SWTOR: What Can I Do at Level 50? SWTOR: What Can I Do at Level 50?

It's been over a month since the launch of BioWare's stellar (pun totally intended) MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic. While the hardcore may have reached the game's level 50 cap weeks ago, many more players are just now nearing the limit.

Netflix Ditches Plans for Game Rentals Netflix Ditches Plans for Game Rentals

Netflix bewildered nearly everyone last year when it announced it would separate its streaming and DVD-by-mail services into distinct brands. There was a piece of good news in all of it, and that was Netflix's intention to add game rentals to the newly revealed Qwikster. But between the negative backlash and confusion generated through this plan, which looked to be an attempt to move away from the DVD-by-mail business it made its name on, plans for Qwikster were dropped and the prospect of game rentals was called into question.

As a part of Netflix's Q4 earnings report conference call, CEO Reed Hastings stated there are "no plans" to begin offering videogames in addition to DVDs and Blu-rays, Engadget reports. It's an understandable decision as the company's mailing service is clearly in decline and its future lies with streaming content. So barring any interest in acquiring a company like OnLive or Gaikai (or developing its own technology) games and Netflix won't have anything to do with one another in the near future. And it's a very unlikely scenario to change as Netflix is faced with enough problems in acquiring streaming video content; it doesn't want to pay more money on a per-user basis in licensing fees but wants to continue growing its user base. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter is among those who are skeptical such a scenario is possible.

You may have noticed us spamming the site with games of 2012 lists for the past week. Or you may not have been paying attention. But we've been spending a lot of time thinking about the future, and as the final entry in that bag of fun, everyone around here picked their most anticipated game for the year ahead. Then we made a video!

Then we went all crazy and embedded that video into this news story so you guys could make your own picks easily below. If you feel like it!

Ahead of the game's release in March, Capcom has released a variety of new Street Fighter X Tekken content today and confirmed the identity of six more fighters. But it's a short teaser in one of the new trailers that is the most noteworthy bit from what the company had to show today.

The newly-announced characters include three from either side: Street Fighter provides Balrog, Vega, and Juri, while Tekken offers up Paul, Law, and Xiaoyu. It's nothing terribly unexpected, and the surprise guest characters remain Cole from Infamous, plus Toro and Kuro.
