Classics That Made You Spend Your Last Pocket Money.

Once a upon a time we all found ourselves at the arcade, while still wearing our school uniform with a coin in hand waiting your turn to play your favorite fighter games.

These two games am about to talk about have stood the test of time, and have been remade for gamers who never got a hiding for going to the arcade in their school uniform.

1st up we check out the latest installment of Mortal Kombat.

I remember that I used to suck at the arcade version of Mortal Kombat, but thanks to the PS3 and Xbox 360 I'll be able to kick major ass at this game. Despite the fact that I sucked at it? That did not stop me from going to the arcade each and everyday after school to play and see my friends who were great at the game play it. This is the 9th installment of the game and offers stunning graphics, great game play and its one of those games you'll love to play with the boys and your girl.

So everyone has their favorite Mortal Kombat character? mine was Scorpion and his fatality move, where he knocks out your head and spinal cord. Some of your favorite characters like Raiden, Sub-Zero and Sonya to name a few are a part of the game. With new characters like Nightwolf, Smoke and Ermac that also come with their own Fatality moves and own victory poses. Goro does not feature in this version of the game but it features the legendary Kratos from God of War.

If you also love comic books? There's Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, where you can play as one of your favorite comic book hero's or one of the Mortal Kombat characters. Mortal Kombat retails for R350 and can be found at your nearest gaming store.  The game is also available on Xbox360

Next up we have Street Fighter vs Tekken

Everyone went crazy when Tekken came out on The Sony PlayStation back in the 90's, luckily I had a friend who had a PlayStation and we used to play everyday after school. Tekken was 1st released in 1994 and the series has grown stronger with every new release. Tekken was also available at the arcade for those kids who didn't have a PlayStation or friends with one. Street Fighter is a classic in the arcade circles and joins forces with Tekken on its latest release.

Honestly speaking there's not a lot to say about this game but that it rocks. All your favorite Street Fighter characters you've grown to love feature in this game. And yes you guessed it? All your the Tekken characters also feature. There are also special guest appearances from Pac-man and Mega-man.

 If you haven't played Mortal Kombat, Tekken and Street Fighter in a while, well there are tons of new characters that you need to familiarize yourself with. So if a couple of names look unfamiliar don't panic, just take your time and check them out. Tekken vs Street Fighter retails for R479 and is available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PS Vita.
