A good hack 'n' slash can be great fun. The likes of Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden and God of War have taken the foundations laid down by classics such as Double Dragon and jazzed up the formula and presentation for a new generation. Fairytale Fights is a simplistic take on the genre, taking something that everyone knows (fairytale characters), giving them weapons, making them psychotic killers and throwing in a truck load of blood. It's an idea that has obvious shock and tongue-in-cheek humour value, but the implementation is so basic, and the gameplay so repetitive, that this is one story that should have remained unwritten.
For co-op lovers, these games are all must-have experiences that will remind you of the glory days of gaming.

I have A LOT of games. They traverse all the generations that have been, and there are some gems in there that I’ve yet to play. Fairytale Fights happened to be one of those, I popped it into my Xbox 360 recently at the behest of a friend, and the first thing that entered my mind was “Da fuq am I playing?”
There's so many games out there that make you say this, I can't wait to find more of them!
