Use Your Wii to Play With Lara Croft and Xianghua

May 15, 2007 by Dave

No, I’m not tired of Wii puns yet. Two interesting video game announcements for Wii owners this week: Eidos has announced that they are doing a “Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition” for Wii that will take advantage  of the Wii’s control system.  TRAE is a remake of the very first Tomb Raider game, but in an […]

BSG, Lost Ending

May 11, 2007 by Dave

IESB.net is reporting that Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica will be its last. The site spoke to Edward Olmos (Admiral Adama) who stated that the next will be the last, which was confirmed by Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck.) Obviously this isn’t a definite coming from the stars and not an official network release, but it doesn’t […]

Free Comic Book Day 2007

May 4, 2007 by Dave

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. While I’ve had some frustrating experiences in the past with getting the comics I want, it just makes me want to seek out new comic stores. I still fully support FCBD, and encourage everyone to stop by their friendly local comic book store and pick […]

Because Magic The Gathering isn't Expensive Enough

May 2, 2007 by Dave

I had seen some preview product shots before, but it wasn’t until Penny Arcade pointed me to the in-depth Gamespot preview did I become interested in a new PS3 product. (Not quite so interested as to go out and buy one, but to have finally found a product that I might want to buy if […]

Boom! Studios Seeking Artists for Warhammer Comics

May 2, 2007 by Dave

Found over at CBR, I thought that we here at Critical Hits were in a fairly unique position to promote this, as we cover both gaming and comic content (and also being home to a number of up and coming artists.) Press release follows: Official Press Release ATTENTION ALL SEQUENTIAL ARTISTS: Boom! Studios is launching […]

Sony knows how to throw a party

April 29, 2007 by Dave

A scandal that seems to have exploded over the weekend despite actually happening two months ago: Sony, who has some problems in the PR department, decided to throw a big event to celebrate the launch of God of War 2 in, appropriately enough to the game’s story, Athens. They also decided to go the extra […]

Starcraft Boardgame has a Release Date

April 26, 2007 by Dave

I’m sure you’d rather see the announcement of Starcraft 2, but at least it’s something to tide over you Zergling fans out there. The Starcraft boardgame will be released in September of this year (and unlike Blizzard, Fantasy Flight is known to get its stuff out on time.) The game will be in the FF […]

Interview: Fellowship of the Dice

April 25, 2007 by Dave

Back in December, I tried to round up all the D&D and gaming related movies on DVD that I could find. Even in the course of four months, even more have come out. One of the most promising of the new releases is the Mocumentary/Documentary Fellowship of the Dice, which was just released on DVD […]

Stick it to 'em MSNBC – about damn time

April 24, 2007 by joshx0rfz

Jack Thompson gets it for his ridiculous comments on the VT shootings. Linky Edit by Bartoneus: It looks like he’s getting called out on his BS by the San Francisco Chronicle too, and I imagine more to come.

Dragon, Dungeon Magazines to Cease Publication

April 19, 2007 by Dave

Just over the wire from GamingReport: Dragon Magazine and Dungeon Magazine, the 30+ year old magazines of D&D, roleplaying, and much more, is ceasing publication. In 2002, the rights to both magazines was handed off to Paizo Publishing, which mainly consisted of writers and editors who were doing the magazines anyway. However, it sounds from […]
