Well, the holidays are behind us, and I've barely had time to unwrap all of those comic related games mentioned in my last post.

Of particular interest is Marvel Ultimate Alliance. This game allows you to play twenty of Marvels top super heroes including Spider-man, Wolverine, and all of the Fantastic Four. While it had many elements that were clearly taken from the successful X-Men Legends series, there were a number of new features which made the game particularly fun. The environments included just about everything from one of Nick Fury's Super-carriers, to Stark tower and the undersea kingdom of Namor.

On top of the large and complex campaign game, there are also dozens of special mission disks that can be discovered during game play. These unlock historical scenarios that allow the gamer to recreate some of the great moments of each of the characters, like Captain America taking on Winter Soldier.

While the hardcore gamers might find Marvel Ultimate Alliance isn't quite up to the toughest standards, any full fledged comic fanatic should find more than enough goodness here to keep them entertained while playing their favorite Marvel characters.
