If you were a fan of Hellgate: London (not many were) - then you were probably looking forward to a re-launch of the game in West by the IP owner Hanbitsoft.

For instance, if I would like an 800 game, which is equivalent to $10, I am required to buy at least a $20, 1600 card. Or, I could go for a 400 game, with the same point purchase requirement. Along with Xbox DLC, this leaves me with a perpetual balance, that I may, or may not ever fully drain.

One of the most unique aspects of the upcoming co-op Action/RPG Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is the ability for any two characters to "fuse" powers together. What this does is it combines any two superhero powers into a devastating attack that's a mix of the two.
