In 2004, developer Starbreeze impressed a lot of people with the release of the Xbox original exclusive The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Launching alongside The Chronicles of Riddick film, it was a rare example of a game being much better received than the movie it was meant to support, something not really seen since GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo…
NOTE: The author of this article was a contributor to the Kickstarter campaign for Battle Chasers: Nightwar. After the closure of THQ proper and the dissolving of Vigil Games, Joe Madureira and other members of Vigil reformed as a new studio, Airship Syndicate, with the goal of returning to the long dormant Battle Chasers comic series that Madureira started…
NOTE: This review is spoiler free of plot details. In the third episode of Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series, Rocket makes a joke about the team finding themselves in another temple as up to that point, they’ve found themselves in at least one per episode. At the end of the fourth episode of Guardians of the…
NOTE: This review is spoiler free of plot details. What made Batman: The Telltale Series such a joy to play was how much it turned traditional Batman tropes on their head. You still had characters like Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Harvey Dent to remind you that this is still a Batman story, but a lot of things you…

It was with these feelings that I wasn’t too…
NOTE: Not played on the original NES, but on the PS4 version from the Disney Afternoon Collection. Capcom is no stranger to sequels: Mega Man had six entries alone on the NES and your head would probably start spinning trying to recall all the sequels, spin-offs, remasters and adjective themed updates for the Street Fighter franchise. One side of…
NOTE: This review is spoiler free of plot details. What makes reviewing episodes of Telltale games difficult for me is a choice I made long ago to never spoil plot details, something I make sure to put on the top of every episode I review. It makes it rather challenging to talk about a game…
After years of games based on the Men in Black animated series, North American console exclusive gamers finally got their first ever Men in Black film universe game with the release of 2002’s Men in Black II: Alien Escape that released on both the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube. Hailing from a different developer from the team that put together the last MIB console…
As big as 1997’s Men in Black was, North American console only gamers wouldn’t be able to play as a member of the elite, shadowy, alien policing organization on a home console until a year after the PlayStation 2, and it wouldn’t even be on the PS2, but rather the original PlayStation. Like the MIB’s debut Game…
What if? What if? was a simple two-word question that once was a comic series published by Marvel. Such stories were told as What if Jane Foster Found the Hammer of Thor?…wait, that happened, or What if the Alien Costume had Possessed Spider-Man?.
