Marvel Ultimate Alliance

I'm a big Marvel fan (or at least, I used to be. Don't get to read much of their comics anymore). I also really enjoyed Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

So it will come as no shock to you that I am really looking forward to the extra characters which are about to be introduced for Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Several reasons for this.

I've always like Hawkeye. Not the character himself (tbh - I'm not that familiar with the character). What I've always liked is the image of the archer. Robin Hood was another of my boyhood fantasies and in D&D games, I've always been partial to the Ranger character class. Something about the archer stereotype just really clicks with my psyche.

The second reason is Venom. Everybody's favourite anti-hero (provided you are a Spidey fan - and I am a huge Spidey fan) is one of the new playable characters and I can't wait to take him out for a spin. I really enjoyed playing Spider-Man in MUA and it will be interesting to see how Venom differs.

The last reason is achievement based. I have come very close to unlocking all the achievements for this game. However, the introduction of some newer games meant that this game went on the shelf and I never really got round to getting the remaining few achievements. Hopefully, this will be my chance to grab the last couple of achievements.
