Since Mass Effect 3 was released a few weeks ago, there's been a lot of controversy over how the game ends. Some fans have advocated storming BioWare's headquarters with torches and pitchforks, others have praised it for daring to embrace color-coding as a storytelling tool, but no matter what side of the debate you're on, there's one thing we can all agree about: Mass Effect would be way better i

As much as I was thrilled by the announcement that Assassin's Creed 3 was going to take the franchise to a new setting during the American Revolution, there's another piece of the parkour-based murderin' game that I've been obsessing over even more: A scene from Velayudham, a 2011 musical action-comedy from India where the main character cosplays as Assassin's Creed's Altair in order to foil a te

Unless you've actually been out in deep space fighting a threat from beyond the galaxy, you probably already know that Mass Effect 3 came out this week. Thanks to a great combination of action and a thrilling story that reflects the player's choices, it's one of the best video game franchises of all time, and a big part of that comes from the distinctive character designs and the memorable enviro

A few weeks ago, we took a look at Julie Farrell's concept art for a video game based on 1989's Gotham By Gaslight. Unfortunately for anyone excited by the idea of a game where you play as Steampunk Batman hunting down Jack the Ripper at the turn of the century, the game never came out...

Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is one of my all-time favorite video game franchises. Bizarre characters, clever storytelling, spirit-channeling, forensic science, people getting murdered left and right -- it's everything you need for a good time...

If you're a regular listener of ComicsAlliance's War Rocket Ajax podcast, then you're probably already aware that I'm in the habit of picking up video games from a few years back on the cheap while we're waiting on newer titles like Saints Row the Third or Mass Effect 3...

For those of you out there who like both Batman and the combination of brass gears, top hats and goggles that is Steampunk, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that, as Kotaku reported last week, concept art by artist Julie Farrell exists for a steampunk-styled Batman game based on Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola's 1989 graphic novel Batman: Gotham By Gaslight...

Way back in April of 2010, Exploding Rabbit blew our minds with Super Mario Crossover, a fan-made game that put an entire team of classic NES characters from different games into the world of Super Mario Bros. Finally, my childhood dream of having Bill Rizer from Contra shoot Bowser in the face was realized...

As I've mentioned before here at ComicsAlliance, my love of the bizarre, over-the-top side of popular art doesn't stop with comics. The strange world of VHS boxes from the golden age of the video store, the lurid, painted pulp covers, I love that stuff. And given that I have fond memories of video store shelves lined with NES games, it shouldn't be a surprise that I love those too. That's why Neil

Despite being one of the greatest super-heroes ever created, Superman hasn't exactly had a lot of luck with video games. His most famous outing in the field, Superman 64, is commonly regarded as the single worst game of the N64 era, and considering a few of the other titles that got the Nintendo Seal of Quality, that's saying something...
