Thinking of Double Dragon takes me right back to middle school, when playing side-scrolling beat ’em ups at arcades, 7-11s, ice cream parlors, and so on was a regular thing. This September, Double Dragon: Neon is hoping to recapture some of the classic gameplay of yesterday when it releases on XBLA and PSN.
For about $10 on both platforms, this revival of the classic beat ’em up will offer coop gameplay with all the tropes you’ve come to expect from the genre – lots of weapons, special abilities, power-ups, and a variety of locations.
Sean started playing video games in infancy. He was not given a choice as much as a directive from his parents to be the best gamer on Earth. Sean was subjected to 10-12 hours of rigorous daily gaming throughout his youth, mastering the most complex video games and dominating online competitions. Sean's symbiotic relationship with video games led to writing about them for various gaming websites, and he is currently involved in sales strategy and analytics at one of the largest video game publishers in the world. Sean's mission is simple: Turn 100% of the human population into gamers, willingly or otherwise.
