This week, DesertEagle, SeanNOLA, Samurage, and BlueSwim struggle to keep things classy amidst discussions of Trine 2, Rayman Origins, Forza 4, P.O.W. Prisoner of War, Prehistoric Isle, the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Heroes and Heralds pack, and a board game known as Galaxy Trucker. Beyond impressions of newer titles, we also assess some of the gems which may have been overlooked during the season’s game of the year discussions. As always, we wrap up the show with a session of game trivia and well as answers to reader mail.
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
Batsu Ichimonji and Bishop from the X-Men are joining the fight in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 through a recently created mod for the game.
Dual Pixels: "After Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite there was a lot of doubt regarding the franchise ever returning in some sort of fashion..."
Capcom seriously dropped the ball with MvC Infinite. You can tell that it was heavily influenced by outside marketing that wanted to promote the characters in the MCU films only. The roster was lacking, the gameplay was slower than the previous game and there just wasn't a lot of the wackiness we come to expect.
Tell me the V isn't for Vejay-jay.
Good show so far.
I'm down with everything, 'cept Galaxy Trucker. Unless that involves space hookers. Then I'm all over it.
Thanks for posting!
Heroes and Heralds is free? If so I might just pick up UMvC3.
