We begin with a fighting series that has had over the years numerous whispers and rumours of several reboots from numerous places (look around the internet, you’ll see one of them). But despite that, it’s the second installment in the series which we look back on in this week’s episode of My Favourite Game.
Dave Cook my successor at VG247 who’s since left games writing, is one of the most knowledgeable fighting game fans I’ve come across, along with someone else who’ll be appearing on MFG in a few weeks, who holds Streets of Rage 2 in high regard as his favourite game.
In this next hour(ish), me and Dave talk of his start in games – personally and professionally – as well as Streets of Rage 2 plus a big tangent on fighting games as a whole plus hack-and-slash games, as well as his honourable mentions (for those who know Dave: you’ll be shocked to learn Dark Souls makes a presence – I know, I was surprised too).
