Abstract: At the price point of $60, The King of Fighters XII is a hard sell to anyone outside of the fanbase. Renting or borrowing is the best entry point for the series as a blind purchase may lead to one angry gamer.
Abstract: Just because 2009 is the “year of the fighter,” it doesn’t mean that every fighting game released in 2009 will live up to expectations. In a year where we’ve been blown away by the airtight gameplay and wonderfully stylized visuals of Street Fighter I...
Abstract: The King of Fighters franchise seems to be going through tough times in recent years. Their move to 3D didnt work out so well, and most players seem content to stick with the classics from back in the late 90s. SNK keeps punching out new ones, though...

It looks pretty.
Practically unplayable online; woefully basic in the face of some very strong competition.
Abstract: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The old Dickens passage might never have applied so well to a videogame as it does the release of SNK Playmore and Ignition Entertainment's KOF XII. It comes to us hot on the heels of the fantastic ...
