Guilty Gear 2X #Reload, proof they still can make a decent 2D fighter

Due out next week, Guilty Gear X2 #Reload (you must excuse the title) is certainly one of the last in a dying breed. But Reload definitely has the guts to carry that burden. This is no average 2D clone. At it's core, Reload is built around a complex fighting system that rewards those willing to go the extra mile to master it. Yes, this is one of those blood-sweat-and-tears-type of fighters. But it's got charisma too—something like that. It's a beautiful game, packed with unique (and absurd) characters. Over at Game Informer they prefer the terms "deeply disturbing", yet "inexplicably compelling". Even if you burned out your Street Fighter skills long ago, at only $20 (& Live!), it's worth a try.
