Street Fighter was far from the first fighting game, but its second incarnation is perhaps the most memorable and addictive one ever made.

With excellent and exciting graphics, varied characters and cool special moves, Street Fighter 2 blew the opposition away.

This title set the benchmark for every game in the genre released from that day on. And soon it will be back in more than one way, with Street Fighter 4 due for release and a new live-action movie in the works. And the original is still available, on Xbox Live.
