Having played video games for 2 decades now, I feel as though I have a certain learned authority that I have acquired over years of playing both the real winners, and true stinkers. It seems that as games as a medium evolve, their potential to inspire a certain kind of awe grows, while their limitless potential to truly suck rocks never diminishes. A classic title that excelled, still does today and you can go back and replay it, and some of that old nostalgic feeling envelopes you in a warm blanket ...

When I heard that a third game was being released, I greatly anticipated its release and followed its development closely.

I picked up MVC- Fate of Two Worlds on the 360. Now, that I have my grubby little hands on it, ...
