    Capcom Classics Collection packs in a lot of value for a very small price tag. If you’re looking for arcade perfect versions of the original Street Fighter II games, it might be a bit disappointing. Overall though, it’s a great classic game collection, and an example of how one of these collections should be done. Read more

    With all of the praise, it is no wonder that for the second time Forza Motorsports 2 still manages to impress. This is a game that manages to bring everything together into one complete package that remains without many problems. This is one of those games that if you let it you could be playing until Christmas. The online capabilities of this game can really expand and make for an extremely enjoyable experience. Racing fans do I really need to say this? Go get this... Read more

    So what is the bottom line on Capcom Classics Collection ? Buy it, live it, enjoy it. This is where gaming started people, and with a cheap price of admission, plenty of history on each title, and some of Capcom’s better works all on one disk, there is no reason not to pick this title up. While Xbox Live scoreboards would have been nice and more of Capcom’s better known “classics” wouldn’t have hurt, there is always Capcom Classics Collection Volume II , which... Read more

    There’s no doubt it that Forza Motorsport 2 delivers the goods in a sweet package. Yes, it has flaws, but nothing that will turn you off because it has something for everyone. This game was designed for people who love cars and want a forum to associate with others who also love cars. It may not have the flair of the Sony Grand Turismo games in terms of style, but makes up for it in other areas, such as total customization, to balance things out. If you loved the... Read more

  2. Nogstalgia is good for some playing once a year, but that's it.

    This is a compilation of Capcom arcade games. I was pretty disappointed when I discovered it's not the home games like I grew up with this. The arcade games just lack real depth that the home versions had. This compilation might contain $5,000 worth of quarter eating fun, but not even the online leader boards will keep you coming back for more than nostalgia. A lot of the games feel very stale and clunky by today's standards. 1942 - An overhead shooter, blow up planes,... Read more
