If you haven't played any of the UFC games before, or if you've been waiting for the series to come to the PlayStation 2, then Throwdown makes a fine introduction.
This is the second bout between Arlovski and Sylva in the UFC. It's a great but quick fight.

Tekken Tag Tournament
If you've stayed away from the Tekken series for a long time, Tekken Tag is a very warm homecoming, delivering the same solid gameplay that Tekken fans crave in large doses.
Tekken 4
You couldn't call it ambitious. But you could still call it one of the better fighting games in years.
Street Fighter EX3
EX3 may feel a bit rushed in some spots, but overall it's a fun and great-looking fighting game that won't disappoint longtime EX fans.
UFC: Sudden Impact (PS2)
Sudden Impact is easily the most unflinchingly halfhearted effort in the series to date, and it only serves to further run the once-promising UFC name into the ground.
Score: 6.0
UFC: Tapout 2 (XBOX)
Even devout fans of the sport would be better off with the previous Tapout game, or, if they own a PlayStation 2, THQ's Pride FC.
Score: 6.7
