Cover Story: This month's cover story is near and dear to my heart. And better yet, it's also incredibly timely. It's none other than Street Fighter IV, the fighting game sequel we've all been waiting for. This 22 page feature offers all the information you could possibly want when it comes to Street Fighter IV, from what each of the new moves do to why it's important to pay attention. What's more, this Hardcore Gamer Magazine issue teaches you how to perform all of the special moves. Throw in a cool interview, a retrospective and some useful information and you have a cover story worth checking out!

Reviews: This month Hardcore Gamer Magazine finally offers some real reviews. Unfortunately there are only two reviews, and neither of the games are the triple-A games you want to read about. Either way, you get reviews of Wii Music and Sonic Unleashed. That's right, Sonic Unleashed, the game that introduces us to a werewolf Sonic. Surely there has to be something worse than jumping the shark.

Special Features: Beyond the fabulous Street Fighter IV cover story, this month's HGM offers a really fun feature that looks at some of the most valuable retro games of the past thirty years. If you're a video game collector, this is one article you will definitely want to check out. This issue also has the regular sections, including a place for imports, arcade games, downloadable releases and the graveyard.
