Today Capcom announced Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 for November 2011, an updated version of Marvel vs Capcom 3 which came out in February. So far the only officially announced new characters for the updated version are Strider (Capcom), Firebrand (Capcom), Ghost Rider (Marvel), and Hawkeye (Marvel).

Joystiq noticed that art for character profiles was on Capcom’s web server and was able to download the full list of new characters. Capcom has since taken them down, but it seems likely this is the final lineup.
Capcom: Strider, Firebrand, Vergil, Frank West, Phoenix Wright, Nemesis
Marvel: Ghost Rider, Dr Strange, Nova, Rocket Raccoon, Hawkeye, Iron Fist

The first DLC character for Transformers: Dark of the Moon is now available. Sideswipe is available for 80 spacebucks, which by my estimate is roughly a dollar. The PS3 version is similarly 99 cents. You know what I have to say to that?

Here are some screenshots of what this character looks like:

It was first hinted at by a panel description for SDCC 2011, happening this weekend, but we now have a trailer to share and more information to be revealed at SDCC. THQ is bringing Voltron: Defender of the Universe to XBox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network. Retailing for about ten dollars, the game will feature 5 player co-op, 2 player co-op offline, and single player modes.

We will share more information as it comes out of the convention this weekend!

Welcome to Powetracks! aDam and Zac talk their love of Bioshock over the footage of Bioshock Infinite. We make a lot of boob comments and are very impressed by the game. Watch and listen for our insights!

If you want the original game footage without our comments (if you missed it the first time), you can Watch 15 Minutes of Bioshock Infinite NOW. Enjoy.

Future Powetracks will include commentary on full legnth movies, the first planned is Masters of the Universe, the original 1987 live action film based on the popular He-Man action figures. Order up your DVD now, the commentary track will be available next month!

Be sure to leave a comment with your thoughts on Bioshock Infinite and Powetracks!

Because it bears repeating: Bioshock is one of the best games of this, or any, generation. Its available on PS3, XBox 360, PC, or Mac. If you haven’t played it, you simply must.

Irrational Games gave us a tiny slice of Bioshock Infinite, their follow up to the original, at E3 last month. Behind closed doors, they showed invited guests more than the 90 second teaser, but 15 minutes of gameplay. Showcasing not only the action (which is crazy!) but the characters of the game (who are interesting!). New powers are expected, but this scene truly shows how special Elizabeth is. Also, the ‘big daddy’ of this game is called the Song Bird and he’s pretty awesome looking.

If this early look is willing to spill this much of the game out in front of us, I think we can expect a lot of surprises in the final release, due in 2012.

It is almost impossible to believe a fan made this. Its not an official Valve video. Don’t be shocked if they hire him. It has got humor and great animation inspired by the game.

Obviously, as this is the end credits song from the game, the above video may include story spoilers for those who have not completed the Portal 2.

Without further delay, here is Part 2 of our comprehensive 9somewhat) look at Sonic the Hedgehog’s 20 years in the gaming industry, as we take a deeper look into the rest of the games of the series, including a few not-as-well known games, and also delve a bit into how the franchise may be able to pick itself up after so many mistakes in the past.
