I was excited enough about the Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?! game that I sprung for the Collector's Edition and its big ol' Enchiridion-lookin' box. The combination of Adventure Time, WayForward (the developers behind Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Contra 4) and the bits I got to play at conventions this year had me really looking forward to sitting down with my

I'm not really a fan of MMORPGs. Nothing against the genre and its millions of fans, you understand, but I've checked, and it turns out that very few of them allow you to play as 50 Cent on a quest to recover his jewel-encrusted skull, and that sort of thing is very important to me when it comes time to make my entertainment choices...

For every Arkham City, there are two or three Superman 64s out there making life hard on anyone who just wants to punch out super-villains. That's why we here at ComicsAlliance believe that the good ones should be celebrated, and why we think that it's finally time to put the spotlight on one of the most underrated classics

Last weekend, I flew across the country from my home in South Carolina to Los Angeles, California for WWE SummerSlam weekend -- and believe it or not, this was technically a business trip. See, part of the reason I went out there was to test out WWE '13, the next video game based on World Wrestling Entertainment, set for release this October...

When I was a kid, I'd start bugging my mom every Friday after school to drive me over to the video store so that I could rent a video game before all the good ones were gone, and the reason I knew which ones were good -- or thought I knew, anyway -- was that I was a subscriber to Nintendo Power...
