Review: The Walking Dead: Episode 1 Is a Must Play (Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network)

I love The Walking Dead TV series.  What’s not to love?  Even with the drastic changes that have taken place with season 2 (mostly with the departure of producer Frank Darabont), it’s retained all the awesome intensity and scares of the comic book series.  With that, Telltale Games has followed suit with the first of its five-part Walking Dead game saga, one that deviates from events in the show, opting instead to tell its own scary tale.  And you know what?  It’s a damn good one.

RUMOR: Rocksteady Studios Working On Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game?

We do love ourselves a good Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game.  Just ask us how many countless hours we spent on Xbox Live Arcade playing the original arcade game, beating the crap out of Shredder's thugs while having some laughs with friends.  Well, another kind of good game may just be right around the corner, as Rocksteady Studios, the team behind Batman: Arkham Asylum and its Arkham City sequel, could be working on an all new game featuring the New York-based quartet.

Men In Black: Can Activision Get It Right?

The Men In Black haven't always seen the greatest of times when it comes to movies.  The first one was excellent for sure...but the second, not so much.  But they've had even less success in video games, with the last release, Alien Escape, barely getting any attention on the GameCube and PS2.  But hopefully Activision will turn that around next year, as the company is working on a new game in the series to tie in with the upcoming Men In Black III film, which releases next summer.

Comic-Con 2011: Batman: Arkham City: The Collector's Edition We Deserve

Batman: Arkham City is just about three months away from release, and the sheer scope and magnitude of the sequel make it look like it'll easily top Game of the Year-winner Batman: Arkham Asylum.  Bigger stages, ability to play as side characters (Catwoman and Robin, namely), new villains...just every aspect of the game looks to be better than ever.  But what about the collector's edition of the game that's making the rounds?  Will it be better?  It sounds that way...

No More Heroes - A Wii-make That Time Forgot?

To many, the idea of updating a Wii classic to the PS3 complete with spruced up graphics and Move support should seem like heaven; I mean to date the Move still lacks in number truly innovative titles and No More Heroes from the Wii stables is perhaps the most ‘adult’ of all its titles, complete with blood, violence, gore and not to mention intermittent sexuality and Manga niceties; you can see the appeal.

Will Sega Release Marvel’s The Avengers Video Game Next Summer?
Production is underway in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated 3D movie Marvel’s The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon (Serenity) from a screenplay by Whedon.  The film will continue principal photography in Cleveland, Ohio and New York City. Set for release in the US on May 4, 2012, Marvel’s The Avengers is the first feature to be fully owned, marketed and distributed by Disney, which acquired Marvel in 2009. With Sega releasing video games based on most of the Marvel superheroes, including Thor and Captain America this summer, don’t be surprised to be the game giant release a video game expansion of this new movie next summer. The only catch is that Disney also owns a game studio, so they could develop a game internally.
