Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet

My two boys love all things Marvel, but based on their age Marvel Super Hero Squad is their only avenue currently.  Well it seems that THQ has announced Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet for the Xbox 360/PS3/Wii/Nintendo DS which will follow the second season of the animated series.  It will have bunches of new things for you to do and I am most looking forward to co-op Mode.  When you have three people all wanting to play at once, a co-op mode is definitely the best way to go.  These are the sorts of games that I am always looking to play with the kids because most of the titles out there are guaged for a older audience.  You can check out the press release below.
