Fighting Games On PC

By Dan Foote

Fighting games are the most intense for of skill in a game, it is just you and the opponent in which you need to defeat them. Its all about quick reflexes ability to adapt to the situation that you are put in.

PC fighting games, however, are few and far in between. I mean truly good PC fighting games not simple broken flash games that will never maintain your interest for more than 10 minutes.

First of all what exactly classifies a fighting game? I would have to go with any game that lets you take direct control of your character form the punches to the kicks and usually as a bonus allow you to play multi player against other people, although it is not necessary.

A lot of people ask me why there aren't that many great PC fighting games anymore? Well I think the answer lies in how we control the computer, with a keyboard. Its not a precise controller quite like the PS3/Xbox 360 has so you will not always be able to achieve desirable results. This is probably the biggest reason that most big publishers started to shy away from PC fighting games when there are consoles to publish their games to.

Who would ever want to play a fighting game on the PC then? They are in all reality really fun on the computer but first I suggest you get yourself a controller for the PC or use your PS3/Xbox 360 controller and set it up for your game as they make your game A LOT more fun and allow you to pull off more intricate combos.

How do I hook up an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller to my computer? Its pretty simple for the most part just plug it in and install a piece of software to act as an emulator to simulate keystrokes. All of the software can be found in the site below.

PC fighting games online are one of the best ways to show off your skills, especially against your friends. You get to teach them a lesson and assert that you are the most dominate force. Fighting games make for a great tournament style game play so you can really find out who is the best. - 31497
