The posturing and guessing is over; Robin will be a playable character in the new challenge modes in the upcoming Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment game Batman: Arkham City. I love the Robin character (Chris O’Donnell is a guilty pleasure) and everything they’ve been putting out for the game is looking fantastic. The trailer cut to [...]

New Batman: Arkham City Trailer Gives Us Catwoman
Forget Robin, you’ll get to play as Catwoman in the anticipated sequel Batman: Arkham Asylum was without a doubt one of the best comic book-based games of all time. Giving fans the chance to roam the famed institution while taking on Joker, Bane and Poison Ivy was as thrilling as it was perfectly crafted. We’ve [...]
GOTHAM CITY: IMPOSTORS Video Game
I don’t know where to start so let’s start with the basics, this is a new multiplayer video game loosely based on the Batman comic - Batman: Impostors. Not much is known about this new Batman game but I’ll tell you what the rumors are. Gotham City Impostors is going to be a downloadable game on [...]
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Episodes 5 & 6
Two weeks ago, we got the first part of the two episode story arc detailing the childhood of Kitana in the Mortal Kombat: Legacy series. It was fairly unimpressive, using a lot of rough animation that doesn’t feel like it should fit with the way the web series has been going. Last week, they gave [...]
THOR: Bring the Thunder!
“Thor is really angry and is ready to BRING THE THUNDER!“ Do you remember the Scott Pilgrim game that was released about the same time as the movie? Do you remember how awesome it was!? Well similar to that style, MARVEL and BixPixel Studios has made a free browser game, THOR: Bring the Thunder, to [...]
Mortal Kombat Episode 4: Kitana & Mileena
This week’s Mortal Kombat episode was sort of weird for the series. While the first three episodes have been fairly grounded in reality, this week we took a step outside Earthrealm and were introduced to the works of Shao Kahn and his evil army. The episode begins with voiceover, with a motion comic style explaining [...]
THOR: GOD OF THUNDER Trailer
SEGA released a CGI trailer for their video game tie-in to the movie Thor. No gameplay footage but it’s nice to see the baddies you’ll be facing in the game. Now, I’m not a fan of Thor so I couldn’t tell you who those villains are so help me out in the comments. Thor: God [...]
COD: CALL OF THE DEAD
I don’t like COD, it’s boring, repetitive and the annual games have little differences with fewer added features. Sure, World War 2 was a big war but do we need 18 games about the same thing? I’m not the only one who hates it, check this out! As much as I couldn’t care about this [...]
MORTAL KOMBAT: LEGACY Episode 3: Enter The Cage
Ok, yes, that was cheesy. In this episode, the focus is not on Jax or Sonya but a Johnny Cage. This so far is my favorite episode, it shows the rise and fall of Johnny Cage and what drove him to the Mortal Kombat tournament. In the short time limit of the episode, I felt [...]
GOD OF WAR 4?
E3 is getting closer with each passing day and more news gets leaked. Sources are telling PSM3 that another installment to one of my favorite series is coming. As a big fan of the franchise, this worries me. I know the 2 PSP spin off games were really cool and fit outside the timeline of [...]

MORTAL KOMBAT: Songs Inspired By Warriors
Not too long ago, fellow FanBoy, Jordan Tunney, compiled a playlist for some of his favorite Batman villains. With the release of the new Mortal Kombat, Warren Brothers had an idea to get a handful of artists to make songs for their favorite fighter. It’s pretty cool to get different sounds for each fight because [...]
SPIDER-MAN: EDGE OF TIME – Video Game
Remember when Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions came out and I reviewed it in a positive way? Well, if you do then you might understand why I’m excited about this Shattered Dimensions 2 …Edge of Time.

Did you see it!? The new trailer for Batman: Arkham City is out exclusively to IGN but we’re embedding it because it’s damn awesome! The trailer has game play footage, in fact, I’m pretty sure it’s all in game footage! It looks great! I had to watch it twice and chances are, this won’t be [...]

SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D’s Leading Lady
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, Silent Hill’s second movie, is based on the 3rd game, apparently. I didn’t play 3 because I was too damn scared of 2. “Adelaide Clemens is taking on the role of Heather Mason, the playable teenage daughter of Harry Mason from Silent Hill 3″ says Kotaku. “Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is [...]
DEAD SPACE 2: SEVERED DLC
Dead Space 1 and 2 were revolved around Issac Clarke, anything else Dead Space related is a different side of the story. If you are playing Dead Space 2 on the PS3 and so happen to have a Move controller, you might have ventured on to play the Move enabled HD version of Dead Space: [...]
