Why not Cloud Strife hacked into Smash Bros.
Brawl

Why not? Cloud Strife hacked into Smash Bros. Brawl screenshot

The two games that won't ever die come together through a little hackery. Cloud Strife, the spiky haired hero of Square Enix RPG Final Fantasy VII, has been inserted into Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Buster Sword and all. Cool idea, I guess, but the modders must have made sure Cloud had his Generic Materia equipped as it looks like Cloud is wearing a tight-fitting Janitor's worksuit. You can see him in action in the video above?

Me? I've got no opinion. I'll let a commenter from Game Videos do the work:

It's just a slightly modified Ike, and it really doesn't even look like Cloud. Frankly, I don't know why modders waste their time make such lame changes to the game. If you're going to go to all the effort to change the game, then actually do something good.

And, after being scolded by another commenter:

No crap I couldn't do it. That's hardly the point. The point is why bother wasting so much time on something that's this lame or half assed. There are plenty of things that I can do extremely well, but I don't waste my time and talents doing stupid things.

I love that I work on the internet.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 already exists on SNES

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 already exists on SNES screenshot

video details and more

You've no doubt already seen the video of an "officially" released Sonic 4 that's been floating around, but if you haven't, check it out. It seems Sega was a little too late to the part when it announced Sonic the Hedgehog 4. A sneaky "developer" by the name of Twin Eagles Group already made it ... for the SNES.

This not-quite-legally distributed game was a surprisingly expert hack of Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos. Since the game was already like a stripped-down Sonic title, it wasn't too much of a stretch to replace Speedy with Sonic and throw in some rings. Oh, and he rescues little Marios trapped in cages for some reason.

The sound effects are bizarre and they didn't change the music, so Sonic struts his stuff to digitized mariachi bands. Meanwhile, on the Game Boy, the hackers skipped Sonic 5 and went straight to Sonic 6! You can see a video of that after the jump. Man, Sega has some catching up to do.

Schedule for Dante's Inferno DLC revealed

Schedule for Dante's Inferno DLC revealed screenshot

When it comes to downloadable content and Dante's Inferno, Visceral and Electronic Arts aren't messing around. In fact, according to a slip that shipped inside the retail game box, they've got it planned through at least through April.

February
Soul Packs
Poet Costume
Animated Feature Film Costume
March
Prequel Level
April
New In-Game Abilities
Trials of St. Lucia

The prequel level refers to the "Dark Forest," which PlayStation 3 owners can get for free (via a redeemable code found inside the game box). According to the description, it "includes a new costume, relic, and prequel level featuring two new enemies, an expanded storyline, and more than 30 minutes of new gameplay!"

"Trials of St. Lucia" is the biggie, though -- a full challenge mode expansion that will allow players to not only design their own challenges, but to fight through them with a second player who will control a second player, the female St. Lucia. Created levels can also be shared and download.

Dante's Inferno is out today, and if you're curious as to how it is, be sure to check out our review.
