Telltale took took honors in the “Developer of the Year” category along side nominations for both The Wolf Among Us and The Walking…
After starring in the second highest grossing movie of 2014 (thus far,) the Guardians of the Galaxy can be seen just about anywhere nowadays, especially in video games. They starred in their first ever game, The Universal Weapon, this summer, they’re part of Disney Infinity 2.0, Marvel Heroes, the list goes on and on. Soon…
I don’t understand Amiibo’s. Let me rephrase that, I more than understand the point of Amiibo’s, as evidenced in “Exhibit A,” my shelf after the September launch of Disney Infinity 2.0: That’s not including the Hulk figure that I’ve added, the Hiro and Baymax I’ve drooled over as I’ve passed them on store shelves, as well…
2014, for me at least, will go down as the year that Disney gave me things I didn’t know that I wanted. Rewinding back to when Guardians of the Galaxy was announced I scoffed at the idea, thinking and possibly not alone on this, that it would be Marvel Studios first flop, and certainly not…
NOTE: THIS GAME DOESN’T ALLOW THE USE OF 3-D.

At a time when comic fans were up in arms over the fact that Peter Parker may or not…
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, a show near and dear to my, and I’m assuming a lot of people’s, heart. To mark that event, a lot of the talent from the show reunited over this past weekend to discuss the now classic animated series that ran on the FOX…
I know I’ll catch a lot of heat over this by those who adore Halloween, but in three days time, it’ll be over and the madness of the Holiday season will kick in, if it hasn’t already. One item that I’m assuming will be in a lot of wish lists this year is the toys-to-life…
Yesterday Marvel Studios threw their cards on the table and showed the world their planned film slate until the end of the decade and while I’m ecstatic that there’s going to be a Captain Marvel film and the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel has been moved up, I’m still disappointed that Marvel doesn’t have a firm…
