Street Fighter IV (Xbox 360)

Street Fighter IV-Is this one big Hadouken? Let's not waste any time-Street Fighter is probably the biggest fighting franchise to date. It might not have scored a perfect 10 like Soul Calibur did on Gamespot, but more people still play the arcade versions today. It's been a while since Street Fighter IV, the first entry in the franchise in about a decade, which is about as long as it took to Fallout 3 to follow after its predecessors. There have been many changes since then, with fighting franchises adding new moves whether it was Mortal Kombat with its over-the-top gore, or Tekken with its flashy graphics and cool roster-things have changed since the last ...  Read the complete review

The animation is integral to the games visual style and it is fast, fluid, and doesn't fail to impress. Whereas Tekken and Soul Calibur ...  Read the complete review

Street Fighter 2, as I'm sure you all know, was a massive hit back in the 90's. Every kid I knew liked Street Fighter, it was just a universal thing, you liked games you liked Street Fighter.
