I would never pay $5 for these, but for free I will give them a try with my PS membership. I have fond memories of Golden Axe but I don't remember if I ever played the other ones.

Oh man Golden Axe did NOT age well...

"She's hot, LITERALLY, ya know."

Blaze from SoR always tickled my fancy more.

Goldenaxe is one of my most played XBLA games - simple gameplay that anyone can pick up and play in co-op. You'll be surprised how many none gamers would rather play a retro title than something they perceive as modern and complex.

While these free games (I am a PS+ member) are all well in good, I already own them all in the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. There are two things that HAVE to be done for me to even bother downloading:

-Full-on trophy support for each individual title (not just one trophy per game like was allotted to them in Sonic's Collection)
-Online co-op, particularly for Streets of Rage 2 and Golden Axe II. I was so upset when I discovered that these great co-op classics that were on Sonic's Collection were not playable online.

Has anyone noticed that the visual style of Marvel vs Capcom 3 would lend itself well to a side scrolling beat em up like Streets of Rage or Golden Axe? I sure hope Capcom realises this and dishes out a new Final Fight or Knights of the Round game.
