This Friday Nintendo unveiled the New 3DS to the world, and to start off given the title of this piece, I really like the look of the new system: I love the colorful buttons, the size dimensions seem great, I’m ecstatic over the inclusion of the new GameCube-esque second analog nipple for camera movement, but as…
Ask many what their problem with movie or licensed video games is and you’ll probably see some of the following: It’s a rushed cash-in job that’s not very fun to play and it isn’t very long, and both would be correct a very high percentage of the time, especially in the 16-bit era. Almost every…
Ninja Theory has been a studio with barely a handful of games released in the last console generation, yet the small number of releases from them is dwarfed exponentially by the quality of their output: Heavenly Sword, an early PS3 console exclusive, was a tad anemic from a gameplay standpoint but made up for it…
The Sunsoft produced Batman NES games in my opinion were two of the best games on the system: They have great graphics, tight play control, a phenomenal soundtrack, and just the right amount of difficulty to get your pulse pounding, but not quite enough to make you throw your controller at the floor.

Spider-Man has a history on the Nintendo DS handheld going back as far to the systems launch in 2004 with Spider-Man 2. Since the inception of the machine, hardly a year has gone by where the web-slinging wonder hasn’t made an appearance and a lot of the titles featuring the character are great games, including…
Up to this point the only release date we’ve been given for the much anticipated Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham from WB and TT Games is “Fall 2014.” The game has been given a release date, albeit overseas in the UK, of November 14th 2014. This doesn’t help folks like myself here in Canada, but…
5 years, wow. Today marks the fifth anniversary of the 2009 release of Batman: Arkham Asylum, the Batman game that changed the way we look at comic book games and in many ways lead to the development of this site. A lot has happened in five years for me: I’ve changed jobs, friends have gotten…
If you’ll recall from my review of this game on the SNES, I’m probably one of the few people in the world who took it easy on this game, despite knowing full well its myriad problems. Finishing this game, a feat I once thought impossible, is something that I will always look back fondly upon…
If you’ve been paying attention to your app updates (as I know you’ve already downloaded the game, right?) for Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon, you’ll find two new characters to recruit into your roster of Guardians: Angela and The Incredible Hulk in his “Planet Hulk” Gladiator garments. This marks the first time Angela…
This fall marks the first animated feature from Disney based on a Marvel property, Big Hero 6. As part of the marketing blitz for that film, the characters will be coming to Disney Infinity 2.0, with the first two having been revealed as Hiro and Baymax: What’s curious is that the two are market…
