Few games offer as much nostalgia about my childhood as comic book games. After having played the incredible Batman: Arkham Asylum, I sat down to give Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 a chance and have come off with…well, these impressions: If you are a fan of any of the extensive Marvel comic book series, you know the story arc of Civil War. Mark Millar supplied an incredible allegory to the Ameri... more.

I had the pleasure of checking out the the new Arkham Asylum free DLC that was released today for everyone's version of the game. The first part of the DLC is entitled "Totally Insane" and it is a combat challenge similar to the ones you fight in the non-stealth oriented fights in the regular Challenge Mode with two twists: one, for the first time they've included the psychopaths (or lunatics?... more.

I've got blisters on me fingers! After a night-long adventure on tour around the world, I'm back and ready to report on this rock and roll experience. Rock Band: The Beatles is similar to recent Guitar Hero titles that feature Aerosmith, Metallica, and (soon) Van Halen. However, unlike Activision's titles, this swingin' 60s spinoff features only the main event. You will spend the entire game a... more.

A few months ago I got wind that Turtles in Time was being  remade with updated  graphics, due to be released on Xbox Live. An irrational excitement came over me. I got flashbacks of sitting in front of my SNES, playing through the game, and then popping in my VHS copy of some episodes to get pumped up  enough to go for another round. Ok, I know I’m not alone on this. Hopefully. Skip Â... more.

Okay, I am not going to lie: I don’t love fighting games. I like ‘em, but I certainly do not have love for them. Street Fighter 4? May come as a shock but I did not get into it. Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe? I would prefer Mortal Kombat 3 over any other game in the series. Truly, there is little appeal in selecting from a group of generic characters with barely intriguing powers and then pitti... more.

Boasting 16 race tracks in 1080p at 60 frames per second, often racing at speeds over 700km/h, Wipeout HD is the realization of every dream us F-Zero fanboys had in the SNES days of gravity- and death-defying futuristic racing.  Since its release late last September, it has become one of PlayStation Network’s finest offerings. On July 23, 8 months after HD blew us all away, Studio Liverpool ... more.

Gamers rejoice as the Call of Duty franchise moves toward another Modern Warfare installment. Why? Because people are tired of playing through the same old wars in every game. We’ve seen D-Day more times than we care to remember. We’ve tamed Iwo Jima over and over again. We’ve crushed the Tet Offensive under several different boots. It seems that producer Activision finally got tired of wait... more.

The developers of the Sly Cooper series, Sucker Punch, intrigued us all when they announced that their first Playstation 3 title was in fact not going to be the fourth game starring that lovable thieving raccoon.  inFAMOUS is not only their first entry into the open world style of gameplay, but also their first game to use a more realistic, darker and grittier art style.  Was this unexpected mov... more.

I am a wrestling fan.  I am also a huge fan of THQ's WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw series. With SD vs. Raw, the "Legends" of the WWE are normally unlockable characters that, for the most part, go unused when I am playing. So, how did things go when these Hall of Famers are put into their own game? Compared to the previous efforts put forth by other developers, Legends of Wrestlemania comes together pret... more.
