It's easy to pick up n play and it's flash based so you don't have to download anything. Also it gives you codes for each small chapter so that you can continue from where you left if you have to close the browser. I hope you enjoy it Jo.

I really hope it becomes a good multiplayer experience where you are at someone's house instead of the arcades.

I hadn't really thought about it but I guess you have a point about the beat-em up being overtaken by the FPS, though that's not really a route I went down. The only other beat-em up I've played since, on a regular basis, is probably the Tekken series but Street Fighter is always going to feel like the original! Anyway, definitely looking forward to giving the new version a go.

But i am only really attached to games which i collect. Nowdays i just don't have the space for more books and cds so i am more open to have these in the form of files. But like you said, i can't imagine my home without books either just yet. I love the physical product be it a book, cd or games. But i am only really attached to games which i collect.

Maybe when the technology becomes a bit more available and cheaper they'll take off more but I think it's going to be a while before I would consider getting myself one. Even then, in the same way I still buy cds, I can't imagine not wanting to have books on my shelf!
