The Game Awards took place this Thursday, and like every year, it was packed with trailers for both new and already announced upcoming games. Oh, and some awards were handed out also. Though there wasn’t any exciting new comic book game world premieres like Blade or the now cancelled Wonder Woman game, 2 games did…
DEVELOPER: Twisted PIxel Games PUBLISHER: Oculus Studios REVIEWED ON: Meta Quest 3S from early access. Thanks in no small part to Camouflaj’s dual efforts of Marvel’s Iron Man VR and last year’s incredible Batman: Arkham Shadow, the virtual reality space has proven that it’s just as capable at producing top-tier comic book games as traditional…
Released in 2013, the WB Games Montréal developed Batman: Arkham Origins was unjustly seen as a stepping stone to the Rocksteady Studios developed sequel to Batman: Arkham City which would be unveiled in early 2014 as Batman: Arkham Knight. While it had its champions at launch – I consider myself among them – time has…
The big-budget, AAA space has been seemingly plagued with nothing more than extensive delays and cancellations as of late. In the super hero space, both the standalone Wonder Woman and Black Panther games were cancelled before they could even be shown off. Given the recent developments around both EA and Microsoft, it wouldn’t be too…
With Mariah Carey set to defrost in just over a week, the days left for Tribute Games and Dotemu to reveal a 2025 release date for Marvel Cosmic Invasion were beginning to close in. Through a new trailer that also dropped 2 new characters to the roster, we now know that players will be able…
Ever since the September 2021 PlayStation Showcase – the same one in which Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was revealed – there hasn’t been one Sony event where the lead up hasn’t been “so this is the one with Wolverine, right?”.

Now that E3 is dead and gone, Summer Game Fest weekend has become the big mid-year event where developers and publishers both big and small show up with hot new trailers for their upcoming projects. Among the biggest reveals this past weekend were games based on comic book properties. Tribute Games, the beloved developers of…
Sony’s latest State of Play presentation concluded with a surprise that absolutely no one saw coming. PlayStation Studios have announced a new partnership with Marvel Games and Arc System Works (Guilty Gear series, Dragon Ball FighterZ) to develop a new fighting game. Titled Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, it can only be described as well, the…
It seems like not a week goes by that there’s some new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game project either announced or coming out. On May 22nd, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown arrived exclusively on Steam from Strange Scaffold, and the excellent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate just made it’s way to PlayStation…
The news broke yesterday that another high profile comic book game that didn’t even get the opportunity to show even a screenshot to the public has gotten the axe. The victim this time is EA’s Black Panther title that was announced almost 2 years ago in the summer of 2023. The studio, Cliffhanger Games, that…
DEVELOPER/PUBLISHER: Super Evil Megacorp REVIEWED ON: PlayStation 5 from an early access code supplied by the publisher. For my thoughts on the Nintendo Switch version, click HERE. With hits like Dead Cells, Hades, Balatro and Blue Prince, the roguelike genre, effectively a style of game design that encourages players to replay procedurally generated scenarios, has…
After debuting as part of the Apple Arcade subscription service in 2023, the roguelike Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate has been slowly but surely branching out to other devices. Last summer, it made its way to the Nintendo Switch and it came to PC in the final months of 2024. The game’s developer, Super…
