The update will release sometime friday or on Saturday, adding hardcore playlists, a search and destroy playlist and will increase the level cap to 24 which unlocks new perks and challenges. The update will also fix some game bugs and glitches. So, watch your head ... a World at War beta update is about to drop.

Get your kill on guys, the update is active

It seems when Namco Bandai told us Darth Vader and Yoda would remain trapped in their respective console domains, it was only true ... from a certain point of view. The company has shockingly confirmed that, due to "overwhelming fan response," those suspiciously blank character portraits in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Soulcalibur IV will soon be filled in by a downloadable Darth Vader or Yoda. Good job, fans, we're sure Namco would never have figured out how to make money like this on its own.

The proper Star Wars showdown will begin on October 23rd, provided you're willing to pay 400 and $5 for a hyperventilating throat crusher and his little green friend, respectively. And just so we can work in another tedious reference, we'll add: We pray Namco doesn't alter the deal any further. Good one, us!

Hello GamingAhead Community,

A little over a year ago we launched NGGC.net (Next Generation Gaming Community), since then this site has evolved a lot and into what you see today.

If you would like to look to see what our site looked before the design change click here.

In the six months GamingAhead has existed we have grown a lot and we would like to thank you, the members, for helping us reach this milestone.

Today, I would like to let you know that I will be away from Gaming Ahead for 4 months. I'll have too much going on to actively give my 100% commitment during this time, so I feel the best thing for the site is to step aside for the time being (last year of college, work, and friends). Thank you for giving GamingAhead a chance and letting it mold into what it is today.

Now a few of the staff members would like to share how they heard of GamingAhead/NGGC and what to expect in the future.
