Some Street Fighter IV News Just In From Our Friends At THQ & CAPCOM

1: OXCGN has a Street Fighter IV online free-for-all in May.

OXCGN has managed to secure TWO Playdates in May. Number 1 is May 1st with Atari’s The Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena, and the second is a very Special OXCGN & Publishers Playdate on May 22nd involving THQ Australia.

These OXCGN/Publisher Playdates are a new way OXCGN is looking at getting both publishers and gamers together in a one-on-one gaming situation.

Publishers are real people remember, and they do play games just like you.

THQ Australia will be the Co-Players alongside OXCGN on Friday, May 22nd at the usual time of 8pm – 11pm (or later) when Team OXCGN & THQ take on all challengers.

THQ Australia will have two people joining up with Team OXCGN to take on challengers with Street Fighter IV on Friday evening, May 22nd 8pm – 11pm AEST (it may go later of course) over XboxLIVE via Xbox.com.au’s Official Playdate Events.

THQ will be supplying some great prizes for the evening so make sure that you hit up some of OXCGN’s team members to be included. More specific details will follow.

To join in on the fun, simply hit up a Friends Invitation to the following Team OXCGN members:
