While the original Streets of Rage always stood in the shadow of Capcom's genre-defining Final Fight, Sega's homegrown beat-'em-up series really came into its own with Streets of Rage 2. Released two years after the original, Streets of Rage 2 offered markedly refined gameplay and improved presentation, both technically and stylistically. The game was released on the Wii Virtual Console earlier this year, and now it's on Xbox Live Arcade with a few new bells and whistles...

Review: Wario (Mario) Smooth Moves (Wii) FunnyGames, February 27, 2007You've got Mario Kart, Mario Party, Super Smash Brothers and a variety of other games where Mario, Zelda and friends make appearances.

Now, Splash Damage is getting their chance to make their own multiplayer game that's not just intended to be tacked onto something else. Enemy Territory:
Quake Wars combines Splash Damage's unique brand of FPS action with the sci-fi world of
Quake to make something that's truly unique. The team at Splash Damage is still largely a bunch of modmakers without true retail game experience.
