Street Fighter IV iPhone Hands-on Impressions

Released tonight at GDC 2010, the iPhone version of Street Fighter IV is extremely impressive.

The game features 8 fighters: Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, Abel, and M. Bison. The fighters can be used for head-to-head multiplayer over Bluetooth or for solo play modes including Dojo mode, which challenges the player to complete increasingly difficult trials while teaching the basics of the port.

I was as skeptic as anyone else, but I'm happy to report that this is faithful port of the full-sized game, minus the characters and modes. Yes, complex combos and moves can be pulled off after a bit of practice. After about 15 minutes, I was able to execute Ryu's signature combo from Street Fighter IV: the shoryuken focus attack dash cancel into his ultra combo.

The game utilizes some shortcuts to assist with special moves. A dedicated on-screen button for specials h...

Gov. Pat Quinn budget proposal: Borrow $4.7 billion

SPRINGFIELD -- Gov. Pat Quinn on Tuesday unveiled a caustic budget plan that would borrow billions of dollars to stay afloat and push even more debt down the road, hoping to persuade leery lawmakers to instead raise taxes in an election year.

Quinn aides warned the plan would cost some 13,000 teachers and staff their jobs, cut off poor seniors from help in paying costly prescriptions and shut down some health care programs for the indigent. But even after about $2 billion in cuts, the state would still be $11 billion in the hole.

The administration's warnings served as the precursor for the Democratic governor's Wednesday budget address before a joint session of lawmakers who want to wrap up their business in two months so they can focus on their re-election.

Quinn is expected to restate the unsuccessful call he made last year for higher taxes.

But the political dynamics for a tax increase have grown onl...

Hakan Oils Up For Super Street Fighter IV [Street Fighter]

While everyone pretty much knew he was coming, it's still nice to see Capcom take the wraps off Super Street Fighter IV's final new character Hakan with a couple of trailers.

There's a gameplay trailer, above, and a character trailer below. Amazing how, even in these lo-fi web clips, he's already so oily.

Super Street Fighter IV will be out at the end of April, and will be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

4 coyotes trapped and killed near Wheaton

City officials in Wheaton say the west suburb's attempt to rid itself of predatory coyotes is off to a successful start.

Authorities say four coyotes were captured near Wheaton and killed on Monday -- the same day the city announced it had hired a trapper to get rid of them.

Officials said Tuesday professional trapper Rob Erickson caught the coyotes in an unincorporated area near the Chicago Golf Club. That is close to the neighborhoods where a string of deadly coyote attacks on pets have occurred in recent months.

But Wheaton Councilman John Prendiville, who voted against hiring a trapper, says he believes educating the public -- not killing coyotes -- is the way to handle the problem.

Tenney gets death penalty in Aurora slaying

edwardtenney.jpgEighteen years have passed since Sharon Weber found her missing husband, Jerry, in an Aurora farm field, dead from four gunshot wounds in the head.

On Tuesday she learned that Edward Tenney, a career criminal already serving two life sentences for two other murders, was sentenced to death by a DuPage County jury for her husband's slaying. The jury returned the verdict after deliberations that lasted less than three hours and included a lunch break.

"I've been living with this for so many years," Weber said from her home in another Midwestern state where she moved to raise her sons. "I can't believe it's here, and it's what we all wanted.

"I miss my husband. I wish that day never happened," she said. "It was completely senseless. (Tenney) had no business walking the streets. He sho...
