This summer, Nintendo opened up a new channel of their subscription service Nintendo Switch Online Plus Expansion Pack tier specifically for M-rated Nintendo 64 games. Aptly titled MATURE 17+, it’s a separate application from the one that houses the other Nintendo 64 classics like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.…
Sometimes dreams really do come true. Mere hours ago, Nintendo dropped their big June Direct, and while it was firmly focused on the current Nintendo Switch and not its successor, it was still full of huge announcements. The biggest, of course, being that Capcom’s Marvel games are finally coming to modern devices. Marvel vs. Capcom…
This fall has seen all but one comic book video game, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, get a delay of some sort. Hellboy: Web of Wyrd exchanged its early October release date for one 2 days before Insomniac’s sequel, and Batman: Arkham Trilogy, a game that was originally slated to launch on October 13th, will now arrive…
DEVELOPERS: Iguana Entertainment (originals)/Nighdive Studios (remasters) PUBLISHERS: Acclaim Entertainment (originals)/Nightdive Studios (remasters) REVIEWED ON: PlayStation 4 (slim) from copies purchased by the author. When players think of the Nintendo 64’s library, they tend to think of big, first party Nintendo titles like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time or four-player party…

Technically speaking, there were eleven video games with comic book properties released…

Having watched the trailer, it made me laugh and feel equally sad that I not only completed the first ring stage, but all…
1996. Nineteen years before The Force Awakens, three years before the start of the dreaded “prequel trilogy” and even before the slippery slope of remasters where the phrase “Greedo shot first” got its origin. In 1996 Lucasfilm set to expand the Star Wars canon with a multimedia project that would span a novel, a comic book series, and…
And with the final review of Turok (2008) on Xbox 360, The Year of Acclaim comes to an end. Over the past twelve months I’ve looked at fifteen games through multiple console, handhelds and console generations. While some of the games I’ve looked at have confirmed that certain games are bonafided classics or huge surprises, others are…
