Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: New Screenshots from Comic-Con.

Wow. On the day that Activision announced the inclusion of Jean Grey and Gambit in the upcoming Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 video game, they also released screenshots of the most amazing looking Iron Fist and Deadpool that a joystick has ever controlled.
Simply gorgeous.

Okami Forever.

Certain things fill me with such exquisite bliss that I cannot help but burst with gratitude for the chance to be a human being.
Okami is one of those things.
Widely regarded as the greatest single video game ever created for the Playstation 2, this incomparable Capcom masterpiece also inspired a deviant art contest last year.
Expect much more [...]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance + Vs. System = Bliss.

That Mysterio is by kevtoons, but today I want to talk about Marvel Ultimate Alliance combined with Vs. System.

Both games give a MASSIVE survey of the Marvel Universe. I am halfway through the Playstation 2 masterpiece, and I cannot believe the depth of mythological coverage. Then I combo the video game with the full run [...]

Two-Tone Tuesday: Etna Rules.

Gotta love that Etna from Disgaea. Especially when sketched by Matt Bozon. This girl’s groovy game could last forever, especially since she is about to appear in the new Cross Edge RPG for Playstation 3. Screenshot to the face!

Darkness means:  Free -> Move this character to your hidden or visible area. Use only once per turn and only during the combat phase.

Disgaea’s Sturmhimmel.

I know it’s only a level ten skill, but it has one thing that the bigger moves don’t have. That frozen pose is different for every character. It is my quest.

Wallowing in Disgaea.

That’s the whole Disgaea crew, as colored by Shun. We have been jumping around on little boxes and busting giant spells for a few days, and so far our favorite move is the Archery skill called the Sturmhimmel. It splits the screen in half diagonally, with the real-time fireworks occurring only in the bottom left [...]

Darkstalker Preview Week: Jose G. in the House!

On TCGplayer his is known as “emmanuel”. On dot org his handle is JoseG. He is Jose Grau, and he is my new hero.
I have never been able to get enough of Anita. I often play Marvel Vs. Capcom in Beginner mode so I can just bring her back and forth onto the screen until [...]
