of course available for all 3 consoles, PS2 and PSP.  PS3 and 360 have the Hall of Fame Edition

Madden 2012 is out today, for us it means Football Season has begun, because now we can play with this seasons teams, check out new features in the title and the unfortunate business of betting on the likelihood that whoever is on the cover of Madden is actually going to get injured, as it has been with every years player on the cover of the game.

More awesome news from Capcom as we all know that Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is coming and with this recent news we see 2 new and awesome characters being added.  Doctor Strange and Nemesis (T-Type). Judging from some of the initial gameplay Strange has some similar fighting movements reminiscent of Magneto and Nemesis looks to play like a Hulk or Haggar type.  The artwork looks superb, the specials look fantastic.  We mentioned in a past article Shuma Gorath, Ghost Rider, Firebrand and Jill (One of my personal favorites from MvC2).  I'm hoping to see Captain Marvel and perhaps Dr. Wily from MegaMan or perhaps some of the other MegaMan characters in the future - perhaps the specials allow you to transform into some of the other robots (like Shang Tsung in MK shifting into other toons).  Eitherway, whatever it is they have in store for us.  I'm sure it's bound to be amazing.

Hankering for a Hunk of MvC3 love.  Get online, XBL/PSN and play some games.  If you don't have this yet...that is a crime against fighting games...Forget the competitive circuit for a moment, this game is ridiculous amounts of fun.  Especially because you can forget the concept of fighter games for a moment and just play some of your favorite comic book characters.  Me, I love Thor.  With the new DLC, my eyes popped out of my head, that Capcom added Firebrand...WHAT!  Firebrand from Ghosts and Goblins - So that was a straight injection into my nostalgia vein.  A nice compliment to Arthur (from Ghost and Goblins) who is already in the game.  

Esepcially with one of my favorite comic book characters Ghost Rider...I'm really excited to play with him in game, technically he is one of the most powerful beings in the marvel universe.  If not one of the more specifically power beings on earth (for all cases he is nearly similar in power to the Silver Surfer who is a herald of Galactus, Ghost Rider is a Herald of Mephisto/Mephistopheles).  

Perhaps we'll start our own list for top powered beings in Comics... So enjoy some Mahveeeeel Baby!  If you play well, good for you! But play for the fun of it.  See you online.

Its Marveelllll baby!
