On the Marvel’s Ant-Man table, players will experience the breathtaking action of the upcoming Marvel Studios film as they’ll engage in heated combat with Yellowjacket in a multiball fight, duke it out as shrunken Ant-Man, help Hope Van Dyne train Scott Lang, and have an active role in side stories featuring Ant-Man and his friends. Heroes don’t get any bigger!
First off, this is late. I know it’s late. Ant-Man released not long ago. Why is my review late? Well, part of that is down to me being sick, and part is due to a gameplay problem. For the last few weeks I have had massive issues with Pinball FX2 running on Xbox One. Between crashing when loading the game and crashes when submitting high scores, there’s a lot to be said for general gam...[Read More]
The Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron table will allow players to relive the struggle of Earth's mightiest heroes, including Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye against Ultron and his seemingly endless army.
In the aftermath of the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D. during the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye) have come together as a team as they take on Hydra in an amazing opening action sequence. But after an encounter with the Maximoff twins, Pietro (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen), Tony Stark tampers...[Read More]
While at C2E2 this past weekend, I wasn’t just talking about action figures and ogling Spandex-clad gentlemen. While this convention is mostly about comics, there are usually some games on display there as well. I got to chat with some of the team from D3 Publisher, which is the company that brought us one of my favorite Nintendo DS games ever: Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. They w...[Read More]

I’m sure Deadpool had Weasel’s help putting this together, what with all of the video editing and special effects work that had to be done. That being said, he did a great job at presenting his game in a professional manner, as well as introducing his best buddy Cable! For me, Deadpool’s time with Cable was one of my favorite comic runs ever, so color me excited to see them fooli...[Read More]
With Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, there seem to be three camps: anticipatory, apathetic, and dismissive. I place myself firmly in the anticipatory camp, because I honestly think that the potential entertainment value of this game is being nurtured and developed by the right hands: Ubisoft. The trailers, while definitely not representative of gameplay when compared to the less than stellar sc...[Read More]
Thankfully putting our fears of Adam’s demise last week to rest, Adam himself returned triumphantly to this week’s episode of Marooners’ Talk (the 36th of its line), titled, “In Which Rogue Steals Manfaces Instead of Mutant Powers.” Last week, we discussed the Marvel NOW! announcement and what it meant to us (very little). Between the two recordings, I got a look at t...[Read More]
For the most part over the last few months, we’ve managed to keep our podcasting trio intact. Occasionally, however, either Thom or Adam will totally let everyone down and fail to appear on a weekly episode. Last night, Thom and I found ourselves in just one such situation, as Adam may have died (but we’re fairly certain…pretty sure…hopeful that he’s alive). That bein...[Read More]
Activision and Beenox have had an interesting time with Marvel’s most popular hero. Shattered Dimensions was an awesome love letter to the fans, and Edge of Time managed to have a great story (despite a lot of people disliking it). With the history of Spider-Man titles being what it is, does The Amazing Spider-Man manage to soar, or does it plummet? This time, Beenox has done the movie tie-i...[Read More]
