At some point earlier this year Dave and I were talking and he casually mentioned how he’d just spent most of his day going through every back issue of a webcomic, and he started to tell me how great it was. That comic was Erfworld, which I already knew about through some twisting internet / […]
Critical Hits is a Trilogy
From the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief: The time has come once again where we indulge in a little celebration. A little over three years ago, I started the conversations that would eventually lead to founding Critical Hits. Looking back, we definitely started a bit rocky, and it took us a while to find what we […]
The Professor X Paradox
Many of us here at Critical Hits enjoy comics, especially of the superhero variety. So it’s natural to try and combine our love of roleplaying games with our love of superheroes into one solid package. Primarily, our experience with superhero games was in GURPS Supers. GURPS is a system we developed a fair amount of […]
Impressions: Baltimore Comic-Con 2008
I’ve been to a fair number of conventions, but this past Sunday was my first time going to a strictly comic convention and I have to say the experience was pretty extraordinary. Several of the other conventions I’ve been to have also been in the Baltimore Convention Center, and as we walked in my first […]
Inq. of the Week: Who Reads Comics?
We should have provided an over/under on last week’s poll, I’d be curious to see who would have guessed that 52% of our voting readers are married gamers. Coming in at second is 28% of you who are gamers and single, 16% are gamers and in relationships, with only 5 votes (3%) in the gamer […]

The movie is listed as an action/mystery/thriller and takes place in modern day America, staring Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan with Rosaria Dawson, […]
Inq. of the Week: Gamers Get Some
If you’re playing 4th edition, you want to be selling your soul for dark powers. The Warlock came out on top of last week’s poll asking what your favorite 4e class is. The new, improved Rogue comes in second, fueled by stabby stabby. The Fighter is a close third, with the other new class Warlord […]
The Top 10 Songs that Should Never be in Rock Band
I’m sure it’s happened to many of you, listening to the radio either in the car or at work and hearing a particular song and thinking, “Damn, this song really should be in Rock Band!” Apparently this happened so much that our friend DrScotto began to reply with simply, “EVERY song should be in Rock […]
Inq. of the Week: 4th Edition Classes?
We’re finally back on a regular schedule, and temperatures are beginning to drop into that lovely cool – comfortable range (for about a week, that’s how long fall lasts in Maryland), it’s becoming clear that summer is drawing to a close. Last week Dave asked how many of you partake in the monk-like practice of […]
Review: “Soul Calibur IV”
Synopsis: Soul Calibur IV maintains the core gameplay of the Soul Calibur series and features a fun (if unintuitive) character creation system, but misses out on a number of features that would have improved the title overall. Notes: This review is from a free review copy of the Xbox 360 version. Gameplay: The fighting and […]
