GUILTY GEAR
Among the bunch of 2D fighting games, Guilty Gear is definitely different. It’s special for its anime-style graphics, unusual characters design, unique gameplay and its tribute to rock and heavy metal music. Though many players have complaint about its lack of options and particularly cheap bosses, Guilty Gear remains as a good choice if you are tired of those serious fighting games, especially for those hard metal music lovers.

SOULCALIBUR
Being the second game in the Soul series of fighting games, Soulcalibur broke Namco’s heart for it didn’t enjoy much success when first released, even though the first born child Soul Edge had a strong fanbase. But it soon picked up after it was ported to the Sega Dreamcast with improved graphics and new features, where it became an instant hit. Later Soulcalibur was ranked several times for being one of the “greatest” or “best”, which really made mama Namco proud.
