There's no place like Space Sector 2814.

Alternate Costumes

January 3, 2010

Ah, first post of the year. Feels good.

I bought myself a PS3 as a gift for myself. I honestly don’t know why I thought I could afford it. I’m now burried in debt and extremely non-liquid. However, I am enjoying the living fuck out of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, the sole reason for my purchasing a current gen console.

It is incredibly fun! Well, for me, at least. I have to explore it a bit further for me to be able to review it fully, but as far as I can tell, it’s not really for everyone. If you’re a fan of the franchise, then by all means, pick it up. Otherwise, a seasoned gamer might not find this as engaging as other titles on the market.

The thing that caught my eye from the time the art was being released was the costume redesign for most characters. I was fucking livid. I loved the first MUA because of how accurate things were to the comic.

Howevah, my friends, check this out.

That is Iron Man’s alternate costume. His Extremis armor adaptation was already fucking awesome. With this included in the fray, it made my Pro-Registration choice that much more enjoyable.

Oh, and since the Iron Man armor is still pretty much up in the air right now, and people have been using the pre–Extremis armor (which is cool, don’t get me wrong), I’m still not sure what the next Iron Man armor is going to look like. It’s very likely that it’ll turn out to be one of the movie sets of armor, but wouldn’t it be freakin’ awesome if he went back to the basic look, but updated to look like it’d actually work, like this one? That would be effin’ sweet.
