Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 - Xbox 360

At this year's E3, we tracked down Guha Bala, President of Vicarious Visions, to get the inside story on important super-hero video game Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. The game is closing in on its beta date, kids, although we don't have an exact release date yet.

According to Bala, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 features 24 playable characters right out of the box, with more on the way as DLC. "Yeah, but which of my very most favorite Marvel super heroes will be included?" you might ask. How's this: Old Ultimate Alliance favorites Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and Hulk will be joined by newcomers Songbird and Iron Fist. New for E3 is the revelation that Deadpool is a playable hero and Venom and Juggernaut (biotch!) are playable villains.
