NOTE: This review is spoiler free of plot details. One of the reasons why I’ve fallen out of love with Batman lately, other than over saturation on DC’s part (he’s in the Justice League Dark animated movie?! WHY?!!), is that for a character who regularly fights crimes with near God-powered super beings, he’s often the most powerful…
For a generation of video game players who grew up when arcades were still a thriving business, they’ll probably remembering the alluring lights, eye-catching displays of franchises from everything from The Addams Family to Doctor Who, and of course the unforgettable sounds of pinball machines. Unless you live in certain cities around the world, it’s near impossible to…
2008 was an interesting year for video game publishing giant Electronic Arts, other wise abbreviated to EA. The year started off with them releasing a big name sequel in the month of January that was far different from the games that had normally come from that franchise in Burnout Paradise. As the year went on, EA’s catalog…
NOTE: This review is spoiler free of plot details. With the first two episodes of Batman: The Telltale Series, each so far has topped the other in terms of story progression, and while I feel that the third chapter New World Order didn’t leave me craving the next chapter in the same way the last two episodes did, it…
After the buggy launch of 2013’s Batman: Arkham Origins and the PC port of Batman: Arkham Knight that was so bad it was taken off of Steam for many months, only to be returned in a still less than desirable state, WB Games knew that the next time they published a game with the word “Arkham” in the title, it…
The mid-to-late 2000’s were an interesting time for third-party games given how many different devices were on the market. In previous generations, there would be one version of a game across several platforms, each with own compromises, and perhaps a paired down version on the Game Boy, but in that time period, there were so…
NOTE: This review is spoiler free for the story. There are some super hero origin stories that simply don’t need retelling because even those who are not invested in the least know them: we know that Superman flew here from Krypton and is its last survivor; Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider and Batman’s parents…
A few months back, I reviewed a somewhat obscure comic book game for the Sega Genesis called Ex-Mutants. The source material for the game was based on a comic that was originally published under the Eternity Comics label before being passed around to several other companies, eventually winding up at Malibu Comics which was purchased by Marvel…
Even for those not intimately familiar with the Attack on Titan property, you can see at a glance how much fun a video game would be set in that universe. Featuring a cast of characters strapped to a piece of equipment that basically emulates the web-slinging powers of Spider-Man pitted against giant, genderless beasts who exist who exist only…
If there’s one thing you can’t criticize the Sega Dreamcast for, it’s how before its time it was: It was the first console of its generation, beating the PlayStation 2 by a year and the Xbox as well as the GameCube to market by two years; It offered online play for the first time on any…
