X-Men Arcade

The X-Men Arcade game is a 6-player beat-em up. It's been heralded as one of, if not the best arcade beat-em up all of time. It's been a dream of many fans and gamers alike that this game would be brought to home consoles, and over past few hours, that has become a reality on PSN and XBLA.

You can play with up to 6 players, with either the US or Japanese version, in four player or six player cabinet setup, and choose your own difficulty and level. In addition to that, there's online co-op. While the online experience can get pretty choppy sometimes, it's smooth for the most part.

The game's only about a half hour long, but considering getting all of the achievements will take you about 5 hours maximum to get, for ten bucks, it's a really sweet deal in my opinion considering what you get. It's a heck of a lot better than Turtles in Time Re-Shelled for the same price and that's a remake, not a traditional port, and lacks the original music. The voice tracks in this game have changed from the original, but the lines are still cheesy and awesome.

Overall, if you've been curious about it, it's worth the money. I doubt you'll be disappointed. Oh, and my favorite is Colossus. You'll see why when you play as him.
