Make Room for Aeon, Cervantes, Xiba, and Yoshimitsu!
Namco Bandai has now let gamers know that Aeon, Cervantes, Xiba and Yoshimitsu will be coming to Soul Calibur V. Cervantes and Yoshimitsu are series favorites and look very different this time around. Yoshimitsu has a new mask and Cervantes' spell from the evil sword Soul Blade has been broken, altering his appearance. Aeon is a new character, a lizardman with wings who can spit fire. Xiba looks like a staff-wielding character that's a cross between Kilik, Talim and Maxi.

An unfortunate misstep that won't soon be forgotten.
Out of every game I’ve played this year, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is without a doubt the biggest disappointment. For a series whose name automatically garners praise and adoration from the gaming community, this title is a blemish on its reputation. All of the passion and soul created by carefully weaving the ongoing plotline into evolving gameplay feels abandoned with Revelations. Without it, all that’s left is a game with a convoluted story and gameplay that is practically identical to Brotherhood.
As with other high profile fighting games, Soulcalibur V will get its own branded fighting stick.
