The two games I have spent the most time with since purchasing a PSP for the third time last month have been Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and Yu-Gi-Oh. Yes, Yu-Gi-Oh. Shut up. I'm just a big ol' fan of comics and card games, which is why I am very excited about the upcoming Marvel Trading Card Game from Yu-Gi-Oh publisher Konami. Based off of Upper Deck's Vs. System, the game features online and offline play in three flavors: PC, DS, and PSP. The PSP and computer players can even fight cross-platform, while DS players have to deal with Nintendo's friend code system. Konami is promising tournament support with real prizes, along with the capability to buy and trade cards via the game's online store.

Aw man, the game's story mode has a chapter that features Moon Knight. I have to buy it now. I'll buy anything that features Moon Knight, America's favorite former mercenary son of a rabbi turned pagan crimefighter with MPD.

Ryan over at Marvel.com has posted a ton of images from all versions over on their site, as well as a little more detail on the game's features. Head over there to check them out! Michael Fahey
