Invincible Tiger The Legend of Han Tao is an upcoming beat ‘em up game for XBLA and PSN. The game has cartoony visuals and a ‘70s kung fu flick style to it.

Invincible Tiger is also the first console game to be in 3D. This isn’t your lame plastic red and blue 3D visuals. The visuals really jump out at you when you wear the 3D glasses. Hit the break for more on Invincible Tiger.

Developer: Blitz Games Studios
Publisher: Namco Bandai
To be released: TBA

The story sees the main character, Han Tao, as he goes on a quest to reclaim the Star of Destiny that was stolen by evil forces. My hands-on time with the game was short, but I fought against a wide variety of enemies and liked how fast paced the action was.

The 3D visuals were extremely impressive. In one of the levels, Cherry Blossoms petals were blowing about and you could have sworn the petals were really in the room with you. You can play the game in 2D as well so you don’t have to worry about being forced to buy and extra accessory.

With that stated though, I’ve to wonder what they’re going to do to promote the 3D glasses. The game is a digital title so packing in the glasses with the game isn’t an option. The glasses also looked pretty costly.

There will be two-player co-op both local and on the web and the game is expected to be around eight hours or so. Check out the two gameplay videos below to see how the game looks in action.

Preview: Tekken 6 is ... well, Tekken screenshot

I’m not really much of a Tekken player, but I’ve always seen the series as Namco’s Lamborghini or Ferrari line of automobiles.

With every iteration, nothing much really changes except for the style, and each time a new one comes out the connoisseurs must have it. Tekken 6 is no different. Tekken players, like the rich people who buy new vehicles every year, will be clamoring to purchase Tekken 6 on day one.

Why? Because it’s Tekken, and there’s a number 6 attached to the end of it.

Developer: Namco Bandai
Publisher: Namco Bandai
To be released: October 27, 2009

Now, like the newest Ferrari or Lamborghini, the latest edition of Tekken will always be the slickest, fastest, and sleekest version of Tekken to date. But it’s still the same Tekken that you played back in the day. Even though you’ll have console specific content, forty playable characters, breakable environments, motion blur, deeper customization than the previous Tekkens, and even the new Rage Mode (attacks become stronger when your health drops below 10%!) – you’re still playing the exact same Tekken as before.

Not like that’s a bad thing, though, right? While Tekken 6 may just be more Tekken, and although Tekken 6 is the ’slickest, fastest, and sleekest version’ of Tekken to date; fans of the series already read the only two things about it that they needed to know for a purchase.

It’s Tekken, and there’s a number 6 attached to the end of it.
