1UP's Game Night: Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Time: Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 5 p.m. PST Location: Watch the embedded video player here in this story. Questions: Ask your question in the Game Night thread.

"We're bringing it back to the old school," says executive producer Garnett Lee, talking about this week's Game Night, starring Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Both games appeared in the arcades in the late 90s, supported by a large community that continues to play them competitively. Virtual-On, developer AM 2's mech-battle game, comes out this Wednesday on Xbox Live, though Virtual-On purists may feel slightly uncomfortable playing without the game's signature Twin-Stick controller.

In addition to battling giant robots, we'll play Capcom's popular crossover-fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, with a few members of Shoryuken.com, a popular community devoted to fighting games. Capcom teased Marvel vs. Capcom 2's announcement with a cryptic website named tu4ar.com, but if you've played Marvel, and listened to its ridiculously catchy -- and odd -- character select song, you'll uncover the acronym ("...take you for a ride!). Watch this video, backed by Yikes' hilarious commentary, for just a sample of Marvel vs. Capcom's 2 insane gameplay
