Marvel vs. Capcom 3

That's right, the third chapter.
  Much like 'Words with Friends,' MVC3 is a game that will destroy all relationships that it comes in contact with. It is a well designed game, but it was much better in an arcade setting when you could easily hate the stranger next to you who very effectively used the stupid Okami wolf to trounce you nine times in a row. At home with only friends you are forced to let these frustrations fester until you find youself digging up old wounds, and making your once solid friendship crumble in ruin like so many ancient civilizations.

Fuck you, Okami wolf. Fuck you.

  That being said, I really sort of love this game. It is one of the best fighters out there, and you get to be spider-man; the Spider-Man! The game pits two players against each other, each picking three characters from the Marvel or Capcom universe. There is also a single player mode culminating in a fight against a giant Galactus, but that isn't really the main point. One could button mash if they really wanted to, but if one really focuses on good play and combos, one can easily defeat the aforementioned masher. I am a little disappointed that the super move function boils down to essentially pulling a trigger and that sometimes just triggers a tag to one of your teammates. Maybe I was a little hasty saying it was well-designed, but I did really like it despite some of its issues. Deadpool moves backwards in a moonwalk.

Even Galactus gets owned by that damn wolf.

Marvel vs. Capcom was always my favorite game to play in the arcade, so perhaps my opinion is a bit clouded my nostalgia, but I would say that this game gets an Ironman out of all Marvel characters. Which is to say, not the best but still pretty damn cool.
