Doctor Strange and Nemesis debut in new Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 trailers

By Rick Marshall Published August 17, 2011

Okay, so the big reveal of more playable characters in Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 isn’t exactly a surprise, given that images of most of the characters were leaked last month right about the same time the game was announced. Still, it’s one thing to know their identities, and another to actually see them in action.

In a pair of new Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 teasers released during Gamescom, two of the aforementioned playable characters show off their moves in a fast-moving, tag-team brawl. In one of the unlikeliest duels in fictional history, Marvel’s sorcerer supreme, Doctor Strange, squares off against the Umbrella Corporation’s bazooka-wielding brute, Nemesis.

In the game footage, the pair are assisted in their efforts by the previously introduced new additions to the game’s lineup: Hawkeye, Ghost Rider, Firebrand, and Strider.

Oh, and we’re fairly certain Doctor Strange uses “Spell-o-vision” as one of his attacks, but we might’ve heard that wrong. (We’re pretty sure it’s not “Smell-o-vision,” because that would just be ridiculous.)

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will hit shelves in November as a new retail package instead of online DLC, so if you’re eager to beat down your buddies using the ol’ Eye of Agamatto, get ready to drop $39.99 for the opportunity.

How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

It won't take long before The Zone teaches you one very important tip for surviving in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is to avoid fighting whenever possible. You can only carry so many resources, and prolonged fights can leave you with almost nothing left. And that's if you even manage to survive. There are some fights you just can't get around, though, but going in guns blazing isn't the best strategy. There's a handy stealth kill mechanic in Stalker 2, but you won't find it in any of the tutorials.
How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

You have the ability to stealth kill right off the bat, though it is not something the game will ever explain or tell you. It works how you would think, but is tricky enough to pull off that you might not think it's possible even if you try the right thing.

Game spending is up — and you can thank Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Most of us knew that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would be one of the biggest games of the year, but it's so big that it's doing a lot to boost games sales across the U.S.

This information comes from Circana (formerly NPD Group), which publishes a monthly report on U.S. video game spending. According to analyst Mat Piscatella, spending on hardware, software, and accessories was up 10% in October compared to the same time last year, and the spike was "primarily" driven by the release of Black Ops 6. Non-mobile video game subscription service spending was also up by 16%.
