Neo Geo Battle Coliseum Xbox Live Arcade Review
You’ve got to feel for the few surviving SNK stalwarts out there. While Capcom not only revitalised the fighting genre with Street Fighter IV but continues to tease gamers and comic geeks alike with the dream match extravaganza that is Marvel vs. Capcom 3, SNK Playmore has only further alienated its niche fanbase.

E3 has been seen some true gaming gems unveiled this week, but the real highlight for me had to be the decent amount of gameplay footage from the long-anticipated Marvel vs Capcom 3, and finally some videos of the ubiquitous Merc with the Mouth in action.

The Guild #1 (of 3) Comic Book Review
Dark Horse, $3.50
Story: Felicia Day
Art: Jim Rugg
