Soul calibur 5

5. Soul calibur's  story takes 17 years after events of 4th
game and in that time many things has been changed.
Sophitia Alexandra's kids Patrokolos and pyrrha has
been grewn and took their roles in story i will tell later about, Kilik, Xianghua and Taki got new followers , Astaroth and Yoshimitsu got new followers with exactly same name and Darth Vader lost his place as quest character to new one, ezio Auditore da Firenze.

Gameplay
Gaming is almost same  as in other previous games
Ezio gives his all to siegfried
except that fact, that this is easier to play. For example, in previous games you had to do god-knows-what things to make critical finish, but now all you need, is full energy meter and then moving joystick as you would make
shinku hadouken from street fighter and pressing r2 button (that is for Ps3, i don't
know, how it is on xbox360). Arcade mode for difference, has five ways of clearing, but it has no goddamn endings that used to be in previous games.

Characters
One thing that is also different, is characters. Some characters like old-good Maxi, Mitsurugi, Servantes, Ivy, Raphael and old tekken rip-off Yoshimitsu hasn't much. Raphael, Voldo and Servantes are okay with it, they are vampire, puppet and undead, but others have maybe found philosopher's
stone and are immortals? At least Siegfried have aged throughout the game
from left to right: z.w.e.i., Natsu, Maxi and Ivy
series. As i mentioned earlier, Sophitia, Kilik, Xianghua and Taki have
been replaced with Patrokolos, Pyrrha, Xiba, Leixia and Natsu, but also
there is new ones, such as werewolf/shamanic guy z.w.e.i.,
mystical girl Viola, beard guy
Edge master and angel-like Elysium.

 Others
Story mode is kinda lame,where you can barely see quarter of all the charaters and play with even less of them. It tells about kids of Sophitia, Pyrrha and Patrokolos, who got separated in early years and has to have to fight each other, since Patrokolos got holy soul calibur in his posession, while Pyrhha got
on posession of dread soul edge. In story they also try to do not they have faithed. And one thing is still unchanged is character creation! There you can make your own heroes and heralds based on main character styles, like
katana kitty, rip-off of scorpion, Abraham Lincoln or new costumes to main characters, except Ezio, which is pity thing.

Overall 7.5/10
game's not bad, but it lacks much previous games had.
Has nice music, stages and it looks good anyway.

Ultimate marvel vs capcom 3

General
I've borrowed this game from my friend and what can i say?
It was pretty awesome though i don't get it, why it had to make
a whole new game after marvel vs capcom 3, just to add new 12 new characters and outlook, when they could just make them a DLC.But, amongst the old gang, like spider-man, Ryu, wesker, old good Deadpool,
"your mom must be very proud of you."

Dormammu and Dante, there is added such new persons, like 
sorcerer supreme Dr. Strange, demon firebrand, Dante's brother Vergil, cocky but funny rocket raccoon, martial marts master iron fist
and to real general astonishment, Lawyer phoenix wright, who is kinda good one.

Gameplay
Particularly game hasn't changed a bit, except it got a new outfit, few new
 stages, arcade endings and a new game mode Heroes and Heralds, where you choose between being good or bad guy, and either defend earth from attack of Galactus,or help him to conquer it. And yes, Galactus is still boss of the arcade mode, though after gaining some scores you can actually play as Galactus and try to destroy both Marvel and capcom dimensions, when worlds main bad guys, Dr. Doom (Marvel) and Albert wesker (Capcom) fuse them together just
with new characters you can now make even better teams
to give player a good gaming time. it's good in single-player, but is better
with good playmate or online.

Overall
New characters  are nice, especially i like
Dr. Strange or vergil, new  stages aren't really astonishing and
new costume DLCs are pretty good, but i still
would choose Skyrim between these two.

grade: 8,5/10
new characters are nice, also themes, outlook and gamemodes,
but paying 30.00e for these improvements is a madness, except
if you got enough money from old MvC3 to buy this one for a
lesser cost.
