When the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance came out in 2006, a DS SKU was noticeably absent. There was a PSP game that was more or less a direct conversion of the PS2/Wii game with the usual compromises, but if you wanted to play MUA on a Nintendo handheld, you had to stick with the watered down beat-em-up that was…
Last month saw the release of the awesome Marvel Battlegrounds playset for Disney Infinity 3.0 as well as a slew of new figures and a set of power discs. The game is not even a month old and the folks at Marvel games are already teasing new content for the multiplayer brawler. On Tuesday Bill Rosemann, creative director for Marvel…
When it was released in January, Lego Marvel’s The Avengers covered nearly every corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a big, or tiny, exception: Ant-Man. The first post Avengers: Age of Ultron film was notably absent from the game, that is, until today. For PlayStation owners, you can now download the Ant-Man level pack for Lego Marvel’s The Avengers…
If you’ve stumbled across my website, read my work, liked an article or even commented, chances are you really like comic book themed video games. If you’ve become a fan, first of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and secondly I’d like to tell you about a great book that looks at…
Last week some pretty convincing screenshots and evidence leaked that both Green Arrow and Supergirl would be coming to Lego Dimensions, either together in a Team Pack, or sold individually in Fun Packs. Two new videos have now surfaced showing the duo in game alongside other characters like Slimer and Lloyd. While one of them unfortunately has…
At the conclusion of 2005’s X-Men Legends 2, a stinger set up a third chapter in the excellent action-RPG series that we would unfortunately never see. Unlike other franchises that have languished in limbo with no conclusion however, like MegaMan Legends, it wasn’t because the series was dead or the creators had been taken off the series. X-Men…
NOTE: THIS IS A SPOILER FREE REVIEW THAT WILL NOT ADDRESS ANY PLOT POINTS. Other than the slick James Bond like opening for the debut episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne, I was left pretty unimpressed overall. Not to say it was bad or anything, it just felt like it was treading a lot of familiar ground…
This month saw the last Lego Dimensions Level Pack released in the Midway Arcade level and after May 10th, all of the game’s remaining Fun Packs (a character plus a vehicle) will be the last of the announced add-on content for WB and TT Games’ first toys-to-life game. So what’s next then after that? According to some…
This Friday and ongoing all weekend is the 10th annual Sci-Fi on the Rock convention in the city of St. John’s found in my home province of Newfoundland, Canada. It also happens to be the first year where yours truly will be doing an hour-long panel about comic book games. One of the special guests…
Throughout this month, I’ve looked at games where it’s possible to pit the Dark Knight against the Man of Steel to see who would win. However, neither of those games were truly about Batman Vs. Superman. What happened if an event so horrific caused the DC Universe’s brightest beacon of hope to go dim? Who would…
