorite Mega Ran has been in the lab working on some new MM9-inspired material, and it's pretty hot. What do you think?  

Check out Ran's blog for another "making of" video and more.

Ron Asheton, guitarist and one of the founders of The Stooges, has passed. At age 60, he, his brother Scott and Iggy Pop rocked harder live than a lot of bands in their 20s. The Stooges have been an incredible influence on modern rock, with stellar tracks like "No Fun," "Now I Wanna Be Your Dog," and "Search and Destroy" laying a framework in the late Sixties for most of the rockin' alternatives bands of the 80s, 90s and 00s. I was very fortunate to see the reformed Stooges pummel the Stubbs stage at SXSW two years ago, with the also-legendary Mike Watt proividing thunderous sonic broom grooves. I couldn't believe how great these old dudes were on stage and how much fun the whole show was. Iggy has always been and will always be a hell of a showman, but Ron's guitar work was just as important as Jimbo's onstage antics. If you've got some cash rattling around on iTunes, do yourself a favor and grab Raw Power and Fun House.

Ray Padilla cornered Capcom's own Mike Webster to talk some RE5.  They discuss RE5 influences and history, fast zombies (I mean majini!), and even Jill's rumored death (or is she?).
