The Sun writes: "The King Of Fighters games have always been in the shadow of their nemesis - Street Fighter
and with less memorable characters and not as many moves, rightly so.
It's KOF's 15th birthday, and makers, SNK have promised a 'rebirth' of the series, so will this 15-year-old pass or flunk it's exams?
The first sign of a bad game is in the presentation of the menu screens and KOF's look cheap, cheesy and 5 years out of date.
Considering the amount of time spent on some of the game's artwork, it looks like this part of the game has been hastily done..."

This reboot of sorts was joined by the likes of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and even Street Fighter IV on the very same arcade platform."
Celebrate 12/12/12 by playing a game that has something to do with the number 12. The story suggests a list of 12 games with 12 in them.
Wtf? 12/12/12 was yesterday, so why is this article being posted today?
I don't see the point of the article anyway, it's just a bunch of games with 12 in the title, most of them are crap too. Must have taken some real journalistic skills to come up with this one.
Jason Venter writes: "There are slow and powerful bruisers, tiny and agile schoolgirl types and everything in between. If you decide to spend the time that is required to master even a small portion of the more than 30 fighters, you’ll be busy for many hours. Some characters are less obviously gifted than others, but none of them seem to be useless. Even the diminutive Chin Gentsai, who employs the drunken master fighting style, is deceptively powerful once you learn how to put his hypnotic movements to use."
Not worth the current price tag but this is a definite pick up when it drops to 30.
