5 Games to Play This Weekend

Nostalgic for the ’80s? Do yourself a favor and download Double Dragon Neon for the console of your choice. You’ll be instantly warped back to the days of side-scrolling beat-em-ups, but developers WayForward have done a great job of both updating and preserving the formula.

You again play as Billy and Jimmy Lee, whose girlfriend has been kidnapped. But if the formula ain’t broke, don’t fix it, especially in this case. This remake has the same gameplay and moves, but with added buttons for things like ducking and throwing, something you couldn’t get from the two-button NES controller. The ’80s nostalgia is cranked to 11 as well, with mix-tape power ups and a soundtrack that just won’t quit.

The game is available on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade for $10. As a nice bonus, the soundtrack can be downloaded for free.
