Of the three post launch expansions for Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Bizarro World was perhaps the one I was looking forward to the least. Not that I don’t like Bizarro or anything, in fact I think the character is a perfect fit for some of the silly humour found in the Lego games, I just was more…
We don’t really see much of Jim Carrey nowadays, but in the mid-90’s the actor was everywhere. His breakout year came in 1994 when he starred in three incredibly beloved comedies: Ace Venture: Pet Detective; Dumb and Dumber and The Mask, loosely based on the comic book series published by Dark Horse. Not one to miss out on making…
Not to take away from the quality of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, because as expressed in my review, I think it’s a pretty awesome game that doesn’t get enough credit. That being said, I firmly believe that a lot of its success came down to how excellently timed its release was: It came out when there…
You might find it a little bit strange to visit a website dedicated to comic book games and see a headline promising a review for a video game based on a well-loved series of books, especially when it’s already been deliberated on by all major gaming websites, but here me out. As to why I’m…
I’m going to preface my review of The Rocketeer on SNES with a little story from my childhood. It’s Christmas 1992 and I’ve opened all of my presents, save one. So far I’ve gotten everything that I’ve wished for, namely my Batman Returns Bat-missile Batmobile and Batcave play-set; What could be in this mysterious box…
As a kid of around 6 or 7, I had little to no knowledge of The Rocketeer’s history in comics, but what I did know is that there was a movie about this golden helmet wearing character zipping around in a jet-pack, shooting gangsters and saving the day. As you can more than likely tell,…
Green Arrow hasn’t ever had a game to call his own, but with the popularity of The CW’s “Arrow” it wasn’t going to be long before someone capitalized on the character in the interactive space. Luckily for us, it just so happened that the people who would give the Emerald Archer his biggest push in…
The mid-90’s were quite a transition for the video game industry. Not only were the at the time dated 16-bit machines on the way out, but the new console hardware, namely the Nintendo 64, the Sega Saturn as well as the Sony PlayStation were forcibly moving developers out of their 2-D comfort zone into the…
2014 saw a lot of big-budget Hollywood movies make it to theaters, but hardly any tie-in games released next to them that arrived on a traditional console or handheld, more than likely due to diminishing returns on rushed-to-market games when easier, digestible games can be made for mobile devices. Never one to miss out on…
The relavitely new “Batman: Arkham” franchise is something of an anomloy in today’s video game climate. Normally when a game comes out it’s mere months, or in the case of Assassin’s Creed as of late, right after a new chapter comes out before you’re already hearing about the next installment arriving in a year’s time.…
