COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: TalkRadar listeners explore comic games without the super powers

Words: GamesRadarChrisAntista on July 31, 2010

Just before heading off to Comic-Con 2010 for TalkRadar 111...

Above: Dramatization! May not’ve happened!

We asked our listeners what non-superhero comics they’d like to see made into games. A proud few did us one better… they created boxart!

I'm noticing a disproportionate amounte of calvin and hobbs. Good, that is one of the best strips ever.

"The Family Circus Slaughter" needs to happen. I've wanted to kill those assholes for over a decade. And once again, Batman5273 kicks ass!

Lot of love for Calvin and Hobbes, and deservedly so. The last one was frickin hilarious, but my favorite was the first C&H art, though if that guy was making them P.I.s he should have gone with Tracer Bullet. reCaptcha: she, Decca Who's Decca?

There already was a Tintin game, It's a platformer for PC. I liked it as a kid but I have a feeling that it wouldn't hold up if I took it out and played it now...

Gawd, I love these! Batman 5273 takes it outta the park as usual. reCAPTCHA: 'make Paul' Make Paul do what? Use inflection when he speaks?

Okay, I'm as much a fan of Calvin and Hobbes as the next guy, but why is almost every other entry here a C&H game? Having said that, I want downhill wagon racer SO bad now, so long as we're promised some toboggan racing DLC
