I hope all you Xbox 360 owning beat ‘em up fans will be
picking up your copies of Virtua Fighter 5 this weekend. I’ve got mine!

If anyone fancies a few rounds over the weekend, I’ll be online at different
times (in between shopping, eating and the X-Factor), so hunt me down. My
gamertag is “Mad Gerald”.

And if anyone manages to beat me in a humiliating manner (to
be honest, it’s not that difficult on account of me being a bit of a rubbish
gamer), I’ll raid the SEGA goodie cupboard and send you some freebies.

Fancy something for the weekend? You do? Good! Because a wicked demo of Virtua Fighter 5 is now available to download for the Xbox 360 via Marketplace.

The demo will give you a taste of both the offline VS. and arcade modes, allowing you to play as either Akira, Sarah, El Blaze or Eileen. And you can also choose from three different stages - “Arena” (El Blaze’s stage), “Deep Mountain” (Lei-Fei’s stage) and “Island” (Jeffry’s stage).

Virtua Fighter 5 is out now on the PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system, and the Xbox 360 version, which features an online VS. mode, is released across Europe on October 26th 2007.

Now, off you trot and get practicing as we’ll be online from the 26th gagging for a fight.
