I love seeing Batman taking down Sub-Zero as only MidWay can do. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVwWaemMkCE[/youtube] I really, really hope this is a kick-ass game and not a toned down kid friendly game that sucks the life out of both Mortal Kombat and the DCU

If you are a gamer, enjoy playing Warhammer, and love MMORPGs, then you will probably love getting in on the Beta of the new Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning coming from EA Mythic.

This morning during the Q4 conference call it was asked if Marvel had thought about going into the game market after the announcements of several companies dropping Marvel games (Microsoft’s Marvel MMO). In a nutshell, Marvel did say it was not pursuing this venture at this time. However, knowing that Marvel also says they have no plans to reprint sold out issues, only to turn around a couple of weeks later, makes me wonder how long we will have to wait until the Marvel MMO game is resurrected by the company. Even with my speculation, I can understand why Marvel…
I love playing World of Warcraft. I just wish I had more time to play it. MMORPG are really fun and so emersive that you can detach from the real world very easily. While I never got into City of Heroes – the super hero online game, I was interested in checking out Marvel’s attempt to break into this particular game market. It’s too bad the game has been cancelled. Marvel Universe Online (the heavily anticipated MMO based on the Marvel comic book universe) is officially dead, according to Shane Kim, the Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Game Studios. Kim…

I’ve got my fare share of DC and Marvel Heroclix figures cozied away in a secret room I have yet to reveal to the Major Spoiler masses. I haven’t picked up any in quite a while, mainly because the local store has stopped carrying the line, and I really don’t have anyone to play against. But I am super excited about the Starro Attacks Heroclix event featuring the new Justice League booster packs with several exclusive Starro related figures. Wizkids Games has sent us some high-res images of the figures including a huge Starro that should put that Sinestro figure…

The agreement also allows the company to draw upon any other Brothers in Arms video games to develop storylines. Brothers In Arms is based on the true story of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the famed 101st Airborne Division who were dropped behind German Lines on D-day.

Fans of Lego Batman and video games have a reason to rejoice as Warner Bros and TT Games will bring LEGO Batman: The Videogame to consoles and the PC in 2008. Judging from the press release sent out by the company, this game will be similar to the LEGO Star Wars games that have shot up the charts. “Batman spans several generations as one of the most popular DC Super Heroes, and LEGO BATMAN will appeal to several generations of gamers who grew up idolizing the Dark Knight and playing with LEGO toys,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Development…
The Spider-Man III video game takes you below the streets of New York as you battle Venom, Sandman, and more. Looks pretty awesome to me, although I really wonder if subway tunnels and sewers are that big. embedPlayer(626918980)
Powerstorm, the customizable card game that attempts to replicate the epic battles in comic books, has teamed up with Top Cow to bring Cyberforce and Strykeforce characters to the gaming table. “When Lee first approached me about Powerstorm I was interested but not incredibly excited,” commented Matt Hawkins, President and COO of Top Cow Productions, Inc., “In less than a year he’s converted me to a true believer. This system is very exciting, captures the core differences of all these characters and adds innovation to a growingly homogenized market.” Top Cow said Witchblade, Hunter-Killer, The Magdalena, and others Top Cow…
