Those who have played the popular Bakugan card game might already have an idea of how gameplay works in Bakugan: Battle Brawlers, but the video game adds several new elements. The game is something of a cross between marbles and a live action card game. To get started, enter your name, select an attribute and create your character, then explore the world of Bakugan. If you can't wait to start battling your friends, then head straight to the Battle Arena. But, if you want to be the best, you have to learn the rules. The goal of Bakugan: Battle Brawlers is to win the game by collecting three "gate cards" by winning battles against opponents. As a starting move each player sets down one metallic gate card. Then you're ready to roll your Bakugan, which is in the form of a ball. After throwing you can steer your Bakugan around the environment so that it lands on the perfect card and collects powerups.
The aim is to get your Bakugan to stand on a card, and that happens when they roll over it slowly. Once the Bakugan stands, it will transform into Battle Mode. Now you're ready to battle. A battle begins when two Bakugan from different players stand on the same gate card. The gate card then opens and both Bakugan transform into Monster Mode and are ready to fight. The gate card can add "G-Power" to a Bakugan according to its world attribute (color) and can also change the rules of the battle. Players can boost their G-power by doing well in battle. The Bakugan with the highest G-power at the end of the battle wins. After battling, you can also use the points you have won to upgrade your Bakugan, acquire new in-game items, engage in Tag Team or Battle Royale action, or hone your skills by practicing your moves and strategy with Dan.

After Street Fighter scrapped its way back into our hearts in 2008 with the excellent 4, Capcom aims to continue the franchise's legacy eight years on with PS4 and PC sequel Street Fighter 5 in early 2016.Beta tests that let you sample the game's multiplayer before release, a roster of new and familiar races, and ways to play new updates without pulling out your credit card make this more than a Super-sized update. Here's everything you need to know.What is Street Fighter 5 and how do I play it?
Street Fighter 5 is coming in Spring 2016 exclusively to PS4 and PC. Developed in partnership with Sony, don't expect it on Xbox One anytime soon.Both PS4 and PC editions will have cross-platform multiplayer using 'Kagemusha' netcode - said to offer the most lag-free multiplayer in franchise history - which should result in a healthy unified community.The game will launch with 16 characters - 4 new, 12 returning - alongside a new approach to downloadable content for additional fighters and features post-release.Street Fighter 5 beta - when is it, and how do you access?Capcom will test the game's new servers and code with several invite-only betas between now and the game's Spring 2016 launch.A total of three phases are planned; one was completed in the summer of 2015, with another two on the way.The first - which featured six characters and three stages - didn't get off to a great start. The PS4-exclusive July test went offline within a day due to widespread connectivity issues, to then return successfully in August after some additional stress testing.
A second phase is coming to PS4 and PC from October 22 to October 25, and will offer cross-platform multiplayer so computer players can scrap those on consoles, and vice versa.How do you access the beta? It varies between platform and region. On PS4, North American users gain access through pre-ordering the game, while Europeans can request codes from the official website. On PC, beta access will be provided when pre-ordering through Steam.Who are the confirmed characters?14 of Street Fighter 5's day-one 16 fighters have been revealed, with plans for more after release.The most recognisable faces are from the Street Fighter 2 era; there's Cammy, Chun-Li, Vega, Zangief, M. Bison and of course, Ken and Ryu. Some lesser known characters returning to Street Fighter 5 are Alpha's Birdie and Charlie Nash, and from Alpha 3, Karin and Rainbow Mika. Who are the new challengers? There's Brazilian Laura, the dreadlocked Necalli, and Middle Eastern Rashid. Expect the fourth and final fighter to be named in the months leading up to release.
Returning characters will have both new and familiar move sets, as well as some makeovers. As you can see above, Ken looks different to his earlier appearances, while our favourite new look is the pre-order exclusive costume for Ryu, who is now rocking a handsome beard: How does it play differently? Street Fighter 5 has a few different fighting systems. V-Triggers are activated with a high punch and high kick once the V-Gauge is full, and it'll perform a special action depending on the character; Ryu will enter a powered-up state to dish out additional damage, while Nash will teleport quickly behind the opposing fighter, for example.Then there are V-Skills, which can be performed at any time with a mid-punch and mid-kick, which are again character dependant. For example, Chun-Li will leap across the screen to evade an attack, while M Bison can reflect projectiles back to his opponent.Finally, there's Critical Arts, super powerful moves that require a full EX Gauge and a button combination unique to each character - usually two quarter circles then a punch or kick - to pull off.
