Marvel Movieverse!

May 5, 2008 by The Main Event

Can Marvel keep a high quality line and connected universe up and running? (Hint: Use Paul Dini’s animated DCU [Diniverse] as a solid model!)

GleemaxGames Goes Gold

May 4, 2008 by Dave

OK, not so much gold as live, but I wanted alliteration. The first few games to be released through Gleemax are now available for a free trial period. So far, they have: RoboRally, the classic game of programming robots, who then run into things and blast each other Axis & Allies, the classic WWII strategy […]

Free Comic Book Day is Tomorrow

May 2, 2008 by Dave

Somehow this year’s FCBD almost slipped by me- there seems to be a palpable lack of buzz around it this year, and I’ve barely seen it mentioned in any of the comic blogs. Has the event become tired and worn? Has the emphasis shifted from corporate level advertising to stores doing their own things to […]

2008 Origins Awards Nominees Announced

May 1, 2008 by Dave

Found over at Gaming Report. Hit the jump for the full list. As usual, there’s some good stuff in there, along with a healthy dose of WTF? (For example, Bankruptcy is one of the worst games I have ever played, and yet, there it is…) Like last year, I intend to cover the awards ceremony […]

Jeez, Just Wait ’til you Get to Liberty City…

April 29, 2008 by The Main Event

Obviously, Joe and Hill-rod are correct about video games!

10 Word Adventures Contest at ChattyDM

April 29, 2008 by Dave

Phil the Chatty DM is holding a contest to get adventure synopses/hooks. The only catch? They have to be exactly 10 words. Yours truly will be helping to judge, so head over there now and give me tons of good stuff to look at! (And steal ideas from!)

Dungeons & Dragons: The Pen and Paper Video Game

April 24, 2008 by The Bored Gamer

In lieu of Mr. Gary Gygax’s passing, Gamasutra has an pretty interesting introspective on how D&D has influenced, perhaps even birthed, the modern video game, especially in consideration to the RPG and Simulation genres. It’s quite insightful and well worth reading. Registration MAY be required, but probably not. [Dungeons & Dragons: The Pen and Paper […]

From the WTF Crossover Department…

April 18, 2008 by Dave

Many years after Capcom vs. Marvel, the other side(s) have responded! A Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game looks to be in development (and has a brief Sub-Zero vs. Batman brawl trailer.) I suppose in video games, ridiculous crossovers will never go out of style, no matter how advanced the graphics are! Who wants to […]
