The King of Fighters XIII - beat Arcade mode on default difficulty. The final two bosses are really hard, classic SNK Boss stuff here! This is a really fantastic game, which really should have gotten more recognition than it did for its outstanding graphics and great, classic KOF gameplay. Will this be SNK's last fully 2d-animated game? If so, they sure went out on top, at least... incredible game. I have played it before on PC, but now that I finally got an X360 hard drive (um, yeah, I didn't have one until yesterday; only a year and a half after getting the system, I know... a few games fit in that 4GB flash space, but not full retail ones like this. It's great to finally have one.), I can play this on X360 too (I do also have the PC version). It's really good. I hope SNK makes good games again at some point.

Megatudo 2096 (beat on Normal) - This is a decent Japan-only 3d fighting game. It's got okay graphics, gameplay that's very heavy on circle-strafing around arenas while shooting at the enemy, ranged and melee weapons for each character, special moves, and more! Oh, and giant robots, of course. The game has issues, but it's fun stuff, well worth a look.
