Well, we're three months into the year now and there's been a fairly steady flow of interesting new titles to play, in addition to a few re-released and/or reimagined classics. This past week saw the release of another Marvel collection, this one featuring an assortment of legendary beat 'em ups, including Konami's 1992 X-Men arcade smash hit; as well as multiple versions of Data East's 1991 arcade title, Captain America and the Avengers; and Acclaim's 1994 Spider-Man and Venom 16-bit console release, Maximum Carnage. For those not in the know, these were not only the greatest Marvel titles to come out of the first half of the '90s, but some of the greatest games of that era, period.
Also out in the past two months, a pretty epic-looking high fantasy action-adventure title from South Korean studio, Pearl Abyss; a Tribute-developed follow-up to the(ir) incredible 2010 beat 'em up, Scott Pilgrim vs the World (the game); and a scary-good new entry to the monster Resident Evil franchise. EXperience the definitive retro archive, then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 8 weeks.
