I’ve talked about a lot of games based upon comic book properties, but never once have I covered a game that’s set inside a comic book. To rectify this, today I’m going to be talking about Comix Zone, a game that while not based on a comic book property is a must-play title for fans of comic books, video…
Since I started thinking about making this site and actually putting it into action, I’ve accumulated A LOT of comic book themed games, primarily on consoles running through the NES up to the PS4. I haven’t sat down to count them lately, but right now the number is some where over 100, perhaps even several…
This week saw the launch of Spawn: Resurrection, an attempt by Image to inject life back into the character made popular in the 90’s by creator Todd McFarlane by bringing original Spawn Al Simmons back from the dead (undead?) and hiring writer Paul Jenkins (Marvel Knight’s Inhumans) to oversee the character’s new direction.

To help brighten your day and spread some…
I really can’t quite explain it, but despite never owning a Sega console growing up, I’m a sucker for their very last hurrah in the business, the Dreamcast. Perhaps it’s due to its quirky library of games, like Crazy Taxi and The Typing of the Dead, or maybe I just have nostalgic memories of renting…
Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of the release of the Sega Genesis, also known as the Mega Drive in other parts of the world, in North America. To celebrate the life of the little black box that gave the “Big N” a run for their money in the 90’s, I’m going to look at ways…
