‘The Avengers: Battle For Earth’ E3 2012 Hands-On Preview [Video]
In the absence of an official video game tie-in to The Avengers movie this summer, fans have been eager for information about Ubisoft's new motion controlled title, The Avengers: Battle For Earth, which is slated for release later this year on the Xbox 360 Kinect and Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console...
‘The Walking Dead Game Episode One: A New Day’ is Pretty Killer [Review]
Let's get one thing out of the way for those who expected the worst out of a licensed The Walking Dead video game -- it's not a mindless zombie killing simulator.

‘Batman: Arkham City’ Artist Carlos D’Anda Talks Comics, Games and Digital
Batman: Arkham City is almost mythical in its pedigree. Not only is it the sequel to what many consider to be the best licensed video game of all time (Rocksteady Studio's Batman: Arkham Asylum), it also exists in comic book form as a six-issue monthly miniseries from DC Comics written by Paul Dini and illustrated by Carlos D'Anda, two of the games' principal authors...
ComicsAlliance Demos ‘The Darkness II’ Game & Free Comic Book Day Tie-In
