Marvel Ultimate Alliance’s chiefest pull as a franchise is the freedom with which players are able to combine characters and create their own personalized teams of superheroes. Co-op is therefore where Marvel Ultimate Alliance features the most longevity as players can drop in and out of co-op willingly; otherwise, a four-person team can be comprised of one player and three AI teammates. Recently, a fan’s artistic concept shows what a modern remake of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance could look like....

As seen below in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s launch trailer, practically every single one of the base game’s 30 different characters receives some screen time, with the developers also making sure to show off the various modes and features available in the title upon release. To be specific, the footage touts the title’s 2v2 combat, its cinematic story mode, the gameplay-altering Infinity Stones, as well as its arcade mode....

Marvin Vettori put on the performance of a lifetime at UFC Vegas 16, defeating top-5 ranked contender Jack Hermansson by unanimous decision to likely earn himself a spot in the upper half of the middleweight rankings. Apart from his rise in the division, it looks like Vettori wants to see himself on the latest installment of the EA UFC video game. Talking to Megan Olivi post-fight, Vettori made it known that he wants to be in the EA UFC 4 video game immediately:...

Donald teased a return to the campaign trail after leaving office in January, promising supporters would be “happy” with his decision. The leading contender for the Republican nomination for president, he hasn’t committed to mounting a bid for the White House, instead focusing his attention on helping Republicans win back control of Congress.

The 32-year-old is charged with violating Maryland’s revenge porn statute, the state prosecutor said. Bradshaw is accused of making numerous accounts containing parts of the victim’s name and birthdate to post nude images of her without her consent on the forum website Reddit, according to court documents.

However, these aren’t the only big changes that fans can expect when Andromeda launches on PC and consoles next month, as the game is also set to be much longer than its predecessor. After a fan told Mass Effect: Andromeda lead designer Ian Frazier that they’d needed two days to complete ME3, Frazier revealed in a tweet that players would “need more days for this one.” Frazier didn’t offer any estimates about how long the game would take to complete, but some are already booking entire weeks off of work to play the game as a result....

This is according to Mac Walters, the lead writer of the Mass Effect franchise at BioWare, who spoke to IGN at The Game Awards in Los Angeles. Walters admitted that the monumental task of creating a trilogy of games where player choice mattered from one entry to the next made it especially difficult to create an ending for Mass Effect 3 that would leave all fans satisfied. That’s partly why Mass Effect: Andromeda isn’t going to be the first game in a new trilogy....

The achievement/trophy “Tactician” is listed in the Mass Effect 2 list as a part of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Its requirements are listed as “hit 20 different targets with multiple biotic powers to combine the effects.” While this may seem relatively straightforward, it can prove to be tricky if the player doesn’t have the proper abilities and skills to make it happen. Unlocking “Tactician” gives the player 10 gamerscore on Xbox or a bronze trophy on PS4/PS5....

Those who have yet to experience Mass Effect 2 and are following through on the Origin deal will be pleased to know that many consider it to be one of the top games of the last generation. With this being the case, being able to retrieve a free copy of the game’s PC version is a pretty good deal overall. In addition to the EA Origin deal for Mass Effect 2 on PC, Xbox One fans can currently enjoy the title on the console due to BioWare making the game available via the system’s backward compatible program....

Considering the many differences between Mass Effect and Star Wars, however, many fans may be surprised at just how much influence was taken from the series during the game’s early development. Star Wars influenced Mass Effect 2’s initial character concepts in many, many ways. RELATED: Mass Effect 2’s Cut Asari Spectre Has Major Among Us Vibes The Many Influences Of Mass Effect 2 Mac Walters recently discussed the “legacy party members doc,” which contained many initial concepts for the characters who would accompany Shepard on Mass Effect 2’s suicide mission to the Omega Relay....

General criticism aside, there was one major missed opportunity in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Despite being another galaxy, one deemed capable of having a golden world (though that was before the Scourge), it does very little to introduce anything new to the game, at least in the way of races. Mass Effect 5 may take place in Andromeda again, it may find some strange way to forget it and return to the Milky Way (abandoning it), or it even make take place in a brand new galaxy....

The Salarian scientist is one of the most beloved characters in the history of the Mass Effect series. His eccentric personality and robotic delivery could’ve easily made him one of the more annoying characters in the series, but it’s a testament to the sharp character writing and endearing personality of Mordin Solus that he’s become a standout character in a trilogy full to the brim with excellent characters. The fact that people are willing to get incredibly detailed tattoos of Mordin is a testament to his iconic stature....

Marvel recently unveiled its first-ever Halloween special, Werewolf by Night. This special presentation will be premiering on Disney Plus during the spooky season.

The art is brought to us by Alice X. Zhang, an accomplished artist that has worked on many well-known projects across the entertainment industry. Her portfolio includes works commissioned from Marvel, Star Wars, Disney Books, and even the sequel to Naughty Dog’s 2013 masterpiece, The Last of Us Part 2. While Zhang does not officially work on the HBO production, she put her talents to good use with these excellent new depictions of unforgettable characters....

The synchronicity and cohesiveness of this WandaVision fan art shared by Blushweaver, from first glance, appears as if it couldn’t possibly be done by two different artists. Perhaps it is the fact that they are relatives, but the overall tone and consistency of the artwork are pretty remarkable. WandaVision fills in the gaps as to what happened after the chaotic events in Avengers: Endgame. The series as a concept is about being forced to hide what makes you unique and different from the rest of the world in order to survive....

RELATED: Marvel Heroes Who Are Extremely Manipulative Packing the many different characters of the superhero warehouse wouldn’t be a simple task, as the MCU and the series on Disney+ have barely scratched the surface. However, putting these characters in various segments helps the fans understand their core strengths while those new to the Marvel world are introduced to new heroes. Such one segment is Speed! 10 Mystique Mystique of the X-men world is a blue-skinned shape-shifting mutant falling on the war table’s right side....

Crystal Dynamics has revealed 1,000,000 BC Hulk with a brief video detailing various features of the new outfit to coincide with its addition to the in-game store. Hulk 1,000,000 BC is part of the Stone Age Avengers team who fittingly protected Earth from a horde-infected celestial during ancient times. Because of this drastic theme change compared to Hulk’s appearance in Marvel’s Avengers, this 1,000,000 BC Hulk differs significantly beyond its move set, making it more like a tangible alteration from the standard Hulk than some other cosmetics....
