BeefJack: X-Blades Review

BeefJack writes: "The beat 'em up genre was once amongst the best video games had to offer, from Final Fight to Streets Of Rage, Golden Axe and Alien Storm, even the arcades were alight with titles spawning from the X-Men and Alien and Predator universes. It seemed for a while that this genre was simply untouchable and could produce playable interesting titles one after the other. For a while anyway, because when 3D became the dominate landscape for games a lot changed."
