When we last took a good look at Born Ready Games' space/mech combat title Strike Suit Zero, it was looking intriguing. A successful Kickstarter campaign later, the game is now in a closed beta and will be released towards the end of January.  How has it improved in these few months of development and how can the feedback of the beta make it even better?

Launching just seven months ago on consoles, it seems that Street Fighter X Tekken never really caught on in the fighting game community. Some would argue this was a result of the quality of the game itself, but a bit of cont...
