There are a lot of good reasons to be revisiting Capcom’s Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, the Street Fighter port released for the PSP back in 2006.

In order to prevent any further embarrassment to Steve and anyone else out there who’s a little confused about what society expects of them, we’d like to remind you of scenarios and environments were you should avoid playing the PSP or your handheld of choice.

You might think of it as reheated left-overs, environmentally correct recycling, or a slow news day. Here in the TIG lab, We call it Classic Incomplete Gamer.
