Before I get into my review, I must tell you I’ve never been a big fan of fighting games. The only reason I ever played “Super Street Fighter II” or even “Mortal Kombat” was because one of my best friends at the time had both games, we always hung out at his house, and it was all he ever wanted to play.

Let me know (by posting a comment to this article) if you notice any problems of which I may be unaware.
When I was younger, I could have sworn every Dunkin Donuts was open 24 hours a day. Everyone remembers those commercials with Fred the Baker talking about how it was always “time to make the donuts.” Daytime, nighttime, always making the donuts. But lately, it seems being open 24/7 is more the exception than the rule. That sucks and here’s why. »»More
