Presently I’m busy playing games and gathering my thoughts on the second chapter of my “Year of Acclaim” feature (something that’s proving to be EXTREMELY difficult), and on top of that I’m brainstorming up some new ideas I’d like to share with you for other parts of the year as well. Starting with: APRIL ULTIMATE…
I’m going to preface my review of The Rocketeer on SNES with a little story from my childhood. It’s Christmas 1992 and I’ve opened all of my presents, save one. So far I’ve gotten everything that I’ve wished for, namely my Batman Returns Bat-missile Batmobile and Batcave play-set; What could be in this mysterious box…
As a kid of around 6 or 7, I had little to no knowledge of The Rocketeer’s history in comics, but what I did know is that there was a movie about this golden helmet wearing character zipping around in a jet-pack, shooting gangsters and saving the day. As you can more than likely tell,…
Metroid, a series set in the far future across various planets and galaxies on paper at least has little in common with the prehistoric vistas featured in the Turok franchise. On closer inspection however, the two are more alike than they appear, especially if you’re looking exclusively at the Metroid Prime series. Don’t believe me?…
The mid-90’s were quite a transition for the video game industry. Not only were the at the time dated 16-bit machines on the way out, but the new console hardware, namely the Nintendo 64, the Sega Saturn as well as the Sony PlayStation were forcibly moving developers out of their 2-D comfort zone into the…
Yes, THAT Acclaim. However, it may not be what you think, or if you picked up on the hint in the last part of my Game of the Year feature, then yes, it’s exactly what you think. In 2015 I’m going to be reviewing all of the Acclaim comic book games, but not the…
2014 saw a lot of big-budget Hollywood movies make it to theaters, but hardly any tie-in games released next to them that arrived on a traditional console or handheld, more than likely due to diminishing returns on rushed-to-market games when easier, digestible games can be made for mobile devices. Never one to miss out on…
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…
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…
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.…
