I now have two distinctly different groups of fighting games in my life: Games where you can play as a character named “Butt" and games where you cannot play as a character named “Butt." Garou: Mark of the Wolves ($3.99) is in the first group. Jared and I get online together and go through a couple multiplayer fights, but ultimately end up having weird Game Center issues. So, I pick up the pieces, and my Butt proceeds ahead to get rocked in single player.

If you dig SNK fighters, Garou: Mark of the Wolves seems like a solid purchase. I wouldn’t let our online multiplayer SNAFU dissuade you, as Game Center is always a little weird with realtime multiplayer games. It worked, then it didn’t, and I bet if I tried again later today it’d work. That’s just sort of the story of Game Center.
