Summary

A collection such as this can only be as strong as the lineup of games. In this Fighting Collection we have the best game ever made which to the uninformed is Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, so it’s worth buying for that and the bonus is it comes with another 10 odd games! But seriously, the collection is a wonderful set of not only great games from yesteryear but also adds a lot of games that we couldn’t play due to being Japan only. Add in the museum with all the soundtracks and art you could want. I will have this permanently installed on my PlayStation as it just got a bit of everything.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
