Marvel Heroes Omega Hits PS4 With a Beta

If you ever played the Ultimate Alliance or X-Men Legends games you might want to checkout the free-to- play Marvel Heroes Omega game now available on PS4. This was on PC for years but now is making its console debut (XBOX One will be getting the game on June 20th). I tried this on my laptop years ago and liked it until my laptop crapped out so I am stoked to get to play it again on my PS4. If you know you liked it from playing the PC version or just want a bit of a head start there are a few founder's packs available starting at $20 that will give you access to characters, skins, in-game currency, and boosts. You can get Daredevil for free and if you have PS Plus there is an alternate Daredevil rocking the all black street clothes look. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!

While you are gaming it up make sure you look the part with one of our rad tee's! Whether you are right hooking as Daredevil or slamming some fools as a Baby Groot we got you covered!

Impressions of For Honor

This weekend there was a Beta for For Honor and since it is a game that looked pretty interesting from E3 I decided to give it a go. When I first saw For Honor I was immediately drawn to it. I mean knights, vikings ,and my personal choice samurai doing battle seems like a perfect fit for a guy who has read 3 books on Musashi. These were real books to not graphic novels so yea I am a fan of this stuff. The combat is simple enough to draw you in with attacks coming from either side or over the top and blocking being done the same way. You get an indicator of where your opponent will go for so you can defend and attack with either a light or strong attack of your own. This game has been set up non-ironically to be all about honor and the one on one duels as you capture and defend set points. When you destroy a group of enemy A.I. soldiers (which you will do very easily) and get to the enemy point and have to methodically attack and defend against another play the game is at its best. The problem is that doesn't happen as much as it should. The majority of battles were a 2 on 1 in which case see ya or if you had the advantage the enemy will run back to get a health at their point or lead you to a few of their buddies. Which in a game makes sense but it seems like the developers really expected this game to be played with honor to a point that people will look to challenge each other one on one or if there is a number advantage to wait until the duel is finished then step in to fight the victor but not to gang up on the other players. That will never happen. People are pretty awful and any time you are playing online against people there will be a nonstop group of trolls and people just looking to be dicks and this game was  full of that at least in the beta. There is a Revenge mechanic that seems to be the developers admitting that you will indeed be gang banged often (you know when a gang of vikings would bangs their swords on their shields in battle yea that's where the term comes from... fun fact to tell your friends). It is helpful but still just seems to be a way of the game to say "saw you got destroyed there so here is a chance to feel good for a few seconds. For Honor is a cool way to try a multiplayer experience but as with soo many rad ideas it seems people might just be the worst and end up ruining it. Hopefully things will be tinkered with and fixed much like how The Division had updates to help make the dark zone bearable.  I enjoyed the combat and the idea enough that I am still interested but it want be a day one buy for me. I will let it go for a bit and see how the community develops a bit before i fully jump in. For Honor releases on February 14 if you want to check it out yourself and if you haven't seen it yet here is a gameplay clip.

Avengers Assemble For A New Game!!

Square Enix has just announced an Avengers video game. First thought reading that was we are getting an rpg but it will be published by Square Enix and developed by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. Crystal Dynamics has been doing the latest (and best imo) Tomb Raider games and Eidos Montreal has not only helped out with both of those recent releases but also handle the Deus Ex games. Now looking just at those 2 franchises I am immediately hopeful. Both Tomb Raider and Deus Ex have been scoring in the high 80's and low 90's so these studios know what they are doing and those games are action based but varied enough that I feel like they can cover the mechanics of the different Avengers. The teaser doesn't reveal too much yet but the theme seems to be about the Avengers coming back together after what looks like a breakup or bad defeat. It ends with #REASSEMBLE so what happened to the gang and how will they come back together? Check out the teaser below and let us know know what you want to see!

Pretty intense right? and just for shits and giggles lets also enjoy the trailer for the Spider-Man Insomniac game announced at E3 last summer. Looks like Marvel has a decent chance of some good games coming up.

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Extended Trailer

There is a new trailer for MvC and it is mostly what we have seen but this one has 2 new character reveals. Morrigan and Cap himself pop up at the :49 second mark. This brings us to 6 fighters that have been announced so far. This game looks rad already and you can pick up Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 on PS4 if you haven't check that one out on last gen's consoles now to get yourself ready. Who do you want to see in this new version? There will be a few spots to fill since we won't be getting any of the mutants from Marvel due to licensing issues so who can step in and take on Ryu and the gang now?
