Although, I have to admit once I had a chance to play the arcade version again today I was completely destroyed. Apparently, you can forget how to play – mind you I wasn’t the greatest player but, I could hold my own (ah, memories – and lots of quarters). I was always very sad that the arcade I work at many years ago did not have SSF2T as it was a few years after it’s release and the owner always thought that Soul Calibur was a better draw. So, with this retro goodness it was good to hear that Super Puzzle Fighter would also be receiving a fresh coat of paint and released on Xbox Live Arcade. These releases may very well lead to my first purchases from the Live Arcade. Which is a difficult thing to accomplish since as far as I’m concerned everything up there is over priced – also, I don’t believe in the whole Live points (or whatever they are called) system – just charge me five bucks and be done with it!

Whatever – I’ve got to figure out some time in my schedule where I can fit in some training…

All in all the 360 is great!  The only thing that I can seem to get over is the damn Live Arcade store.  I haven’t been able to bring myself to buy anything off of it.  The whole points thing just kills it for me – not to mention that I already own many of the retro games.  I don’t get achievements from them but hey they are free.  I’m going to attempt to add some points to my account again today…
