By now everyone’s heard about the massive leak in Microsoft’s pipes. Amongst the flood of information about upcoming games is a few dribbles that’ll excite fans of quality superhero games. While Marvel has had a rather spotty history when it comes to the quality of their licensed video game products, none can argue that the first Ultimate Alliance wasn’t a well-crafted and fun game.

Some fan favorites will be appearing in the upcoming sequel which is set to take place in the midst of the epic ‘Civil War’ storyline, so players can expect to be battling alongside villains and fighting some heroes as well. Supposedly there’ll be a stable of over twenty characters to choose from, including Wolverine as always. The Hulk, Spider-Man, the Human Torch and Venom are among the characters mentioned. One interesting feature is that you’ll be able to ‘fuse’ two characters, creating a hybrid with the powers of both., which will eliminate the need to switch back and forth between your favorite characters. As with the previous game the title will be multiplatform; available on the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS.
