Fight Night Knocks Out Tekken And Virtua Fighter
Its interesting that fighting games have evolved in such a tenuous way. Tecmos Dead or Alive series struggles to maintain content over sexual controversy. While Sega and Namco seem to vie for top-spots putting out streamlined fighters that take very little risks, but reap high rewards. I would count SNK and Midway in this fray, but nobody seems to care about KOF and MK anymore. EA, however, has capitalized where others have failed.
If youre really into fighting games but want something thats not so arcade-ish, youll notice that simulation fighting games come far and few when measured against shooters, racing titles and other arcade fighters. Fighting fans usually suffice to take what theyre handed and deal out mild criticism despite the fact that they know they deserve better.

One DoFus trailer coming right up
Our first impression of DoFus by Ankama studio (a french game developer) is that it looks like Ragnarok Online. The characters are cutesy and anime-ish and the movement looks to be pretty much the same. That is until you get to the part where the PvM (Player versus Monster) occurs. You will find yourself thinking, this looks like a Final Fantasy battle. The combat is turn based and looks to be working well.
But you should see all that for yourself with this video. More DoFus updates as they happen. Enjoy the video!
