My Weekend With Marvel Heroes

13 05 2013

Marvel-Heroes-1920x1200

 

 

Every now and again I participate in various betas for MMOs or any other title I can get my hands on. My latest adventure leads me to the game Marvel Heroes from Gazillion Entertainment. Marvel Heroes has actually been a game that has changed styles, genres, developers, and even names over the past 5 years. The title was originally called Marvel Universe Online and was developed by Cryptic Studios to be released for XBOX 360. However the deal fell apart and what was once Marvel Universe became Champions Online. The work laid dormant and changed hands over to Gazillion Entertainment who signed a 10 year contract with Marvel to make games (their first release was Marvel Super Hero Squad Online) and is set to release Marvel Heroes.

PS4: 24 Hours Later

21 02 2013

Last night Sony fired the first shot in the next gen console war, one that has a lot of people talking and a shot I wanted to make sure I really looked at before writing an article like this. I watched the conference live last night, though I did miss a portion of it, and came away less than impressed. I felt very negative towards what I saw and hard harsh things to say the rest of the night to those who watched it with me. As the evening progressed however I decided that is was necessary to watch this conference again. Now 24 hours later, 2 viewings, and plenty of research to see how the gaming community and critics alike have reacted I am ready to share my thoughts.

A Baffling Moment In Gaming Journalism

30 01 2013

I want to start this article by stating an obvious fact.

I am not a Gaming Journalist

I run this blog and write about games for fun. I grew up with games, I sold games, I enjoy talking about them, so I figured why not start a blog? So here I am. I also started a video game podcast with my friends, we tried to incorporate the entire gaming world into what we talk about, but since we don’t do this professionally it’s hard to maintain that. I realized our best shows was when we focused in on our personal interests and opinions. That’s why I changed the show for 2013, to focus on what we play and what we like, not try and be an all encompassing podcast for Video Games. Every now and then however I sit down and listen to other shows, I listen to  them because I either enjoy them or I want to hear how others do it, get ideas for my own show.

Amazing Spider-Man #700: The 2nd Opinion

27 12 2012

AmazingSpiderMan_700_QuesadaVariant_02

 

 

Brian (Smitty) here, I wanted to wait first and foremost for Tim to release his latest episode of Crisis in Infinite Comics before sharing my opinion on this book and what it sets forth for (at least) the next year in the world of Spider-Man. Tim IS our comic guy, he has a longer standing with the genre than I ever will and to jump ahead of him would be wrong. Now that his episode is out (and you can watch that HERE) I want to give my insight onto the 700th and final issue of Amazing Spider-Man.

The Wii U Is Almost Here! What Will Be Out On November 18th?

12 11 2012

We are less than a week away from Nintendo’s next console hitting the market. Since it’s initial announcement the system has had a lot of question marks and the real push for the console didn’t start until the day they finally announces launch dates and pricing. Just about every retailer is out of stock on these consoles, with the basic edition being the only one you can find to Pre-Order at out of the box locations. For those of you already locking up a system, or planning to go out and try to secure one from a store NOT doing pre orders, here what will be out along with my own recommendations for games and accessories.

Nintendo! Convince Me on the Wii U!

9 08 2012

OK Nintendo, you have a new console hitting stores in the next 4 months when is it coming out? Oh, you haven’t said yet. Alright well, how much will it be? Oh, you haven’t announced that either? Oh boy.. this is a very odd strategy for launching a new system that you want to be the hottest things during Christmas 2012. Before we get ahead of ourselves lets take it all back to E3, no not the 2012 edition, but the 2011 convention!

Gaming in 2012: A Look Back

6 08 2012

So we are a month into the second half of 2012 and the gaming industry is ramping up for a big 2nd half with games like Transformer: Fall of Cybertron, Borderlands 2, Assassin’s Creed III and the launch of the Wii U. Before we get too deep in those games I think it’s only appropriate to take a look back and see what came out of the first half of 2012. There were certainly mega blockbuster titles, some nice surprises, and a few duds even. So lets take a quick refresher course on what all we encountered earlier this year.

The Victims of a Colorado Tragedy

20 07 2012

 

 

By now you have woken up to a story of how midnight movie goers outside of Denver were massacred. Fifty people are currently recovering and 12 – 14 have passed away. I am not here to give you the details of this story, I will not breakdown the happenings of this tragedy, nor will I link you to any site that has massive coverage. If you want details you can go to any news site out there in the world. What I want to do here on my site is speak on those who have fallen victim to this crime that took place early this morning. Those are the people who deserve our attention, our prayers, and our concerns.
