If you’ve been on Facebook or Twitter since about an hour ago, you probably know that Nintendo has a new console coming out March 2017, officially called Nintendo Switch: I’ve been pretty hard on Nintendo on this blog, but from what was shown in the trailer for the Switch, I’m actually pretty optimistic about it…
If you’ve read my feature about the Nintendo 64’s library of comic books games, you’ll know that there wasn’t that many released from the time in launched in September of 1996 to the time its last game, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, arrived in 2002. Technically speaking, there were eleven video games with comic book properties released…
September 26th, 1996. In limited release, Nintendo launched their first ever three-dimensional console that defined how games would be played in this bold new perspective, thanks to games like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Rare’s Goldeneye 007, the latter of which showed developers how first-person shooters, a genre that exploded in the next console…
Today is Batman Day, and I knew I wanted to do something to celebrate here but couldn’t decide exactly what. I thought I would do something maybe like a top ten best Batman games but prior to the release of Batman: Arkham Knight I did a top ten non-Arkham Batman games list which I still stand by…
Today, franchises like Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed and Battlefield take a lot of heat for having annual releases that water down the brand they represent, but two console generations ago, the term “annual franchise” didn’t carry such a negative connotation. Insomniac’s Ratchet and Clank series released one year after the other and got better as they went along, which was the…
After many, many requests from the looks of things, the folks at Smosh Games have put up an honest game trailer for one of the most notorious comic book video games of all time: Superman 64. Having watched the trailer, it made me laugh and feel equally sad that I not only completed the first ring stage, but all…
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have have one of the largest catalog of games of any licensed property, yet despite the fact they have as of this Friday six theatrical features to their name, there’s barely a handful of titles that were based on the brother’s theatrical exploits. Which of those are worth playing and…
For their debut effort with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, Ubisoft tried something different that worked in one case (the console game) but not in another (the criminally bad DS game). Though it was wise for Ubisoft to differentiate their take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise from what came before, there was still a lot of…
TMNT (2007) on the Xbox 360 was a pretty good game that unfortunately was just a little too linear and easy for those who grew up on the at times brutal beat-em-ups developed by Konami in the 90’s. Compared to the DS game of the same name which tries a similar structure though a little big…
When Activision claimed the X-Men license at the start of the new millennium, they didn’t do anything terribly exciting with the license prior to the ground breaking X-Men Legends in 2004. The first Mutant Academy game and its sequel were fine, but they were more or less just a Street Fighter clone with a 3-D coat of paint, again not that…
