Review: Shacknews
_______________
Fighting games can arguably be considered one of the defining genres for consoles and arcades both. Reaching across platforms, they would help to define ass kicking for a growing generation of gamers, sparking tournaments where the only blood spilled was from the noses of those stressed out that they had lost to someone just starting grade school. But while 2D fighters would dominate digital rings during the early 90's thanks to titles such as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, Sega's Virtua Fighter would spark a 3D revolution that would be followed by Tekken, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, Wargods, and countless others. With the fifth iteration, Sega has demonstrated that while it may not be as flashy as its competitors or offer much in the way of extras, it is still very much faithful to the roots that it has refined in the last thirteen years.
