Like beating up on the characters from your fond childhood fairytales? How about getting free stuff?

If you’re part of that rare, free-stuff-loving demographic, Playlogic is finally catering to you! In the next few weeks, folks who picked up their hack n’ slash fantasyland adventure for Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 will get their hands on some tasty free content, but – wait for it – there’s more!

Register on their website and they’ll give you another DLC for free. This DLC includes four new characters and three new PvP arenas, and is supposedly worth $15… not that it matters, since if you’ve got the game anyway, now you’ve got it for $0.

This offer is valid through the first 90 days of the game’s release.

If you’re a Street Fighter nut like me, you’re probably aware of the recently announced Super Street Fighter IV that’s coming to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.  And if you’re already aware of Super Street Fighter IV, you’re probably aware of the new warrior, Juri, who was specially designed for the South Korean audience.

In a recent interview with Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono, he explains that that the president of Capcom pointed out the lack of a South Korean fighter in the game, and rightfully so. There is a huge fighting game fan base in Korea and the addition of a Korean character may certainly draw them to Street Fighter.

But alas, there’s already grumbling among the Korean player base complaining of her design. Yes, she’s no May Lee, but at least she doesn’t look like Blanka. (I have nothing but love for Blanka by the way!) Over-the-top design is part of what makes Street Fighter, Street Fighter.

Best Korean Fighter Designed Ever

Personally, I don’t let the backgrounds of the fighters dictate my like or dislike for them. I’ll stick with Guile and wtfbbqpwn any noob who chooses their character based on their nationality.
