The Skinny: Ha-DOOOO-ken!

The Good: The sights. The sounds. The…smells. That's right, we actually ventured out to the arcade to play the latest incarnation of Street Fighter. The graphics have been upped with anime-like, cel-shaded visuals, and there are new moves to add to your well-practiced arsenal. There are also four new fighters.

The Bad: There will obviously be more depth to the game when it arrives on the 360 and PS3 next year, but, hey, it's Street Fighter—how much more do you need? If you can wait it out, do. Otherwise, go find an arcade and get your fix ASAP.

Next! My hour-long wait to play the game at the arcade ended with my opponent pulling off an improbable comeback. Hate you. And you're fat.
