LEGO Marvel Super Hereos Swings Into Retail


Posted on October 22, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

A collection of Marvel Super Heroes from a number of franchises, including the X-Men, the Avengers, Fantastic Four & more swing into action with the launch of Lego Marvel Super Heroes on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, 3DS and other platforms. Developed by long time LEGO videogame series veterans, Traveler’s Tales, this latest game pits the like of Thor, Iron Man, and Spider-Man against villains like Doctor Doom, Mystique, Locki and the Red Skull. All told over 100 members of Marvel’s finest are playable in this latest title.

I think the game is quite adorable, surprisingly the Heli-carrier and New York City skyline look rather detailed, shying away a bit from the LEGO franchise’s established cartoon nature, but don’t worry because the scenery still seems to be full of hundreds of bolts ready for collection! Like most modern LEGO titles, Traveler’s Tales has incorporated voice acting into their games, which was established with last year’s LEGO City Undercover while maintaining that unique whimsical charm they seem to bring to all of their games.

Check out a launch trailer after the jump. Next-Gen versions are also expected out on November 15th on PlayStation 4 and November 22nd for the Xbox One.Read More

Titled Alien: Isolation, this new first person shooter has  reportedly been in development for some time for both current gen (PS3 / Xbox 360) & next-gen (PC / PS4/ Xbox One) platforms  and will hopefully not end up in a similar PR nightmare that Aliens: Colonial Marines became during its launch this past spring.Read More

Posted on October 22, 2013 by Les Major

With our review for Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness just around the corner, I wanted to address fans who aren’t quite sure of what they’ve seen on the store shelves as of late. Disgaea D2, or Disgaea Dimension 2 as it’s known in Japan, is a direct sequel to the original title released ten years ago. Though even if you’ve never played a game in the series before, you won’t be left out in the dark. It’s easy to get into. Spoilers follow, but if you’re looking for reasons to pick it up, read on!Read More
