Gonna get some new games today

Aug 25, 2009 01:14

So I had a couple game pre-ordered at my local Gamestop, "Batman: Arkham Asylum" for the Xbox 360 and "Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box" for the Nintendo DS. Batman's a world-famous detective, Professor Layton is a world-famous puzzle-solver (and archaeologist). Naturally, my sleep-deprived mind thinks that a team-up between the two would ( Read more... )

MUA2 is going to be out only on PS3, right? I only have PS2 and DS and barely touch them - buying PS3 just so I could play MUA2 seems like an atrocity. :/

Nope, it's coming out on the PS2, PS3, PSP, DS, Wii, and Xbox 360. According to the Gamespot page anyway. I've got the Xbox 360 version pre-ordered from Gamestop (different from Gamespot, yes it's confusing). Presumably the current-gen console all have the downloadable Juggernaut figure if pre-ordered from Gamestop.

The cover is kind of funny. You've got Spider-Man and Wolverine, which you would expect from just about anything Marvel is putting out. Then you have Iron Man and Captain America, which makes sense since the game it about Civil War. Then you have Hulk, okay sure, if Hulk wants to be on a cover I'm not going to tell him differently. And Venom, huh? And then Deadpool, doesn't make sense but hey it's Deadpool, and Gambit, again huh? I can only guess DP and Gambit are there because they were in Wolverine Origins. And then, you can extend that out to all the characters (except Cap) as having been in a movie in the last few years. So yeah.

That's awesome news!!! :D
What? CW? Well, that's actually good news, I totally want to kick some proreg asses (though DP was on IM's side... unless you can pick and chose your team)

Hulk wasn't in CW at all, he was on Sakaar, boinking Caiera saving the planet and kicking asses. Gambit... wasn't even CLOSE that thing. Venom ♥

BTW, official site.

Iron Man being pro-reg and Cap being anti-reg are the only two affixed affiliations. You get to pick the side you're on and what characters you get to use. So the story's only loosely based on Civil War. The mutants are going to be more involved in this version, and the ones I can see on the official site are Wolverine, Gambit, Storm, and Jean Grey.

Oh yeah, other cool feature: unique two-character power combos. Thor can bounce his lightning off Cap's shield as they move and make an electric clothesline effect, among other nifty stuff.
