NEW SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV CONFIRMED

Yes, Street Fighter Fans, it has been confirmed. Part four will be hitting the market this year, but with a new name, “Super Street Fighter IV”. There has also been talk of an improved online experience as well. Producer Yoshinori Ono says that every character has been changed slightly based on comments from both players. Which begs the question: why an all-new title, and not just a range of DLC? Ono says the changes are so extensive that they couldn’t just be tacked on, so a disc release was necessary. This hot game will be hitting store in Spring 2010 for the PS3 and 360. Check out the video below.

VILLA 3RD ANNUAL HOLIDAY CLASSIC

            On January 3, 2010 at St. Joe’s Hagan Arena, VILLA hosted our third annual basketball event.  This year we went bigger with the 4,000 seat arena at St. Joe’s University.  The venue change was definitely different because this wasn’t in the heart of the city anymore, but the fans definitely came out for this great event.  We had 4 great matchups between some of the East Coast’s best high school basketball teams, and saw a sneak preview of Jayvaughn Pinkston (from New York’s Bishop Loughlin), who will be playing for Villanova later this year.  If that wasn’t enough we had some great performances by Philly’s own Meek Mill, and the New Boyz.  Shout out to everyone that came through, and for those of you that missed it, you’ll just have to hear about it until next year’s event.  You can also watch the buzzer beater from the final game, Strawberry Mansion and North Catholic.  Click on the link below:

During the second season of “The Boondocks”, two episodes were banned without any official word from the network. According to reports, the banned episodes were heavily critical of BET.
