Gaming News: The Physics of "Soul Calibur IV" Old Video Game Habits

Sure, booth babes have been on the decline in the video game universe in recent years, but old habits with regards to "the ladies" die hard. In case you haven't noticed, the dominant demographic in hardcore gaming remains males young enough to dream about exotic women in exotic garb and those of us old enough to remember the same thing, even if that memory is selective. Youth will be served, but in the case of the latter, the old-timers that is, these memories are channeled into other things, like examining the physics and the immortal Next-Gen question of who has the more eye-popping, if unrealistic graphics, Xbox 360 or PS3:


The two versions look more or less the same to me, although the 360 looks brighter, but that's just the video. Which has better physics? Who cares. Both feature enough bounce to challenge any of the lithe ladies of DOA and to keep the young and young at heart glued to their consoles. Yeah I don't think that demographic is pretty well set.
