Tekken 5



I got to see this gem in action for the first time a couple of days ago. If you liked the fast paced action of Tekken Tag Tournament, then you'll love T-5. This game not only leaves Tekken 4 in it's own lame universe but it boasts some of the most delicious arcade graphics ever. I had a hard time blinking. It was that beautiful. Oh, yes! I felt like I was seeing Virtual Fighter or Gran Turismo for the first time.

Probably, the coolest feature of the Tekken 5 machine was a customizable character for a mere $5. well, that's not so cool but, you get a nifty card to carry your character data and it keeps a ranking of how well you are doing. Also, you can plug a PS2 controller into the machine! Bonkers

Namco (the company that brought us Pac-man) kinda went all out on this baby. Bow down.
