Weekly Recap April 24th: LittleBigPlanet 2 Spill, Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Coming, New Halo

The week started off slow and a bit dull on the news front, but then things started getting interesting and by interesting I mean someone working on the upcoming LittleBigPlanet sequel spilling the beans that the game is actually on the way. If that’s not good enough news for you then I'm sure fighting fans will get a huge kick out of knowing that Capcom unveiled the long-awaited Marvel Vs Capcom 3, which could be considered one of the biggest fighting game sequels of the entire decade. And if all of the aforementioned still doesn’t tickle your fancy, try gulping down the fact that Bungie may not be done with the Master Chief and the Halo franchise. Yep, believe it or not there could be yet another Halo game in the works and you’ll have to read the whole article to find out what the new Halo might be like.
