It's been fifteen years since SNK broke out The King of Fighters series, but only now does their star franchise come to the Xbox 360 and PS3 via King of Fighters XII. King of Fighters XII includes online play, twenty-two hand drawn characters, and new additions to the core gameplay, but does it deserve your hard earned gaming dollar? Let's take a closer look, shall we?

SNK Playmore and Ignition have a lot of fighter fans buzzing about their upcoming King of Fighters XII release, due sometime this summer. To help hold over fans of the fifteen year old series, King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match was recently released on the PS2.

SNK's Metal Slug series has seen years of successful sequels and releases on platforms ranging from Arcade to Wii. Now, SNK is bringing Metal Slug to the Nintendo DS in the form of Metal Slug 7. Not available on any other platform at this time, Metal Slug 7 offers players more of the intense platforming action we've come to know and love from the series.
