Looks like Blizzard is breaking into the fighting game genre, with Blizzard Outcasts: Vengeance of the Vanquished, watch out Capcom! Outcasts let you choose from a variety of heroes that didn’t get the spotlight in the past.

Down, but not defeated

They’re underdogs. Also-rans. Some, the punching bags for the so-called “good guys.” But now, their days of being pushed around are over; the misfits are taking control.

Choose your favorite Blizzard Outcast. Gear up. And get ready to kick some serious ass.

Of course since this is Blizzards first venture into fighting games it is safe to say there will be a few balance issues with the fighters at the start. But I am sure it will get sorted out by the third, maybe ninth patch.

But as amazing as the Battle Cruiser fighter might be and as tempting a thought of playing D. Cain. Gamon is the hero to watch for.

Harbingers of the Smackdown

They may not be the greatest heroes that ever lived. They may not be the strongest, the smartest, or the most capable combatants. But if there’s one thing they do know, it’s how to take a punch!

We can’t forget those amazing custom controllers made for competitive play. Blizzard took their game a step further and created a custom controller that will blow the mind off your opponent. And with a credit card swipe mechanism built in, your in-game purchases will be faster than ever.

Tell us what you think of the game, is it the next Street Fighter?
