I’m sure Deadpool had Weasel’s help putting this together, what with all of the video editing and special effects work that had to be done. That being said, he did a great job at presenting his game in a professional manner, as well as introducing his best buddy Cable! For me, Deadpool’s time with Cable was one of my favorite comic runs ever, so color me excited to see them fooling around on screen. Well, if I ramble on much longer, I’ll probably get a visit I won’t enjoy from a particular anti-hero wondering why his trailer hasn’t been shown yet. Take a look and enjoy: Read the full story

With Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, there seem to be three camps: anticipatory, apathetic, and dismissive. I place myself firmly in the anticipatory camp, because I honestly think that the potential entertainment value of this game is being nurtured and developed by the right hands: Ubisoft. The trailers, while definitely not representative of gameplay when compared to the less than stellar screenshots included below, are exhilarating and exciting. Check out the newly released trailer and screenshots to see the newly revealed included characters: Super Skrull, Iceman, Dr. Doom, Storm, and Venom. Read the full story

Thankfully putting our fears of Adam’s demise last week to rest, Adam himself returned triumphantly to this week’s episode of Marooners’ Talk (the 36th of its line), titled, “In Which Rogue Steals Manfaces Instead of Mutant Powers.” Last week, we discussed the Marvel NOW! announcement and what it meant to us (very little). Between the two recordings, I got a look at the Uncanny Avengers #1 cover for Marvel NOW!, and it was fugly (see it below). Deadpool crashed High Moon Studios’ Comic-Con panel to announce his own game, Mass Effect 3 gets brought up again in a negative context (we’re on a roll), and Thom and Adam talk World of Warcraft for a while.

For the most part over the last few months, we’ve managed to keep our podcasting trio intact. Occasionally, however, either Thom or Adam will totally let everyone down and fail to appear on a weekly episode. Last night, Thom and I found ourselves in just one such situation, as Adam may have died (but we’re fairly certain…pretty sure…hopeful that he’s alive). That being said, allow me to present to you Episode 035 of Marooners’ Talk, “In Which We Mourn the Loss of Adam.” Hopefully this episode title does not end up being literal, after the fact.

Activision and Beenox have had an interesting time with Marvel’s most popular hero. Shattered Dimensions was an awesome love letter to the fans, and Edge of Time managed to have a great story (despite a lot of people disliking it). With the history of Spider-Man titles being what it is, does The Amazing Spider-Man manage to soar, or does it plummet? This time, Beenox has done the movie tie-in game (a scary prospect), but they’ve done a lot more than that. They may have actually nailed what it takes to have the definitive Spidey game.

When Sony announced that they’d reboot Marvel’s biggest film franchise (at least, Marvel’s biggest film franchise before The Avengers came out), fans were divided. Some thought it was a cheap cash-in, and have hoped for its failure so that the rights would revert to Marvel in order for it to be tied to the Avengers. Others have hoped for a film closer to their idea of Spidey as opposed to the Sam Raimi trilogy. Personally, I was hoping for a fresh take on the character, akin to what Christopher Nolan did with Batman. And wouldn’t you know it, I got my wish.

When Ubisoft pushed out PowerUp Heroes last year, I immediately saw it as a shovelware title. There was little promotion in the lead-up to it, and it was just suddenly released at a budget price point. When the title showed up at my door, I gave it a try, and found myself pleasantly surprised. I immediately felt like I was back on the playground during recess, running around pretending to be super heroes fighting each other. The mechanics were good, the graphics were fun, and the game as a whole was an unlooked for success. Now, Ubisoft is bringing the same concept of PowerUp Heroes to a AAA property: Marvel’s Avengers. Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth is scheduled for a Fall 2012 release, and will be available for the Wii U and the Xbox 360 Kinect. Read the full story
