To many gamers, the original Darksiders was a fun surprise during the first week of 2010. Releasing in what is usually the most barren season for game launches, Darksiders was known for blending the art of Joe Madureira with the frenetic action of God of War and the cerebral dungeon solving of The Legend of Zelda. The game delivered a fairly solid action-adventure experience, if not a bit ...

One of the highlights of San Diego Comic-Con for Marvel gaming fans was the debut of the much-anticipated free-to-play MMO action RPG, Marvel Heroes in playable form. I asked the developer Gazillion's Director of Community, Stephen Reid, why they didn't show the game at E3 and he replied, "Because we wanted it to debut it where the fans are." I had a chance to stop by the Marvel booth to get ...

Deadpool literally stole the show during the latter portion of today's Marvel Video Games panel at San Diego Comic-Con by busting open the back doors of Ballroom 6 and announcing his own Deadpool video game developed by Activision's High Moon Studios coming in 2013 (and not a solo Hit-Monkey game, as an early website launch teased). Armed with a megaphone, an actor portraying the Merc With A ...

Out of the five new television series pilots that Warner Bros. world-premiered Wednesday during Comic-Con's preview night in San Diego, The CW's Arrow received the most boisterous response from the packed crowd at Ballroom 20. I'd wager that it was partly from Green Arrow comic book fans reacting to seeing their favorite characters live on-screen, but even without any prior knowledge of the DC ...

Starved For Help, the second episode of Telltale's The Walking Dead video game is finally here, despite a longer-than-expected six week wait in between episodes. I mentioned in my review of Episode 1 that I thought the game was already a stronger experience than the television show and, from the review code Telltale supplied us with to review Episode 2, it feels like the latest installment only ...

It's safe to say by now that Batman: Arkham City is widely considered to be one of the best comic book-based video games ever created. The game's been available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC since late 2011, but has yet to appear on a Nintendo console. That's set to change later this year with the release of Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition for the upcoming launch of Nintendo's ...

Developer Beenox has been releasing Spider-Man video games like clockwork each year since 2010's well-received Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. With this summer's release of The Amazing Spider-Man movie, though, they've been charged with bringing Marc Webb's cinematic reboot into playable video game form with The Amazing Spider-Man video game. I caught up with producer David Boudreault on ...

Cartoon Network's Emmy Award-winning Young Justice television series stars some of the DC Universe's youngest heroes, so it's not a stretch to see a video game tie-in in development. Relatively new publisher Little Orbit has the reins of the game, entitled Young Justice: Legacy. It's an action RPG title and I had some time to check out an early build of the game at Little Orbit's booth at E3. ...

Aside from the 2008 release of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, DC Comics fans haven't had many gaming outlets to play out their superhero fighting fantasies (nothing since 1995's Justice League Taskforce, really). All that's about to change with the release of NetherRealm Studios' upcoming Injustice: Gods Among Us, however. NetherRealm, for those who may not know, is best known for last year's ...

ComicsAlliance made its first trek to the Electronic Games Expo 2012 this past week, taking in a bevy of comic book and superhero related titles including The Avengers: Battle For Earth, the reimagined Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition for Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console, plus Injustice: Gods Among Us, Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes, The Amazing Spider-Man game, Young Justice: Legacy and ...
