This past weekend, The Electric Playground published a video celebrating the legacy of the Nintendo 3DS, a video I was lucky enough to be included in. The Nintendo 3DS marks the companies last dedicated handheld, if you discount the fact that the Nintendo Switch now comes in a portable only variety. Though it had a bit of…
For Sega’s series of Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase One games, it was the PS3/Xbox 360 games that most people were looking towards and being promoted in the press, but with a few exceptions, those were the ones that were to be avoided. Save Captain America: Super Soldier where the at-the-time next-gen version of the game was clearly…
In 2011, Beenox delivered the first ever Spider-Man game to the 3DS with the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Edge of Time was a respectable port to Nintendo’s underpowered handheld (in comparison to the main SKU of the game on PS3 and Xbox 360) that suffered from what a lot of 3-D games did on the PSP. The…

MOBILE GAME OF THE YEAR WINNER: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: THE UNIVERSAL WEAPON Before this year, I doubt many people knew who the Guardians of the Galaxy were, now over $750 millions dollars at the box office later, we’re all singing the songs from Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and dancing along with Baby Groot.

The presents have been opened with care, or tore open with little to no regard in my case, and with New Year’s just around the corner, it means that 2014 is coming to a rapid close. This has been a big year for Comic Gamers Assemble and to celebrate I’m putting off the first ever…
