Bright Hub's David Sanchez defies "the man" and checks out the taboo fan-made Streets of Rage Remake. How awesome is this game? And why should you find a way to play it?
Streets of Rage is one of the most beloved franchises in gaming. Sega hasn't made a decent remake of this title yet, so the fans did it themselves. Now Sega is preventing it from being released. Check out the story to find out if you can still get it.
Seth from TV and Lust explores ten video games that go out of their way to anger, frustrate, belittle, and just generally antagonize the player into submission.
"Last week’s Electronic Theatre Sunday Special was the run down of Top Ten Videogame Heroes; featuring the protagonist you loved like Sam Fisher, Sonic the Hedgehog and Link. So to prove that the games industry isn’t just a man’s game, this week we focus on the Top Ten Videogame Heroines. Ten of the females that got you hot under the collar, and not in the Dead or Alive Paradise way, but stayed on track with the heroic mission which faced them have been chosen for this week’s feature article."

This is a commercial for the Sega Genesis system, complete with Streets of Rage 2 cartridge. The school nerd buys this game because he's sick of getting picked on, and after playing a violent video game he becomes tough enough in real life to bully the bullies. I'd love to see anyone try to sell video games like that now.
Considering how anti-bully and anti-violence today's world is - this would never fly. Ah the 90s... simpler times.
