Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2's Character & Sim Mission Pack, which returned in July after being taken off both console download services for six months, is going, going gone once again. The DLC's getting yanked at the end of the year.

After disappearing from Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network months after its release, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 downloadable content returns, making Magneto, Black Panther, Carnage, Psylocke, and Cable available for purchase once more, but only for a limited time.

With at least one potential game of the year exclusively nesting on the Playstation 3 and a price drop under its belt, the PS3 has had a pretty darn good year.

New Halo, new downloadables for Mass Effect, Fallout 3, and Grand Theft Auto, new Forza. It was a pretty good year for Xbox 360 owners.

Master of Magnetism Magneto joins the lineup of five new heroes as Activision releases a new downloadable content pack for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

T'Challa, leader of the fictional African Wakandan nation, bearer of the Black Panther mantle, and husband to the X-Men's Storm, joins Carnage, Psylocke, and Cable as a new downloadable character for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

The Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 DLC package announced last week has been dated and priced for the Xbox 360 and PS3. It arrives Nov. 5 on both consoles in North America, and on Nov. 12 for the PS3 in Europe.

Carnage was pretty cool, but I'm really glad Psylocke's getting a shot at Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

Cletus Kasady, AKA Carnage, is making his way to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, and he's much more than another Spider-Man clone.
