So without any further ado, here is a list of the five lucky winners who not only get to walk away with a copy of King of Fighters XII but also a fabulous poster of the game featuring artwork from the game itself.

Congratulations to all winners! Individual mails have been sent to all winners.
A big thanks to Milestone Interactive for sponsoring the prizes and to all those who participated in the contest! Keep a lookout for more such contest in the future.
There is always something nice about having your favorite game from childhood arrive on your next-gen consoles in an all new avatar, complete with a shiny new paint job, updated graphics and new features. The year of 2009 has been especially good in that regard when it comes to the fighting genre. First it was Street Fighter 4 wowing long time fans with its jump to the HD age. Now was the turn of King of Fighters XII (KOF XII) to appear on our PS3s and Xbox 360s. After having successfully maintained a huge fan following on multitude of consoles and arcade machines over a period of fifteen years, all eyes were on KOF XII to see if it could recreate the same magic that has sustained it over so many years.
It has been a while since we have had a new contest here at The ANGRY Pixel. Now is the time is to set it right and what could be a better candidate for a new contest then soon-to-be-released King of Fighters XII, which will be hitting the Indian shelves later this week?
So here is your chance to walk away with one out of the five copies of King of Fighters XII for the Xbox 360 and a poster of the game, worth INR 2500, as well. What’s best is that you just have to answer a simple question to be eligible for the sweepstakes.
Just answer the simple question and mail the answer to the email address provided. Who knows, you could be one of the lucky few to win a copy of the game! Hit the jump to know more.
For me, fighting games continue to be a part of my everyday fundamental, button-mashing diet. It only seems like yesterday when I was able to execute my first Hadoken in Street Fighter II. The first time I managed a Fatality off Mortal Kombat’s Johnny Cage, ripping his pretty little head off in supreme satisfaction. The first time experiencing Kasumi’s bouncy-breasty radiance in her Rabbit swimsuit from Dead or Alive Xtreme Volleyball… Oh wait, that last one didn’t have any fighting it in, did it? Ok, more or less, it still had the bouncy-breasty radiance that DOA games are still known for. Upon further reflecting on perpetual conundrums, even cruddy fighting games still had a memorable gimmick or two, like how Primal Fury was essentially Mortal Kombat but with prehistoric animals. Or how Kakuto Chojin so hilariously ripped off Fight Club’s plot. Ah, how one mingles in the memories of the inconsequential!
Getting back to the point, there are still game companies which have stayed long with the fighting genre and continue to support it, despite knowing that the days of coin-op arcades have long passed (Japan notwithstanding). Newer entries continue to be pumped – and thanks to the advent of better net infrastructure, more and more franchises are taking the leap to online matchmaking. No longer content to just playing your homies from the hood or the local game cafe, you’ll now be given the opportunity to fool around with players from all sorts of regions. You haven’t played a real game of Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves until some random 15-year-old Asian munchkin promptly hands over your carcass in less than a minute.
Thusly, I solemnly declare that a brief rundown on potential, forthcoming Beat em’ Ups shall be in effective order. Heaven or Hell, let’s fight!
