Posted 16 hours ago

Fighting games are a dime a dozen. For every Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, there’s a bushel full of others like Tekken, Virtua FIghter, Dead or Alive, and many, many more.

They are rabid, with a list of expectations a mile long, and a deep understanding for what separates a championship fighting game from the rest of the mediocre pack. I don’t know which is more daunting;... More >>

Gamers really dislike paying extra to unlock something that they’ve already purchased. Many of us think that when a game is made and released, anything that is complete on the disc should be available from the time of purchase.
