Super Cross Overs

Crossovers are definitely in fashion these days. Well, mostly if you're Capcom. Just last year Capcom released Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and next year they're putting out the game we've been waiting a decade for: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (a game that has two character wishlists here in Awesome Town. One by guest blogger Morgan Kent and one by yours truly). And now, a year after Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, we'll probably see release of the recently announced Street Fighter Vs. Tekken crossover game.

Perhaps inspired by Capcom's Cornucopia of crossovers on the way, an artist named David Stonecipher has made some crossover art. Stonecipher drew a series of pictures depicting superheroes meeting famous videogame heroes. Pictures such as this one of Superman and Super Mario:

Or this one of Batman meeting a fellow stealthy, deadly serious and gruff-voiced warrior: Solid Snake:

Here are two big monster guys, Donkey Kong and The Hulk:

And finally, here's Spiderman--whom Capcom oddly hasn't announced yet for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3--teaming up with a somewhat lesser known videogame guy: Just Cause's protagonist Rico Rodriguez. That team-up is because both Rico and Spider-Man zip around using grappling hook type things. Spider-man has his webs and Rico's got his stunt.


P.S: Just Cause 2 is one of the most fun games to dick around in of all time. It's like Grand Theft Auto, but even more ridiculous and thus even more entertaining.

I highly recommend downloading The Just Cause 2 demo, which is available on the Playstation Networks and Xbox Lives of the world. It's free fun. And, the Just Cause 2 demo is re-playable in a way most demos aren't. You can keep returning to it for awesome paramilitary sandbox adventures.
