For all of Dredd Month I’ve looked at Judge Dredd games from the past, so to close out the event, I’d like to look into the potential future for the character in the video game world. 1) POINT ONE: JUDGE DREDD WOULD MAKES A GREAT FPS CHARACTER If Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs. Death and Judge…
Ever since the “Toys-to-life” genre was kickstarted with the original Skylanders back in 2011, I’ve been dreading the day when anyone would apply that model to a property I care about, as if there’s two things I love to collect, it’s video games and action figures. Last year Disney jumped into the game with the first…
A rather…random assortment of characters were just revealed to be making an appearance in Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham at EGX Developer Sessions. The first two are no stranger to fans of the CW’s Arrow: Deadshot from the Suicide Squad and Deathstroke. Joining them are Kalibak, Polka-Dot Man and the Music Meister: Of course, not…
A couple of weeks back I wrote a feature about what expansion sets I wanted to see in Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. Just as I hit the publish button, I silently said “Oh, sh–!!” as I just thought of one more that could be really great: Batman Beyond. Someone at TT Games appears to…
Sunsoft perhaps gave us one of the largest number of Batman games of any company. There first outing, Batman: The Video Game on the NES, was an example of how great a Batman game can be, and stands as one of the all time classics in the NES library. Given how well that game turned out,…
With the release of Disney Infinity, I’ve been reading a lot of great stories on various web sites about adults recovering the joy they had playing with action figures as a kid, a sentiment I’m definitely feeling even after only putting a few hours into the 2.0 edition yesterday evening. With the anticipation I felt…
Today’s the day true believers! The day when Disney destroys the wallets of Marvel loving video game fans with Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel Super Heroes. I wasn’t able to track down a collector’s edition due to the availability being limited to online only orders in Canada, however I did indulge in every other figure I…
After playing through the Batman efforts produced by Sunsoft not on the NES, I had extremely low expectations going into their first Batman game on the Game Boy, one of the earliest games on the system no less. Maybe it’s because I played Batman: Revenge of the Joker prior to playing this or perhaps it’s…
How do you make something awesome, move it to arguably superior hardware, and then somehow make it worse?!! This is the case with Batman: Revenge of the Joker, a carbon copy of the excellent Batman: Return of the Joker on the NES. Walking into this game I had two assumptions: The first that this was going…
When can a bad game be great? It’s an interesting conundrum, yet it happens from time to time. Despite having multiple qualities that makes your brain scream “why are you playing this?!!” you somehow find yourself endeared to a beautiful train wreck. I’m bringing this up because Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs. Death is a bad…
