I feel like Shaq Fu gets a terrible rap. Yes, it's clunky, slow, the characters are tiny, the music is terrible... but let's face it, it's far from the worst fighter out there, and Hell, it really isn't even bad enough to warrant inclusion on general "worst games ever" lists. However, its hatred is some sort of worldwide memetic standard, which leads me to believe that there's more "follow the leader" tactics at…
Mortal Kombat has had its ups and downs as a series - mostly downs, unfortunately, but it's always been a lot of ridiculous fun, especially when I was younger.

Although most fans cite SCII as their favorite in the series, mine is III. SCIV is very close to its direct predecessor in many terms, but enough has changed to dip the quality a bit. Let's start with the two things I liked most about SCIII - lack of random guest…

The TMNT, along with my father's Bruce Lee movies, guided me to find my lifelong interest in the martial arts. TMNT fighting games haven't always been amazing, but at least they're all playable. The Super NES version of Tournament Fighters…
