Awesome find and scores. 36/40, glad to see Famitsu giving a great score to a great game.
29/40 Guilty Gear 2 Overture? I was expecting a higher score. Maybe it's indeed not as good as I had hope (Love the 2D ones).

Also, what is that Apocalypse: Desire Next!!??? Anyone know about this one?

[Skerj]

Man GG2 got a crazy score, it still looks like Devil May Cry in the GG world to me so I think I'll be picking it up anyway. I really wish the 360 was region free.

HD gameplay montage is attached, the game looks soooooo dope I hope it makes it stateside. It reminds me of Bujingai on PS2 with better combat.

tbh gulty gear series was not to great as the king of fighters series BU THE JAP fighter i wana se is RIVAL SHCOOLS NEXT GEN that was a great game

[Skerj]

I think that's the only time we've ever agreed on something, Rival Schools/2/Project Justice is still my favorite 3d fighter. I somehow don't think Capcom will revive it though. But this Guilty Gear isn't a fighting game, it's more an action adventure that looked pretty damn cool in the trailers.

[allforcalisto]

for once i actually agree with you.

rival schools was another level of awesome, other games seldom get close to.
its weird that i just put up a rival schools wallpaper on my desktop recently.

a next gen rival schools is really necessary. there's far too many serious games out there.

[Marceles]

Yeah Rival Schools was really cool. It totally made me forget about the Street Fighter EX series. The tag-team fighting, mini-games, and story life mode was really cool (because of Tiffany lol). The closest 3D fighter to being like Marvel Vs. Capcom.

[The Real Joker]

Wow! I had no idea that there were that many terrible DS games. I mean come on: Gouma Reifu Den Izuna Ni???? Seriously.

Apocalypse: Desire Next (Xbox 360, Idea Factory): 6 / 5 / 4 / 6 - (21/40)
