In direct comparison to the Xbox 360 version, there is some polishing that still needed to be done.

My biggest gripe with the game has to do with your team. You can literally sit back and relax, not throwing one punch, and your team of three other super heroes will take care of most everything on screen.

That is not an Action-RPG, is a snooze fest! Untold Legends Dark Kingdom gives me my fill of this genre, and does so quite well.

Although Ultimate Alliance has its flaws, it is still a lot of fun. There is a massive list of heroes to play as, and each has different costumes to unlock, and of course stats to build. The RPG elements are kept quite manageable, which is appreciated.

The SIXAXIS controls are used during boss fights, mini-game style, and to perform maneuvers such as dodge, grab, and charge powers. The fighting engine plays well, but we expect that by now.

Multiplayer helps a lot, especially when all four heroes are human and not CPU controlled. Four players can battle online and off, with competitive multiplayer too. You compete for points, the one with the most points wins.

They scraped the bottom of the barrel to bring us the likes of Blade, but they left out Hulk. Where is the logic in that? This game has a couple head scratchers like this.

Although this is a fine upgrade from X-Men Legends series, your aggressive teammates kill the show. But if you are a Marvel fan, you are in for a well-written story and a game you will want to pick up.

From the perspective of a that Marvel fan, you could easily give this one another star, otherwise it doesn't really stand out.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Mild Language and Violence. This game can also be found on: GBA, PC, PS2, PSP, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360.

Need for Speed Carbon — Last year's Most Wanted is what the series desperately needed. This year it is back to the neon streets, but thankfully not in the Underground way.

Most of what made Most Wanted so much fun is back. This year drift racing takes the place of drag racing. Though to be honest, I much prefer drag racing.

Where Most Wanted got brutally tough because of the cops, Carbon is a bit easier because of the lack of cops. It is an okay trade off, though the game seems a little too easy now.

The throw away story has you back in town after a major car race where the cops came in and busted everyone. The slick looking cut scenes, and more of them, are back from the last game.

You start at the bottom, big surprise, and have to work your way up by taking over control of the city. You gain crew members along the way that are helpful in most regards, and fight "boss" characters in canyon duals.
