Growing up I was a huge video game magazine reader and I loved reading issues of Nintendo Power and Electronic Gaming Monthly at the start of the year where they would have a big preview of all the great games expected to arrive in the next twelve months any beyond. With a lot of great comic book games either…
It’s Christmas time and that means that 2015 is coming to a rapid close. With New Years just around the corner, it’s time to take a look back at the year that was 2015, and while admittedly there’s not much to talk about in the space of comic book video games, there’s still some awards…
1996. Nineteen years before The Force Awakens, three years before the start of the dreaded “prequel trilogy” and even before the slippery slope of remasters where the phrase “Greedo shot first” got its origin. In 1996 Lucasfilm set to expand the Star Wars canon with a multimedia project that would span a novel, a comic book series, and…
Between the rumour that Japanese developer Platinium is possibly making a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game and the new trailer that was released for 2016’s Out of the Shadows, it put me in a Turtles mood and I decided to revisit the game that started it all: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Konami/Ultra for the NES. Buy why look back…
And with the final review of Turok (2008) on Xbox 360, The Year of Acclaim comes to an end. Over the past twelve months I’ve looked at fifteen games through multiple console, handhelds and console generations. While some of the games I’ve looked at have confirmed that certain games are bonafided classics or huge surprises, others are…

It’s funny in hindsight because I remember being in my second year of highschool when the PlayStation 2 came out, and I was nothing but underwhelmed by its line-up and prospects.…
Back when the PlayStation first game out, I honestly had no idea what it was. At the time there was an arcade that had just launched in Canada called Playdium and I legitmately thought they were the same thing. I had no knowledge of the botched SNES add-on vaporware that never happened, and in my mind…
I didn’t grow up writing. In fact, in school I was much better at subjects like math, science, or geography, any subject really where creativity took a back seat to memorizing formulas or facts. Those were the classes that got me my exam exemptions that afforded me more time to ride my bike around my…
Through the month of July, I’ve looked at all the Fantastic Four games across several generations of consoles and handhelds. While of the seven games I’ve looked at I would only really recommended you at least try two of them, some are definitely better than the rest. To close out Fantastic Four month, here’s the…
Batman: Arkham Knight has been out for a week now and if you’re of the lucky people who have been playing it (sorry, PC folk….) it’s always nice to get a helping hand, especially given how big this game is. I’m sure there are people now who have finished the game up or are at varying…
