The Amazing Spider-Man – Stan Lee Gameplay
Stan “The Man” Lee is responsible for creating and co-creating a ridiculously large percentage of Marvel’s stable of comic heroes and villains. He is a true treasure for fans of the medium, and deserves every bit of respect and adoration he receives. Now, Beenox and Activision are putting Stan Lee in the shoes of one of his longest lasting and most popular characters: Spider-Man....[Read More]
Get ready for the Web Rush in Amazing Spider-Man

Review: Prototype 2 (360)
New York City lays sprawled below me as I glide through the air in a descending arc. An air dash restores my momentum, extending my flight and allowing me to reach the skyscraper in the distance. I land on the side of the skyscraper, and smoothly transition into a vertical run, defying Sir Isaac Newton and his thoughts and discoveries on gravity with my actions. As I reach the top of the building,...[Read More]
Black Ops II Pushes Boundaries
When it comes to the Call of Duty franchise I have mixed feelings. Some of these feelings are good, and others somewhat bad. We’ve already heard the news that Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be set in the year 2025 which will allow players to see new weaponry, robotics, and so much more.
Final Box Art for The Amazing Spider-Man Game
Kicking off Spidey-Month, we’re starting with the final box art for this summer’s upcoming video game The Amazing Spider-Man, based on the upcoming feature film reboot.
Skylanders Follow-up Takes a Giant Leap Forward
I know, that’s a terrible title. We generally go for more informative titles, but I’m feeling a bit saucy and wanted to make a stupid title joke, so sue me.Let’s get to the point. Skylanders was a fantastic game for kids and adults, and has spawned an incredibly powerful addiction to little RFID toys that have resulted in sold out shelves and inflated eBay prices. Only a fool wou...[Read More]
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD
By the time the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater was released onto the PlayStation, I had been a bona fide skateboarder for about two years. I picked it up late, because I didn’t properly move to California until 1997, and skateboarding was not exactly encouraged by my dad back home in Oklahoma City. In 1997, though, I started hanging out with a group of skateboarders in my freshman class, and ...[Read More]
Review: Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure (360)
Do you want to know how I knew this would be a great game within minutes of starting the campaign? Allow me to paint a picture for you: it was a Monday afternoon, and the sun was bright in the sky. My wife sat on our couch with the laptop in front of her, while I was on the living room chair getting everything prepared for my first game of Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. The Portal was set, m...[Read More]
Review: Spider-Man: Edge of Time (PS3)
After last year’s Spidey game, Shattered Dimensions, Activision has decided to let Beenox become the official dev team for their games starring Marvel’s famed webslinger. So, does this game prove the choice as a good one?
Review: Transformers: Dark of the Moon (360)
Many gamers tend to bristle when the concept of games as art is questioned. With so many incredible experiences coming out every year, and the increasing audience for the medium, it seems like a foregone conclusion. Then one has the misfortune of playing a game like Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Getting past the grammatically infuriating title is difficult enough, but once you begin you realize ...[Read More]

E3 2011: X-Men Destiny
I’m going to go a bit hipster on you right now. Before it was mainstream and popular, I read comics. Before it was mainstream and popular, I ran around on the playground pretending Rogue was my girlfriend and adamantium claws were popping out of my fists. Before it was mainstream and popular, I was collecting and trading Fleer Ultra cards with my like-minded friends. I am a X-Nerd, and I can...[Read More]
