marvel ultimate alliance

I apologize for the hiatus in posting.

The husband and I recently bought a new PS2 game (which we rarely do since we usually just play our NBA season) called Marvel Ultimate Alliance and for the past few weeks whenever I get home from school or work I’m so tired and emotionally spent that all I want to do is escape into the world of Marvel Comics where the line between good and evil is incontrovertible and we (the good guys) always win.

As far as the gameplay goes, it’s pretty fun.  A lot of their stages are puzzles where you have to look around your environment to figure out how to kill the boss.  It’s also fun to try out the different characters and have a game where storylines intertwine and you hear Wolverine make snide remarks to counter Spiderman’s cheesy puns.  It’s pretty hard to find good multiplayer games that aren’t first person shooter games and this is one of them.  My favorite character to use is Wolverine because he has a “berserker mode” that is really powerful.  The husband likes to use Thing because he’s huge and powerful.  I think Thing is slow and oafish… much like using Donkey Kong in the N64 Smash Bros. game, but to each his own.  He also uses Deadpool who has the cool teleport ability and Merc’s Revenge superpower which looks like a scene out of The Matrix.

We also picked up a really cheap used copy of Twisted Metal Black which is a lot of fun but I can only stand playing for and hour or so before I start to get motion sick.

Today's weather is mostly optimistic with a chance of isolated melancholy.
