It's not the first time that two rival fighting game families have come together in a controversial, unexpected marriage. But when Capcom and SNK ran away together a decade ago, at least the two parties lived on the same side of town: 2D, sprite-based fighters that shared DNA and - in the case of...

Street Fighter X Tekken is the latest game in Capcom's 21st-century fighter renaissance, and it looks set to continue the winning strea...

Large cast of spiffy badasses; Frantic blend of SF; MvC & Tekken; Absurd new combo possibilities

Frequent online lag issues; Single-player boring as usual; DLC mania; no Xbox 360 extras at launch

And that's all you get, really. I have to say the Collector's Edition of Soul Calibur V was better than this. This one could've used a soundtrack or a better artbook or something. Oh well.

It's overall great. Just the downsizing really hurt it for me.

Finally a wired ps3 fightpad; Raised d-pad and buttons, better shoulder button response

They shrunk this way too much!!! Not everyone has japan sized hands; This feels so uncomfortable; My hands are practically overlapping; I don't know what they were thinking when they decided to shrink the original controllers.

All things considered though, what you get in Street Fighter X Tekken is enough to keep fighting game fans satisfied for months. Any gamers looking to step into the fighting game arena should also check it out, as it is about as player-friendly as a Capcom fighting game is going to get.

Easy mechanics; all-star cast; multiplayer is fantastic; slick presentation
