X-MENT

3D Studio Max 2009, Crazy Bump, Photoshop CS4

This is another classic that for some reason Konami decided not to release a home version of. Regardless, it's a classic that has so much old-school style it's not even funny. I'm happy with the way it turned out but my one regret is that I didn't try tackling the coveted 6-player version that was awesome just to look at.

Easily my favorite out of the series, the creators took what worked about their previous title and only improved upon it. I remember bringing my Gamepro magazine to the arcade and trying my best to perform as many finishers as I could with $5. Good times...
