That’s right folks, if you’re anything like me (and I guess it’s ok to assume that you are not… or else the world would be a very strange place) than you’re stoked for Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 to finally make it’s way back onto our consoles and our hearts.
Available for download NOW on Xbox Live Arcade for 1200 MS points (later on PSN), Marvel Vs. Capcom has stood the test of time and is back for another round on this generation of consoles (as long as it’s PS3 and Xbox 360). With MvC2 players can now battle online as one of 56 Marvel or Capcom fighters utilizing unblockable attacks, infinite combos, and other frustrating maneuvers that everyone online seems to be able to do except for me.
Want to see who would win in a fight between Wolverine and Ken? Perhaps Spiderman Vs. Megaman? Ohhh how about M. Bison pitted against Magneto? (I don’t know about you but it feels like the Marvel characters would ususually be the ones to come out on top). Forget Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, this is the real deal here.
Coming out this Wednesday, two of my favourite aspects of the late 80’s and early 90’s are coming back with titles on Xbox Live Arcade. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Madballs in… Babo Invasion are both going to be unleashed on an unsuspecting public in a couple of days.
The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition originally released in 1990 is back for another go with all new HD graphics, a remastered music score and complete voice work to bring this wacky and entertaining classic into the hearts of a new generation to love, enjoy, and obsess over. Published and developed by LucasArts, this title will run you 800 MS points, is rated E10+ and will have your swashbuckling humor bell a-ringing! READ MORE »
That’s right boys and girls, men and women; My favourite (and quite possibly some of yours as well) arcade fighter Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has finally decided on a solid date to release their awesomeness to the downloadable console world. Only July 29th, 2009 players from AROUND THE WORLD will have the opportunity to pit the Hulk against Ryu, Spiderman against Megaman and pretty much have one of the most out-there battles I can think of pitting… well, Marvel characters vs. Capcom characters… part 2.
As mentioned above, the release date to download Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on Xbox Live Arcade is July 29th globally and will set you back 1,200 MS points. This release is part of Microsoft’s “Summer of Arcade” promotion and I don’t know about you but I plan on getting alot of online play out of this title when it finally lands.
Unfortunately there is still no date for the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PlayStation Network, however we are told it is coming soon.
A short, 2D man stumbles into a tavern and dies. His body flashes and then disappears. This is your introduction to the world of Castle Crashers, a game full of self-reflexive and irreverent humour. Someone has crashed the castle and kidnapped four princesses. You must choose the Blue, Red, Green or Orange knight to go out and rescue the princesses and win them back one kiss at a time.
Castle Crashers is a classic, side-scrolling arcade game. You progress across linear levels from left to right and defeat bad guys as you go. The game has many throwbacks to the coin-op era, including a flashing finger pointing you right as the screen is cleared. A more contemporary twist has been added, as the characters level up with attributable skill points to strength, magic, defense and speed.
This is an action game with a quick pace. The game does not halt when your character gains a level; instead, it let’s you adjust your skill points between stages. Magic spells are limited to three per character with generic elemental themes such as ice for the Blue Knight and fire for the Orange Knight. As you clear stages, more characters are unlocked. I played as the Orange Knight and ran into big trouble in the lava stage as the enemies were immune to my magic attacks. Later in the game, I encountered more magic-resistant enemies. During these sections, the combat became very one-dimensional as I button mashed my way to the next stage so it’s important to keep your characters balanced if playing solo. READ MORE »
