@liam82517 : This is true,hopefully the (fairly closely release) double titles of Captain America and Thor (which will hopefully learn from the bad reviews on other systems) will be either the exception or trend towards the better..there are few good action games out for 3ds yet so hopefully these will be good as Sega knows since there are so few out there for 3ds yet that they will have a lot riding on their shoulders.
Spider-Man: Edge of Time, X-Men Destiny tap Hollywood talent
Activision enlists film icon Val Kilmer, Smallville star Laura Vandervoort, Battlestar Galactica lieutenant Katee Sackhoff, and more for upcoming games.
Megapublisher Activision signed Hollywood icons Sarah Michelle Gellar, Danny Trejo, George Romero, Michael Englund, and Michael Rooker for the new zombie level in Call of Duty: Black Ops' Escalation downloadable content. Now, the publisher is reaching to Hollywood again for Spider-Man: Edge of Time and X-Men: Destiny.

Additionally, the new Spider-Man game casts Smallville star Laura Vandervoort as Mary Jane and Battlestar Gallactica's Katee Sackhoff as the Black Cat.
As for X-Men: Destiny, Activision has commissioned Milo Ventimiglia (Gilmore Girls, Heroes) to play Grant Alexander, Hangover II's Jamie Chung as Aimi Yoshida, and Friday Night Lights' Scott Porter as Adrian Luca.
