Anyone on NICO jumping on the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 game.

Just got that preordered, i was gonna start a thread but after seeing how the Marvel get bought by Disney thread went i realize there probably arent too many Marvel fans on NICO.

Nonetheless, if you are looking for a decent beatemup with some RPG elements that has 4 player coop(local and live) and lots of fanboys look no further than

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 isnt in development after all.

the mvc2 hyper game was just a test to see how people would respond. and to pursuade capcom there's an appetitte for it.

the licensing is still in the air.

MvC3 isnt something i see coming any time soon.Unless they completely reinvent it like they did with SFiV then i think its gonna be vaporware forever.

But it would be awesome to have a new MvC game.Molly Hayes FTW

But for now ill have to live with what Vicarious Visions and Raven can put together.Raven is supposedly making a Deadpool game.

capcom really needs to step in and make it happen.

MVC2 is the best and most talked about marvel game ever.I havent played most of the newer titles, but I know they dont compare.

capcom is also a juggernaut.

Hey all you 360 owners, Turn 10 just announced Friday that the Forza 3 Demo will be available for download @ the Xbox Live Marketplace on September 24th. here is the what you get:

[QUOTE:Forzamotorsport.net] The new demo lets you get behind the wheel of five of the world’s most amazing cars on the full circuit of the game’s Camino Viejo track. The demo includes five playable cars:

* 2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR * 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro * 2009 Ferrari California * 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR * 2009 Mini John Cooper Works

You will be able to drive all of the cars in the demo in full cockpit view as well as experience damage, rollover and try out the game’s new rewind feature as you take turns on a beautiful Spanish mountain course inspired by the Montserrat region just outside of Barcelona, Spain. When logged into Xbox LIVE, the demo will also support official leaderboards for lap times, giving you a further taste of what players will experience in “Forza Motorsport 3.”

With today’s Gone Gold announcement and the recent announcements around the fan-designed R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro and the exclusive Limited Collector’s Edition (which includes 10 exclusive bonus cars, VIP community status, and more), there has never been a better time to pre-order “Forza Motorsport 3.”

Additionally, Turn 10 is proud to unveil the first collection of Forza Motorsport-branded clothing and accessories for your Xbox LIVE avatar. Included in our first batch of gear are the following items. Check out the pictures below. The prices for Avatar gear will vary between 80 to 320 Microsoft Points.

* 4 T-shirt prints featuring logos from new tracks in the game * Forza-branded Racing Shoes * Forza-branded Baseball Cap * Forza-branded Fingerless Racing Gloves * Forza-branded Leather Jacket * 2 Racing Helmet (in white or black) * Forza-branded Race Driver Fire Suit

The Forza Motorsport 3 demo and all Avatar items will be available on Sept. 24. [/QUOTE]

They also released 3 new videos for your drooling pleasure.

Most talked about YES, best NO.Xmen Legends I and II were better.Also the Punisher game was just straight up badass.

from the few screen shots i just saw and the 8.4 review IGN gives it... seems like a pretty decent game.

But I can garauntee you, that people wont be playing it 10 years from now... MvC2 is in every major fighting game tournament world wide. and its made a handful of professional players famous.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 was to fighting games what Quake 3 was to first person shooters: A gem for the ages

best marvel game without question.

Gran Turismo PSP just got a 6.9 review from IGN.com. LOL Gran Turismo PSP comes out before Gran Turismo 5. I hope GT5 does better.

I still don't believe it's really coming out. I put GT Mobile and Duke Nukem Forever under the same umbrella.

Duke Nukem Forever - Forever waiting is more like it.

The running joke with a couple of friends of mine is to call it DNF.

I have Halo for the PC. I always give up when I get to the stupid Flood part because it's so annoying it stops being fun. Endless identical corridors filled with yet more Flood. JOY. I did finish it once, way back when it was new.

I didn't have a 3D0, but I had the original (Road & Track Presents) The Need for Speed for DOS/Windows.

Just played the Darkest Days demo on the 360... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!! Quite possibly one the worst games I've ever played, cool concept, terrible graphics and horrible gameplay and controls. B ut then what do you expect from a start up home brew game company. Honestly this would play better as an Xbox Live Arcade game, not as a "let me drop $60 on a craptacular game". If you really must get this game at least do yourself a favor and wait 8 months, the price will drop like concrete from a roof.

Crash And Burn fellow 3DO former user! Man I forgot all about that game, I had that one too, it was one of the first games I bought when I got the system. I was blown away at the time by all the amazing scaling and rotation that system could do, the Super NES could scale and rotate but not like the 32 bit systems. Nostalgia FTW!

Anyone on here have a Neo-Geo, it had a bunch of kick a** games and the ability to play your saved games at the Arcade and vice versus with the use of a credit card type memory card. Between Metal Armsl and Aero Fighters I always wanted one, plus they had the King of Fighters and Fatal Fury games, too bad it didn't get more exposure over here, it would have probably put the Dreamcast and PS 2 to shame.

Man I always wanted a Neo Geo but it just never happened, I never even got to play one at someone else's house or at a store.

That's probably because when they were out they were pretty much the most expensive gaming system out running between $300-$500 and back in the early to mid 90's no one wanted to drop that kind of loot on a gaming system except the rich and the hardest of hard core gamers. I only saw them in a small handful of EB games. I believe you had to order them direct from Japan through magazine ads.

Come to think of it, that was the reason! I'd still like to play one though even today just for nostalgia, plus they had some pretty good games as well if I remember correctly.

Toys R Us has a crazy Halo ODST package. For $59.99 you get the game, a $20 gift card, plus a Halo 3 Rookie Action figure that retails for 11.99. (In-store special, check your local ads)
