HOLIDAY 2003 WAS MADE MEMORABLE BY BATMAN: RISE OF SIN

It cannot go understated just how incredible Ubisoft’s fall 2003 line-up was. While not every title reached the sales they deserved, the company produced unforgettable classics like Prince of Perisa: The Sands of Time and Beyond Good & Evil, the stylish cel-shaded first-person shooter XIII and quietly nestled among them was Batman: Rise of Sin…

A CHRISTMAS TIME FUN LOOK AT TOYS BASED ON COMIC BOOK VIDEO GAMES

In previous years around the holiday season I’ve looked at comic book games with a Christmas twist such as Batman: Arkham Origins, the many games inspired by Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, and Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron. While growing up, video games were of my most coveted Christmas gifts as it was only really around that time of year when I…

JOLLY CHRISTMAS GAMING MEMORIES

I like to put out themed articles around the holidays, like horror themed games around Halloween and similarly Christmas related content around this festive time of year. As there’s not a lot of games that share the common thread of comic books and Christmas save the ones I’ve looked at in previous years like Batman Returns and Batman:…

REVIEW: SNOOPY VS. THE RED BARON (PS2)

It’s amazing that after over fifteen years of the PS2 being on the market, and well over thirteen of me being a PS2 owner, that the system still manages to surprise me with incredible games. I’ve either played or owned at this point hundreds of games for Sony’s sophomore console, and yet in 2015 I…

REVIEW: BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS (Wii U)/WHAT’S NEW FOR Wii U

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.…

REVIEW: BATMAN RETURNS (SEGA GENESIS)

Batman Returns on the NES is a pretty terrific game. Batman Returns on the SNES is a fantastic game. Batman Returns on the Sega Genesis is one of those constant reminders of why I’m forever grateful that I owned a SNES growing up as opposed to Sega’s machine that I wished I had after being…

REVIEW: BATMAN RETURNS (SNES)

Like Sunsoft before them, Konami produced both an 8 and 16-bit versions of a Batman game of the same name in Batman Returns. Unlike Sunsoft however, who somehow managed to make worse games despite having access to better hardware in both the cases of Batman on Sega Genesis and Batman: Revenge of the Joker, Returns…

REVIEW: BATMAN RETURNS (NES)

When it came to adapting Batman’s escapades from the big screen in video game format the first time around, Sunsoft more or less had the monopoly on the character, producing games on everything from the NES, Game Boy and Sega Genesis. For the sequel to Batman, aptly named Batman Returns, the video game licensing was shared…

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS ON COMIC GAMERS ASSEMBLE

It’s officially December 1st, and you know what that means! That’s right, people who don’t work in the customer service are getting excited that Christmas is right around the corner while the rest of us are looking for reservations in the closest mental hospital or emergency room. To help brighten your day and spread some…

COMIC GAMERS ASSEMBLE FALL PREVIEW

With the summer technically over for most (particularly if you’re a student) we now look towards the cluster bombing that is the fall video game season, where every publisher tries to squeeze as much product onto stove shelves to capture us in the fever of the holiday season. While the rest of the video game themed…
