First, and my favorite, was the Streets of Rage collection. Golden Axe, Monster World, and Alex Kidd & Co. followed, and now four lucky people will each win one of these four SEGA Vintage Collections. To be perfectly clear, we have one extra XBLA code for each of these packages, and will be giving each code out to a separate winner. Read the full story

Ah, Streets of Rage. From the arcade to home consoles, Streets of Rage was always one of my first choice brawlers, along with Final Fight, Double Dragon, and all the rest. I have different memories of each, with each just as fond.

Join the casts of each Streets of Rage game as they fight for what’s right. Yeah! Read the full story
