Back in 2000, Sega gave us a look into the future of funk with Jet Set Radio, a cel-shaded action game that starred a cute band of rollerblading miscreants who tagged walls, battled rival delinquents, and avoided out-of-control cops. The updated PC version, also called Jet Set Radio, flexes high-definition graphics, developer interviews, and all of the bells-and-whistles you'd expect from a Steam game. Dripping in manga-influenced hip-hop flavor, and boasting one of the greatest soundtracks ever crafted for a video game, the grind-happy Jet Set Radio is a title that belongs in the library of any one who digs fast-paced action games, incredibly catchy tunes, and street culture. Even a loading bug, annoying time limitations, and a sometimes-wonky camera can't prevent this gem from shining. The remastered Jet Set Radio is available on PC (in fact, it's one of the best PC games), but you can also find it on last-generation consoles.

In Jet Set Radio, you control the members of the funky GG crew, a squad that marks their territory by spraying graffiti over rival gangs' tags in a fictionalized Tokyo-to. You begin the game controlling Beat, but recruit Gum and other GG heads by either impressing them with your sick skating-and-tagging skills or defeating other bomber gangs. Each recruit has her or his own skating, tagging, and paint can-carrying skill attributes, so how you complete missions varies from character to character. That's a nice touch that encourages you to explore the depths of your crew.
