In the up coming Street Fighter vs Tekken, the Playstation 3 and Vita versions will have bonus characters, and one of them is the long awaited appearance of Mega Man, but not quite the Mega Man your thinking of.

People have been waiting for Mega Man in a fighting game, but is this the version you have been waiting for? What do you think of the out of shape guy in a Mega Man suit?

Now that every one has had time to play Star Wars: The Old Republic, we would like to get you thoughts on the game and how it stacks up against the MMO giant World of Warcraft.

Star Wars The Old Republic is a PC game, classified as a MMO, for all of you that are not familiar with that, a MMO is a Massive Multiplayer Online, which means that the whole game is online and thousands of other players can interact with you while playing. The game is brought to you by Bioware and Electronic Arts, so if you are worried that the game may be canceled or not supported, you do not have to worry because with those titans of the industry behind it and the Star Wars name, this game should have a long life expectancy.

When starting the game you can choose from a variety of different types, from Sith Warrior, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, to Jedi Knight. The one thing different from most MMOs, is that each class you choose has it’s own distinct story line. So if you played as four different characters you would get four different story lines.  Another great feature, is all missions are acted out with voice overs, which means no text box telling you the mission, Bioware took the time to animate every NPC that gives you a mission, which adds to the story driven missions.

The ability to solo most of the game is a nice touch for us loner console game players that just want to play the game, but there are many options to buddy up and play with friends.

The gameplay itself is nothing new. If you have played a MMO like World of Warcraft, then you will be familiar with the gameplay.  Pretty much walk here click on enemy, select different powers until enemy is dead then go back to person who gave you the mission and collect your experience points. That is basically it for gameplay, and you will do that for hours upon hours. Some people love it, some hate it. The graphics are pretty good, it really depends on how powerful your PC is. The sound of course as with any Star Wars game is always top notch, by far the best in game sound around.

If you will like Star Wars The Old Republic really depends on your love or hate for MMOs. It does not bring anything drastically new to the formula, but it does have a lot more story driven content then most MMOs.  So you won’t find yourself killing rabbits in a field for two days to level up.

Call of Duty Modern Warefare 3 is another game in a long line of Call of Duty games. By the title you can tell that these games no longer stick to just World War 2. The last game,  Black Ops covered the Cuban Missile Crisis. This title takes place in the near future, with Russia pretty much invading the whole planet.

The story is continued from the previous Modern Warfare games, there is an evil Russian general that has tricked Russia into going to war. Like usual, there are some over the top set pieces,  from the Eiffel Tower exploding, to whole buildings falling and fighting through them.

The single player is like playing a Micheal Bay movie, explosions and gunfire are the name of the game and if you have surround sound this game is one of the best sounding ones you will ever encounter. Really the only thing holding back the single player is the length which will probably only take around five hours.

The multiplayer is the bread and butter of this franchise, the spec ops is a lot of fun to do with a friend. But strangely you can not play co op in the campaign. There are tons of online modes, and for people who are rookies do not be afraid, I managed to get to level ten and I am horrible.

All in all the best Call of Duty game so far. 8 out of 10

The long awaited sequel to Marvel vs Capcom 2 is finally here, Marvel vs Capcom 3, is it worth the wait? Well sort of, Marvel vs Capcom 3 once again pits the super heroes of the Marvel Universe vs the characters of the Capcom universe. What Capcom has been able to do lately is really recapture the excitement of fighting games again, with 2D style game play with 3D visuals. If you have played Super Street Fighter 4 from last year you will be very familiar with this game.

The difference between this game and the Street Fighter series, is the simplicity of this game. The appeal of this game is anyone can play and have fun right away with it. There are still air combos and long chain combos, but they are not necessary to be competitive in this game. The hard core fighting fans in the long run will probably stick to Street Fighter, but for the rest of us, Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be your game.

The visuals and sounds really capture the feel of the old arcade, and there moments when the action is so crazy you can not even tell whats going on. Each match you get to choose three members of your team, and the objective is to knock out the three members of the other team before time runs out. There are about 39 characters to choose from, two of which will be released on March 15th for $5.00 each. The usual ones are in the game with a handful of new faces like Dante from Devil May Cry and Deadpool from Marvel.

As fun as this game is there is really not much to it, you get a standard arcade mode, where you fight about 8 different teams and then fight the main boss, Galactus. Then there is a mission mode, which is basically a mode to try to pull off all the combos for each character. Finally there is online which is a mixed bag, there is no spectator mode, so if you are in a lobby with people you just sit and wait and see nothing, kind of boring, also online you have your standard ranked matches and shadow matches where you play AI based on certain players.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 is a fun game, hands down, but could of used some more modes and features. Also the whole DLC route Capcom has been taking is a little on the cheesy side, $5.00 for one new character seems a little steep. The endings for each character are a little lame as well, just a still picture with a couple lines of text. Since it has been 10 years since the last game came out, they could of really loaded this game with more.

One piece of advice, if you get a chance and you can find an arcade stick for your system to play this on, go ahead and get it, it makes the game a lot more fun. The only problem is these can get a little expensive, so watch for sales!
