For better or for worse, Telltale’s first regularly scheduled miniseries The Walking Dead: Michonne has been a familiar experience to just about anyone who’s played, seen or read anything set in the world of the giant multimedia franchise that The Walking Dead is. At the end of episode two, the shit was about to hit the…
Michonne’s foray in Telltale’s The Walking Dead games felt like it had a rocky start in episode one. Given their experience with working with established characters in their previous series, like Game of Thrones and Back to the Future, it would seem that they’d nail making such a fan favorite character like Michonne into very compelling protagonist. For better…
Although it doesn’t stray from Telltale’s usual M.O, The Walking Dead: Michonne‘s first episode delivers the starting bits of what could turn out to be great development for one of the comic book and TV show’s most beloved characters. Including established characters in a companion piece of media is always a shaky proposal for any popular franchise. It’s…
In more than one way, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is one of the best playing Assassin’s Creed games in years. Then again, such a claim isn’t really worth much, all things considered. The Assassin’s Creed games have always played considerably well, even when mired by awful level design, cumbersome control schemes and strict insta-fail stealth scenarios….
When it was originally released, the film Donnie Darko didn’t do very well. Opening in cinemas just a few months after 9/11, it only managed to recoup $500,000 in general release. However, over the next few years it slowly gathered a cult-following, and when the Director’s Cut was released in 2004 it gathered widespread praise…
After all the drama with Keiji Inafune’s departure Capcom and the company’s apparent effort to drive the light away from his works as a result of it, the Mega Man franchise saw little in terms of releases, with a couple cameos here and there, but nothing substantial. Given the characters humongous popularity during three videogame generations…
Personally, American football has always been a double edged sword to me. On one of its sharp ends, it’s a sport that’s relatively easy to follow and understand, while on the other, the matches take way too long and their pacing is incredibly boring to me. So after hearing about the original Blood Bowl and how…
Just embrace the wacky in Alex Jackson’s video review of Rock Band 4.
Of all film franchises that have had any influence of videogames, the one that I can imagine have made the deepest contribution has got to be the Mad Max series. Games like Borderlands and The Last of Us have painted gorgeously distopic experiences, each on their own unique way, based somewhat on what Mad Max…
Rocksteady has finally put the conundrum they themselves created to bed. Their new Batman game, Arkham Knight, proves that there can be too many Batman games. Granted, they have been on a steady decline quality-wise ever since the original, fantastic Arkham Asylum, but the series is far from being considered anything remotely close to bad….
