In 2004, developer Starbreeze impressed a lot of people with the release of the Xbox original exclusive The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Launching alongside The Chronicles of Riddick film, it was a rare example of a game being much better received than the movie it was meant to support, something not really seen since GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo…
2007’s The Darkness was a commercial success for developer Starbreeze and publisher 2K Games, going on to sell over one million copies, which was a pretty good figure for a game based around an IP that wasn’t that well-known. Given that level of success, it was surprising that it would be close to four years before any…
Halloween is a time of year when a lot of people, both kids and adults, dress up like monsters and comic book characters so why not shine a spotlight (but not too brightly) at a character that reflects both: Morbius: The Living Vampire. Introduced as a villain in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man, Morbius has over…
2008 was an interesting year for video game publishing giant Electronic Arts, other wise abbreviated to EA. The year started off with them releasing a big name sequel in the month of January that was far different from the games that had normally come from that franchise in Burnout Paradise.

And so the Midnight Sons Month comes to a close… Ghost Rider for the Game Boy Advance was developed by Magic Pockets, a France studio with a long list of titles developed for Nintendo handhelds and is currently making games for the iOS platform. Like it’s siblings on the PlayStation systems, it was also published…
There’s not a lot to say about Ghost Rider on the PSP that I didn’t cover in my back issue for the PS2 release back in February. In short, it’s a decent God of War clone, broken up with motorcycle levels with a healthy amount of unlockables and a short play length. NOTE: This is…
Blade II was released the same day as the film of the same name on home video (September 3rd, 2002), and was the last game to star the vampire hunter outside of playable appearances in things like the Ghost Rider games and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. While it didn’t come out in time for the North…
