"A monumental Street Fighter Alpha 3 with unique stylistic depth. Precise controls, three varied ism systems and a cult cast. A Capcom 2D versus peak to savor."
"SF2 Turbo/Super SF2/Super SF2 Turbo compilation with excellent emulation. The three pillars of the SF2 era gathered together. Exceptional content value for saga fans. The original SF2 Turbo remains formidably fun. An absolute reference."
"Plus version of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core with additional improvements. Story mode content is enriched and some characters receive adjustments. The most complete and accomplished version of the Guilty Gear series on PS2, the preferred choice for a maximal experience."
"Mortal Kombat 11 pairs theatrical gore with a fighting system of surgical precision. The Fatalities stay gleefully obscene, but it's the offensive and defensive meter mechanics that hold serious players. On Switch it runs better than anyone feared."
"A retro beat-em-up that wears its heritage with wild energy. Snappy fights, polished animation, branching paths, and tons of unlockables reward the persistent. Three-player co-op is a blast, and the difficulty stays tough but fair throughout the run."
"The King of Fighters XIII is one of the best 2D fighting games on PS3. Sublime hand-drawn HD sprites, ultra-technical HD Drive and Neomax gameplay, complete roster. An absolute masterpiece of 2D fighting."
"Reload version of Guilty Gear XX with improved balancing over the original. The original roster is maintained with the same fundamental mechanics. For players wanting the transitional version between original XX and Accent Core in the competitive lineage."
"Skullgirls 2nd Encore is a 2D fighter of stunning animation fluidity, lovingly hand-drawn. Beneath its cartoon charm lurks a formidably technical system, with fine handling of infinite-combo prevention. Niche, but brilliantly executed."
"A Matching Service edition of Super Street Fighter II X faithful to the arcade cult. Precise controls, iconic cast and refined balance. Essential for golden age fans."
