Ever since the TMNT remake was released, beat-em-ups have been getting a lot of undeserved flack. Brawlers have a lot more gameplay depth than most people think.

For those interested, here is a video of the DJ Max TECHNIKA machine that Jared talks about. It's really awesome. In this video you can see some guy playing the machine. It gives you a good impression of the gameplay:

And here's another one which is a bit more audible, but isn't played as well as the first video:

Some do. But TMNT:RS doesn't. I love me some Streets of Rage 2; it's still challenging.

I just wanted to comment about the conversation on Games on Demand such as Bioshock on the 360.

There are quite a few gamers who don't live close to stores that they can pickup certain games. I know I have a friend whom, before he moved, had to drive 45 minutes to get to any store that sold games. Thats really inconvenient to have to drive an hour and a half (round trip) for a game, so assuming some people hadn't had a chance (or forgot ) to pickup certain games that are available digitally, thats very convenient for those particular gamers.

@tieegg:
You're absolutely right. Though the Games on Demand feature may not appeal to everyone, myself included, who could just as well go out and try to find the game at a lower price point, to other people who may not be close to a retail store that sells games, it is a major convenience. I have a friend who lives in a town of about...several hundred people, and is not close to any retail outlets that wouldn't be a one hour drive away. And this new feature will definitely serve as a great convenince to him.

Probably be up later so they could include the GC09 happenings. At least I hope it is.
