All the Write Moves (Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer)

20/07/2007

In 1983 you, like us, would have played a Commodore 64. It was also the year you could have picked up a copy of 2000AD in the UK, to read it for Skizz written by a young Alan Moore. Twenty-five years later, the worlds of comics and games have definitively separated in terms of experience - so why do we see so many of our favorite comic creator names appearing in the credits of certain games? Rebellion bought 2000AD and Judge Dredd Magazine, Top Cow is half-owned by Eidos and Rockstars marketers ...

3/03/2009

We wouldn’t expect any of you to have noticed, but there are recurring elements in many role-playing games.

E3 09: Why wait? E3's hottest games reviewed NOW (Flip's Twisted World)

5/06/2009

New Super Mario Bros Wii

Getting one of the best platformers of all time with four player support should be a godsend, right? Sorta. And even though the game retains the DS’s impeccable tight and intuitive, the characters goofily occupy a physical space in a relatively small field. “Up To Four Friends!” can now halt your movement, ruin timed jumps, and even swallow you while riding on Yoshi. Furthermore, one player ...

That's why we're interested in games that haven't been seen, announced or ...
