You’ve probably heard about this remake. Let me just tell you that it’s as awesome as people are saying. This game lets you play as all the characters from all three Genesis Streets of Rage games, through all the levels… and it’s all wrapped up in a brand new adventure.
The game combines graphics from the original games with new artwork and effects (the reflections and shadows are a nice touch), and it fits together quite well. The music consists of tweaked out versions of the original soundtrack. There are also loads of nifty features like co-op with an AI partner, unlockable modes, a movie room, and player profiles.
Just download the damn thing already. And post links to mirrors or torrents in the comments. The game is ~72 megs and the site’s already gone down at least once.
P.S. I love that screenshot. Zan punching a clown, with blood spurting out and the kangaroo hopping around. Only in video games!

Name’s Lorne, I’m a new editor. Fear my wrath! Of hell! Well, not hell… Just wrath.
Pardon me if this was posted about before (Or I screwed up the categories, since I don’t get that AT ALL).
My favorite indie game EVER is getting a sequel. That would be Lugaru... 2. 2 is the sequel, I’m not talking Lugaru 3, here. That would be, well, totally awesome, but no.
If you haven’t played the first, click the link above and download the demo, this moment (Or read the description first).

I’m ashamed to say that until recently, I had never heard of Super Cosplay War Ultra. It’s arguably the best free fighting game out there. The abundant and sometimes obscure references a source of endless amusement. The quirky characters and their transformations are so awesomely impressive that, when describing this game, it’s not a grammatical error to use redundancy. The experience of watching Totoro beat the heck out of little Chobits-like characters in a “Battle Royale” stand-off is just sublime.
As for the picture above, I think it’s just another testament the game’s greatness.
You can download the game from the above link or from this link. The password to unzip the game is “http://www.fkdigital.net”.

toribash is an ancient game of ragdoll physics-based combat.
rather than using a keyframe-based system like most 2D fighting games, the fighters in toribash are constructed of lots of joints that can all be tweaked individually. for example, to deliver a kick you need to contract your knee, extend your ankle, contract your hip, and then finally re-extend your knee to deliver the blow.
it’s rather complicated! but that’s why it’s turn-based. and the complex physics means a good player can do things like this. it can take a while for new players to learn, though—a good starting point is the tutorial movies on the game’s homepage. the official forums, too, are full of replays to study.
when you’ve mastered landing on your feet, you’ll probably want to attempt online play. the main servers are pretty high-traffic, but fun-motion (who reviewed the game recently) has set up a few more servers, with and without disqualification (when the fighter’s body touches the floor).
alternate title for this post was “the real rag-doll kung fu”.

Takase’s web site has moved. Latest news about Dot Fighters can be found at his blog, while the ArmJoe download is available from this page.
Don’t forget to update your bookmarks. Click here for the Dot Fighters video preview at T-Lab.
Dot Fighters was previously mentioned on TIGSource on two separate occasions and GameSetWatch as well, so I suppose the anticipation for this game is pretty high.

i’ve already mentioned dot fighters, the latest project of ArmJoe developer takase. well, the official site just launched, featuring lots of screenshots and a new video.
i’m excited about this one, not just because of its pretty pixels but also because of its seeming minimalism: every fighting game archetype compressed into four characters, not including the boss (whom you may catch a glimpse of if you watch that most recent video). i’m curious to see how this game turns out!
