Video Games

I was never that into RPGs as a kid. I preferred action games, like the ones where you fought Draculas with whips or used a raccoon tail to fly. As a result, I never really played Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest, but even I remember seeing the iconic happy-faced Slimes from the games pop up in the pages of Nintendo Power -- and never once did I think "you know, I bet those things are delicious...

With over two million copies sold in its first week of release, it's pretty safe to say that Batman: Arkham City, the new game in which Batman punches his way through a massive prison built out of Gotham City itself, is a pretty big hit. That means that we're pretty likely to see another sequel out of the franchise that continues its story, things are definitely going to be interesting if a certai

To say that Batman: Arkham City was one of this year's most highly anticipated games is underselling things quite a bit. After all, its predecessor, 2009's Arkham Asylum, holds the world record for being the most critically-acclaimed super-hero game of all time, and with good reason...

Batman: Arkham City, the long awaited video game sequel to 2009's Arkham Asylum, is finally out. And just in case you needed yet another reason to play it, we have found the best one yet. In a video entitled "Batman's An A-Hole In Arkham City," the folks over at IGN have showcased two minutes of Arkham City's Batman being mean to people, to hilarious effect...

  If you've rifled through a quarter bin any time in the past fifteen years, then you've probably seen your share of comics starring Prime, the flagship character of Malibu's short-lived Ultraverse imprint. Prime's career in comics was pretty brief, but in less than four years of publication, he managed to appear in a cartoon, get optioned for a movie that was in development as recently as 2004, a

Do you love video games? Do you hate trees so much that you want them to be chopped down as fast as possible, possibly because you were a victim of tree-based crime when you were a child? If the answer to both of those is a resounding yes, then have we got a trend for you...

A few weeks ago, we found out from Kotaku that Capcom and Sanrio were going to team up for a line of Hello Kitty/Street Fighter merchandise, and I for one haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. Sure, the partnership doesn't actually extend to video games, but what if it did...

As much as I love the Marvel vs. Capcom games -- especially the third one, which allows you to create the Mike Haggar/MODOK team-up that we've all been dreaming of -- there's always been a part of me that wished Capcom would team up with DC instead to make a Batman game...

I think it's fair to say that when I was growing up in the '80s and '90s, Nintendo's Mario was one of the major heroes of my childhood, right up there with Batman, Randy Savage and Michaelangelo the Ninja Turtle. I spent countless hours guiding that guy from castle to castle in search of kidnapped royalty, and along the way, I became very familiar with a world where the traditional ideas of logic

Fans of shouting, spirit-channelling and extremely dubious lawyering rejoice: Capcom has announced that a movie based on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is in production now, directed by Takashi Miike and slated for release early next year...
