Retro Games You Messed Up Our Comic Book Heroes!, and future YouTube sensation was at Too Many Games, an event held in Philadelphia last weekend, and captured eleven of the most expensive comic book games he could find at the show. Watch the video below before reading further, I promise you’ll dig…
June is here and we’re a just a few measly weeks from the release of Rocksteady and WB Games closing chapter in the Arkham saga: Batman: Arkham Knight. Over the past year to keep my mind off of the constant delays this game has undergone in the road to becoming the best possible product it can be, I’ve…
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,…
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…

As you may or may not recall from my review of Batman: Return of the Joker on the NES, I liked it quite a bit. It was a complete package of great controls, graphics, and music that made it a little slice of classic NES heaven. Reason stood to believe then that a version of…
Gametrailers has posted their weekly Top 10 video and this week it’s a belated Batman Day video: The Top 10 Batman games. I do agree with most of the entries on the list, thought there’s one that I’ve been playing lately that I remember more fondly than it actually is. Personally I think it’s unfair…
This game. I’ve been waiting a llllloooonnng time to get my hands on this game. I remember seeing ads with screenshots in them for this game in issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly around the time it was coming out. I desperately wanted to play it and checked my local video store and gas stations to…
