Tekken 6 is on hold... er, gone GOLD!

WAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! Goddamn, finally! My long wait, which began way, way back in November 2007, is gonna be over. The first time I saw [b]Tekken 6[/b], it was in the arcade, and the moment I saw those crisp, highly-detailed, glamorously-sculpted character models (I remember seeing Nina Williams in Tekken 6 for the first time blew my mind off... so beautiful!), I knew this game was something special. For me, no other fighter looked this great- [b]Virtua Fighter 5[/b] and [b]Soulcalibur IV[/b] are both indeed gorgeous, but they lack a certain X-factor that I find in Tekken 6. There's a truly wonderful artistry and personality to Tekken 6's character models and overall graphics- it's like every other previous game in the series was an animated feature, and this latest game the full-blown live-action version. But of course, while the graphics reeled me in, it was the gameplay that made me stay. Tekken 6's fighting action, the more full and whole-looking and sexier animations (with tons of new moves and reactions) really made the game look and feel new. The customizations are so much deeper and cooler-looking than before in Tekken 5 and DR, and it's beyond fun to tweak your fighters' appearances... but now, in the console versions, at least I don't have to spend bundles of cash in the arcades. On top of all that, there's the TONS, and I mean TONS of stuff in the home versions that you'll never find in the arcade. The Story mode cinematics, the new [b]Scenario Campaign[/b] AKA 'Force Mode Unleashed', the exclusive home-only modes, online play and functionality... it's all good, baby. I wouldn't exchange my home version, to be enjoyed on my 42" LCD TV, for any crummy arcade machine. Seriously! And so, just a couple more weeks of waiting. 17 freakin' days. Maybe I'll play the past Tekkens again, just to pass the time. Or something. The hardest wait is the shortest, but man, it's gonna be sweet when I finally get this... my first review again in years, I think. Halloween is gonna be like my birthday and Christmas put together. WAHAHA!!
