Beat 'em ups


Are we strictly talking 2d side scrolling games?


Games where your fists do the talking. Usually with a friend. It never really translated to 3D all that well.

Action games like DMC sorta replaced them.

That was sort of my point. BeUs got replaced by 3D hack and slash games, which are the logical evolution of the genre.


Doesn't have that classic coop though!

I have a Rappala one on PS2, not sure if I've ever played it, or even where it came from.

- immersive sims (i think the Hitman games are the last ones in this genre that havent been canned)

- mmorpgs (pretty much a dead genre besides WoW)

- stealth games where the point is to not be seen at all

- real time strategy

- vehicular combat (RIP twisted metal)

- actual tactical shooters

pretty much every genre that i like, sometimes i wonder why i even bother with video games anymore
