There are a number of great beat-em-ups to choose from on Xbox Live Arcade, including X-Men The Arcade Game, The Simpsons Arcade and, of course, the always favorable Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

There's more satisfaction to it than we first expected, but it isn't quite the noble warrior it could've been.

But down the line, just like a family member, we love and respect them. They have been the backbone of the industry for many years and have influenced it in more ways that we can count.
