This is the 2nd year I've done Black Friday shopping. Last year I bought another xbox 360 after mine red-ringed. I also made sure to buy a warranty from the store for it this time since it seemed like a guarantee that it would  red ring again. Unfortunately I bought this warranty from Circuit City.... I could go on about the faultiness of the system and how I was screwed over but that's not what this story's about.

   This year I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Limited Edition of Tekken 6. This came with an art book and more importantly an arcade stick. I wasn't really looking forward to Tekken 6 but a game and an arcade stick for $70 seemed like a steal.  With an arcade stick now in my possesion, I also decided to give Street Fighter 4 a chance. I was not surprised to find that Street Fighter 4 was the more polished of the two. Tekken 6's online was lackluster at best and honestly I just prefer 2-D fighters over 3-D fighters. I'm not really sure why maybe it's just that they feel more precise. The arcade stick itself works great and makes fighting games actually playable.

           Speaking of 2-D fighters, I'm also looking forward to playing BlazBlue. I'm not expecting it to be on par with Street Fighter 4 in terms of ease of play so I'm just leaving it on the back-burner for now. Despite the fact that Street Fighter 4 is relatively easy to pick up and play and even though I consider myself decent now, there is still that one guy who just opens a can of whoop ass on you. It's at this point that I usually just turn the game off.

If anyone wants to play me in Street Fighter on the 360 just leave your gamertag in the comments.

Thanks.
