| Marvel vs. Capcom Origins – Arcade History With Contemporary Upgrades |
|
 |
It’s not unusual for a company to trot out their back catalog, though how well this is received depends on how good the games in question are and how well they’re presented. Marvel vs. Capcom Origins presents players with a pair of CPS-2 arcade titles for $15, Marvel Super Heroes (1995, “MSH” for short) and [...] |
| Dead or Alive 5 Lives Up to Bold Claims |
|
 |
Dead or Alive 5 has the deck stacked against it, hitting shelves mere weeks after Tekken Tag Tournament 2 released. The series also suffers from a deep stigma in certain circles, and I received several teasing or outright harassing messages from people who noticed I was playing this game.

| Skullgirls – An Excellent Game Overcomes Its Odd Artwork and Rush to Market |
|
 |
Skullgirls is in the difficult position of being an indie title in a genre where players are still going to compare it to retail games. Players aren’t going to give it a free ride because of its lower budget or the lead designer being fellow tournament player. The obvious, tough question is: “Why should I [...] |
