THE LAND OF THE FORGOTTEN COMIC BOOK GAMES PART 1

Something I have an invested interest in is the behind the scenes information of things. I love reading about how things, like say, a train wreck of a movie came to be, or why a game never came to stores. Over the past couple of days I’ve been compiling of list of comic book games…

LEGO BATMAN 3: BEYOND GOTHAM COMIC-CON TRAILER

Comic-Con week is upon us, and the fine folks at TT Games have another trailer to show us for the upcoming Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. We get to see a couple of firsts, including a lot of the costumes for characters other than the Dynamic Duo as well as a big fig transformation for…

WHY BOTHER TO DO ANYTHING WHEN YOU KNOW IT’S GOING TO END?

So yesterday’s pretty obvious news tease was indeed correct, and we have an All New Captain America: Sam Wilson AKA The Falcon. In reading this news story across countless outlets this morning, comment sections are flooded with posts like “big deal, they’re only going to change him back anyway” or “he’ll be back, just like…

WE CAN’T EXPECT ROCKSTEADY TO MAKE EVERY COMIC BOOK GAME

Rocksteady Studios is an amazing game development house, that can’t be denied by anyone. With only three games to their name (and a fourth on the way!)

Publisher Atari also put out the “Apokolips” games based…

REVIEW: SUPERMAN RETURNS (NINTENDO DS)

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM  07/05/2013 After the Superman Sudoku puzzle game they put out on the Game Boy Advance, I didn’t know what to expect from EA’s Superman Returns game on the Nintendo DS. This handheld version is an ambitious action-board game hybrid that has a lot of interesting ideas that didn’t quite the…

REVIEW: SUPERMAN RETURNS (XBOX 360)

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/23/2013 I can’t think of an odder choice of a developer for a Superman game then the one attached to Superman Returns. Published by EA, Returns was crafted by EA Tiburon who are most famous for making sports game, specifically the Madden NFL series. I guess Superman hits people hard,…
