The development and release of sport-based video games can be seen as one of the smartest moves in video game history. Providing fans with a chance to relive great rivalries or see the glory of a fantasy match of two epic squads, these games further the love of the sport. Every year, the numerous sport genre series are re-released featuring updated stats, better graphics, and more intense strategies to continually challenge the players.
Companies like Williams and Capcom have long tried to achieve the same success in the realm of fighting games. These series, while full of tried and true combo crunching action, fail to compete long term as players get bored with fighters and heroes they can not identify with.

Tune of the Week
Dirty5Thirty is a six member, organic hip-hop group from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. They are proudly "multi-genred" and borrow liberally from influences in jazz, metal, funk, hip-hop and psychadelia. Their "rap-attack meets jams" (Independent Weekly) style has been touted as The Roots meets Soulive, with a little Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam thrown in for taste. Dirty5Thirty is accomplished, having played over 100 shows at more than 30 venues in two years. They raised over $2000 for the Lineberger Cancer Research Center at UNC-Chapel Hill through the creation, promotion and planning of "Project Elevation," an eight band festival held in April of 2005.
