I don’t have much add on the historical front, but in other FtG news, The Count and I have started playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 over Xbox Live.
Our first foray into beating up hordes of schlubs went fairly well, although we missed the optional objective to destroy all eight of the cyborg prototypes because The Count is impatient and hates treasure.
The system is less complex than in the previous games, with what looks like four standard powers for every character and a very simple inventory, but it delivers some punching fun.
