Makes me wish I had a PS3. Soulcalibur III was a bit of a disappointment to me, as it didn't seem as interesting to play as its awesome predecessor, Soulcalibur II. I can safely say, though, that this is the best game in the series. Everything just feels right. Plus, ...

Soulcalibur IV is the newest game of the perpetually misspelled, weapon based fighting series. The fighting is exactly what you would expect if you have played any other game in the series. It mainly focuses around blocking and parrying different weapons then exploiting your foe in their time of weakness. ...

Soul Calibur has been a series of fighters that started on the Sega Dreamcast. Following a perfect formula of combat with ridiculous looking swords that kick ass. The Soul Calibur franchise suffered a bit of a bump with Soul Calibur 2 and 3, and unfortunately that dip continues with Soul ...
