Marvel is upping the cute factor in video games. “Lego Marvel Super Heroes” is being released October 22^nd for the current gen systems and an unspecified day in November for the PS4 and Xbox One. I know it isn’t a Batman Arkham game but if you haven’t played Lego Batman 1 or 2 or the myriad number of Lego games, you should. They’re fun and addictive and they support something that’s been missing in gaming since the FPS took over. Multiplayer. Not online. I mean actually sitting next to someone and playing the game.

Marvel finally steps into the Lego world with a bang, bringing a whopping 100 playable characters. A plethora of new character reveals were made at NYCC but I only care about one playable character announcement; Aunt May. Real talk.

At NYCC they also announced a Thor: The Dark World game releasing around the same time as the movie for mobile devices. They also revealed a ton of content for their MMORPG; Marvel Heroes, a pinball simulator, Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign for Android and iOS, and a digital card battle game called Marvel War of Heroes.
