Last time I checked, Friday was supposed to be the least stressful day of the work week. People dress down, take longer lunches and check out early. While that’s probably happening, my day has been anything but relaxing. I certainly won’t bore you with the details, but right now, I need something to release all of the frustration.
At this point, I think a fighting game will do the trick. There’s nothing like taking out my aggravation on a hapless computer opponent, pulverizing him or her with lighting fast combinations. Thankfully, there are quite a few brawlers to choose from across Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Here now, are the top five downloadable fighting games.

“As the latest mainline entry in the Fatal Fury series, GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES remains a stellar 2D fighter so let's enter the ring.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
One of the few Dreamcast games I bought. I made sure to snatch it up when I noticed it was on the Switch. I don't know what made this game resonate with me but I love it. I barely touch 2D fighters anymore unless it's to boot this gem up.
Soul Calibur IV launched worldwide 15 years ago, bringing with it the best performance of the series to date.
Hell no. It was the start of the downfall (SCV) of the series. Huge downstep from the giant SCIII
Used to love this series, probably my favorite 3D fighter, perhaps together with the now also dead Dead or Alive (2-3-4), but as with so many games in the fighting genre, their short-term greed (season passes) has made me lose all interest, sadly …
Loved Number 2 and 3( loved all the solo modes like chronicle of the sword ) so was super hyped when 4 came out but the lack of single player content was disappointing. Still love soul calibur to this day though
2 was definitely the golden era of Soul Calibur for me. I was a bit conflicted about it at times because there were 3 different versions (I liked the PS2 version for controls, I liked playing as Spawn the most, and I thought the addition of Link was really awesome). Even so, the single player content was outstanding. Easily the most fun I've had with a fighting game, followed closely by Tekken 5's single player modes
Everyone is trying the shared universe thing these days, but Marvel and Capcom were mashing up their most beloved characters decades ago. Perhaps their best crossover effort was Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, which was released on the PlayStation 2 & Xbox on Nov. 19, 2002, in North America. Previous releases took place in arcades and on Sega’s beloved but ill-fated Dreamcast console. Later releases came out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s digital storefronts.
Former employees of Backbone Entertainment have formed a new company called Digital Eclipse. On Twitter studio head Mike Mika confirmed they would love to help the fans. In addition to having ported MvC 2 before, the studio has worked with Disney on re-releases of the Disney Afternoon Collection, Aladdin and The Lion King. Legions of fans are waiting for Marvel vs. Capcom 2 to take them for one more ride.
Not a terrible list but SC4 does not count IMO. That is a current gen game, that was made DLC.
