I believe this will be the game that really drives PSP sales this quarter because this is a must have title. In fact it's my opinion that this is certainly one of the best 'Tekken' titles to date and it's on your PSP. The latest release of 'Tekken: Dark Resurrection' by Namco Bandai Games is a fantastic port from its arcade predecessor for your PlayStation Portable (PSP) and by no means is inferior to its older brothers. With the exception of 'Tekken Advance' for GameBoy Advanced, you would have to play 'Tekken' on your PSOne or PS II. Being able to move more freely in a true 3D environment and linking special attacks during certain moves that uses the 3D environment, like side stepping, was truly phenomenal. The graphics and technical advancements are always apparent with each of the seven iterations of the franchise. While standard fighters used buttons to correspond to the strength of attack, 'Tekken' targeted a body part to each button allowing the player to intuitively execute combos and special attacks. One of the things that set 'Tekken' apart from its competitors was the button to execution relationship. It was one of the earliest 3D fighter (soon to be a franchise) games, next to 'Virtua Fighter,' that took the one-on-one battle system in a different direction from the standard 2D fighters.įor me, it was this game that really made me appreciate 3D fighting and, of course, my funky new PSOne. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past decade, everyone knows about this game. But nothing takes the cake more than when Namco (now Namco Bandai Games America Inc.) released 'Tekken' for Sony's PlayStation One system.

The San Francisco 49ers became the first team to win five Super Bowls after defeating the Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX.
