    Not being a fan of this genre, I found myself engaged in reliving some fond memories of heroes and villains I nearly forgot about.

    Marvel TCG does a nice job of bringing the battle home for fans, but won't pull many new devotees to the fold.

I wanted to love this, instead play it seems like work. Shame really. Perhaps a DC version (should it ever come) can rectify things.… Expand

    Great example of how-not-to-design a videogame. Instead of adapting a card game to take advantage of a console they tried to replicate the physical card play experience on a console.
