I smiled. I grinned. But then I read the 'Wii Sports cause old people like it' bit and I totally had to laugh. Brilliant reasoning on Crystalis, too.
BulletMagnet raises a good point, not listing what is the most patriotic game to never really officially hit North America is a sin in itself. You play the President of the US! In a mech, no less! Who surfs on space debris! How that doesn't even get a mention is beyond me.
For some inexplecibale reason, I've always imagined that all Marvel heroes would be major fans of Pokémon.
Since it must be addressed...
Metal Wolf Chaos is a game about the President piloting a mech, which seems pretty awesome though I've never seen Captain America enjoying rides in giant robots. Superman or Batman however...
However, the game is actually about a man's response to a coup d'etat in which he attacks American military for the rest of the game while destroying chunks of American cities.
I'm pretty sure this would keep Captain America away from games instead of bringing him to them.

The only game on the list I actually played: Captain America and the Avengers. Hells yes to this game on the Genesis.
Personally I'd love to see him play Singstar and be belting out "What's new Pussycat" in a Tom Jones impersonation... yeah, that would make my day! :)
My favorite Captain America moment:
But now have the Punisher pissing into Spider-Man's skull and pouring the skull filled with hot piss onto Captain America's face.
Also, do you think Captain America only plays as Captain America in that arcade game? I was an Iron Man player myself.

@wolfy
See, now all I can think of is Phoenix using Moltres and it makes me smile.
@Occams
We clearly go to two different places when we read comics. I'll play the game though.
First, we know that Frank Castle is only a puss when it comes to Cap after Civil War:
This however still carries over to his Alternate world stories as he can only pull the trigger from the cowards position. Behind the head:
Sorry, but I still think Frank's too much of a puss to do that. Pissing in Spider-man's skull? Under Ennis it wouldn't surprise me.
As for Cap and the Avengers, dude totally plays as the Vision because he's too tentative to actually jump in and choose first. He'll always be stuck with the character nobody wants.
Ideally, my inner fanboy would hope he'd always choose Hawkeye after the whole Fallen Son thing, but I think he'd be stuck with lame old Vision each and every time.

Nah man you got it all wrong. After a hard day of slugging it does a factory worker come home and play Crate Loader 2: Pallet Nightmare? Cap spends all day fighting the good fight and tossing his shield around, I bet the last thing he wants to do is use his downtime to simulate more battles and disk tossing action.
Cap would probably enjoy old school platformers or something like the Bit.Runner series. Cartoonish and fun, but still challenging enough for his super human reflexes. Or maybe he casts off his humility and self control and just busts out the Rock Band, all 80's glam and stadium rock. Lead guitar and vocalist, time for Steve to get his props!
Fun list Manasteel!

Hope you know I'm just poking fun and if you love Captain America, I fully support your love. I don't get the chance often to banter as it were with people about comics and take my moments when I can. So really don't want you to be offended. Maybe I'm reading too much into your reply. Maybe the combination of this sinus headache coupled with this ridiculous wine I am drinking cause we ran out of beer is affecting my perception. I just don't know. Anyway I've heard Ed Brubaker did pretty awesome things with his run on Captain America and I like him so maybe I'll check it out one day. I love your comic posts and I hope they continue cause they are really neat.
All that being said and hopefully understood:
Oh hand down Cap is the better fighter. I mean, he has crazy Nazi combat drugs so he has to be. But Frank doesn't have the benefit of crazy Nazi combat drugs so he does what he has to do. It's not about being a puss (which is what Captain America was before he had crazy Nazi combat drugs), its about getting rid of Captain America. Cause he's awful.
Awful boring
See what I did there?
Speaking of awful, the Spider-Man skull bit was more me having a day dream but yeah, Ennis or Dave Lapham could work that in.
Did you ever play the Spider-Man arcade game? Everyone wanted to be Namor. What was up with that?

I could see Cap playing Ultimate Alliance because he's just obvious like that. Mass Effect would make sense too. He and Shepard have the whole super patriot thing in common, depending on the choices made.
Also, loved the scene in Civil War where Frank refused to fight him. It's one of the only interesting things they've ever done with the Punisher. He's pretty one-dimensional for the most part, it was nice to see him act like a human being for once.

@Sir Legendhead: Punisher is a great character if he's written that way. Garth Ennis' more serious stuff and Jason Aaron's work has been really good at making him Frank Castle and not just the Punisher if that makes any sense.
@wrench
Ummm...I work in retail and love me some Recettear....take that as you will.
Anywho, that would be kinda cool to see Cap coming home to research music of the past 50 years by playing Rock Band.
@occams
you are reading WAAAAY too much in to my reply. I was doing the critical nerd BS of how a character like the Punisher slides the pendulum so much in terms of personality that he could actually piss in the skull of Spider-man while feeling complete remorse over hurting Captain America. He goes from sad sniper to stone cold badass at the flick of a writer's pen.
Also, Drink some BEER, the box wine seems to be making you forgetful.
Also, also, hand to hand combat would depend on arena. In a one on one battle Cap would smash his face in. In a street brawl, Frank would have a slight edge just cause he's a survivor.
@sir
I liked it too, but its so hard to understand after Ennis's balls to the wall nutcase presentation. Then he had a Captain America outfit and it's just not in there. If I didn't have a comic book where he ran over Wolverine with a cement roller, I would totally think Castle could have a soft side for Cap.

@manasteel88: And this is why I am a beer drinking man. My mind tends to forget things. Like my father and my ability to read sarcasm and humor in text on a screen. I feel awkward now. Like I accidentally said fuck during my best man speech.
Which I did.
Which I did.
@Occams: But you're leaving out the best part! It was at the wrong wedding! Soooo Hugh Grant of you!
I was going to say that I just got Aaron's Punisher X-Mas Special, but um...haven't read it yet and besides, I'd hate to spoil the moment.

@DynamoJoe: Well you'd be pissy too if you had a boxed wine headache and the lingering taste of room temp chicken tenders on your breath.

As long as it is related and completely warned about, I think you should be A-OK posting funny Captain America links.

I NEED a 8-player arcade game based on Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes now. Yes, 8, so you can pick from Captain America, Iron Man, Black Panther, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Wasp, and Ant-Man/Giant-Man. Konami should make it. That'd be GOtY.
Alls I know about Captain 'merica is was nearly played by John Krasinski. John Krasinski. Infer what you will from those italics.
Moreover, Mana on my front page? That's okay by me.

OH WOW
I knew I wasn't seeing things...Kauza totally manipulated my image. I'm not saying I disapprove of the change for the front page, especially considering the day, but on the top of the image it had a sequence of three numbers that were random. I had manipulated the 3 numbers to show 07 22 11 for the date that Captain America was being released. It also had a big black bar around it that I'm totally ok with being removed.
Not sure if I like the fact that my extra work is being tossed to the side, but I can understand the reasoning.
@Red Comet
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
@Beyamor
Jim from the Office as Captain America?
Google searching.....
Wow...
I can see it after that Leatherheads flick, but man that would have been a bad choice in terms of presence. Krasinski just doesn't have presence of confidence. Cockiness sure, but not confidence.

Cap playing MGS makes more sense when you know David Hayter once VAed Cap in the Spiderman TAS back in the mid 90s.

I laughed hard at this. You are adding to my recovery from illness, you know that?

Fucking Spider-Man. Sure he already has a million games thanks to Activision but if that makes you less inclined to pick him it makes me more inclined to make fun of you using my uncanny wit and sharp threads, something in which the rest of your characters will not always have.
