I don’t know if you’re into comics or video games, but you probably want to check this trailer out if you are. It “officially” reveals Dante from Devil May Cry and Deadpool as playable characters. I say “officially” because everyone knows what each of these guys’ silhouette looks like from teaser posters. Also, we are now taking theories on what the ending swirly fire is. Dormammu is in the game so it’s probably him, but I’m hoping for Galactus personally. Maybe even Mephisto. Butner...

The past few weeks have been filled with Scott Pilgrim news.  First , we showed you the poster for the upcoming film  and last week we got the teaser trailer as well as an announcement of the name of  the final part of this comic book saga. Well, now we have some news about the upcoming video game by Ubisoft. Now I am not a gamer like some people on the site. Sure I have a Xbox 360 but I use it mostly for Netflix. Here is a  the run down on the Scott Pilgrim video game. The game’s art direction and sprite work is being...

Before I get into another Manga Monday, I just want to say a quick thank you to all the readers who put up with my disappearance over the last month or so. I have now graduated from university and couldn’t have done it without all the fantastic support I have received. So without further delay…. While thinking about this week’s topic I was reminded about how much geek culture crosses over. When someone is a geek in one particular area, it is not uncommon to also find them in another. For example many manga fans are also...

If you weren’t aware, DC Comics hasn’t ever had a video game that’s been generally well-received by the public or critics. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe came close, but let’s face it, that was more of a matter that the game just wasn’t total crap. Over the years though the Batman franchise has been plagued with sub-par games. Personally, I was a fan of The Rise of Sin Tzu, but I was in the minority on that one. Anyway, the Batman games have never captured what it’s like to actually be the dark...

After months and months of waiting, this Tuesday Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 will finally be released. If you haven’t been following, the game will roughly follow the events of Marvel’s Civil War storyline. Details on how this will actually play out as far as gameplay goes hasn’t been touched on as much. In fact, most of the previews and revealings have been on what characters are in the game and how many different costumes each one has. What characters are in the game? How about: Cable, Juggernaut, Green Goblin,...

File this one under: bargain! In the wake of declaring America’s new favorite chapter (chapter 11), Midway has lost it’s baby. The Mortal Kombat franchise has been bought by Warner Bros., publishers of the upcoming game Batman: Arkham Asylum. How does this relate to comics? Because now this means that the same people putting out Batman: Arkham Asylum will also be putting out a new Mortal Kombat vs. DC. Get excited, maybe this next one won’t suck.

My favorite fighting game of all time? Marvel vs. Capcom 2. It has loads of awesome Marvel characters and a perfect 2D fighting system. The game was supposed to be out this past Wednesday on Xbox Live Arcade, but instead has been pushed back to the end of July. It’ll be $15 and you can expect to see a review here on Comic Impact as soon as it’s released. Butner Brimberry Butner@comicimpact.com
