Celebrating the release of Street Fighter IV for the PC, Capcom and GameTap parent Metaboli have teamed up to deliver Street Fighter II Championship Edition to your browser window. It might not be the best adaptation of the classic fighting game, but it does the trick, allowing you to put your keyboard-controlled fighting skills to the test against twelve different Street Fighter mainstays. There’s even a convenient link to purchase and download Street Fighter IV, along with a chat window where fellow players offer helpful hints and tips, like “Folk is a German word”

Announced today and starting “this summer,” Verizon will be offering “more than 1,400″ PC games through its broadband service, for $9.99 per month. The service boasts a variety of games, ranging from Bejeweled to Splinter Cell , allowing customers to play the games over an internet connection or download the games directly to their computers — provided the computer is connected to the internet, that is, presumably for license verification. For now, the service is only going to be offered in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York, with no word on when other areas will be able to sign up.

GameTap Launches Redesigned Service [Gametap]
In November of 2007 , Gametap promised to continue their Re/Visioned animation series, with comic book talent taking on classic Atari 2600 games.
