New "Amazing Spider-Man" Game Trailer Looks Fun



It's been a while since I got pretty excited for a new Spider-Man game. I skipped "Shattered Dimensions" and "Edge of Time" because it didn't look good to me. However, Beenox, the same developer of those two games I mentioned, is now making this Spider-Man based on the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man" reboot movie.

Review: Green Lantern Corps #1

Writer: Peter J. Tomasi
Artist: Fernando Pasarin, Scott Hanna

It was disappointing that Peter J. Tomasi's run in "Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors" was just so-so considering his run on the previous "Green Lantern Corps" was a very fun read. He understood the GLC, giving each member their time to shine whenever possible, complete with interesting stories.

I actually liked Tony Bedard's run on "Green Lantern Corps" more than Tomasi's. But it's interesting to see Tomasi back on the title and see what his plans are now that Kyle Rayner is out of the book.

Review: Batman #1


Writer: Scott Snyder
Artist: Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion

Green Lantern titles are the only comic books I read in DC Comics. I get a few collected editions DC's big events from time to time. But when DC announced they will relaunch everything in their line-up, I thought it would be a perfect jumping on point to other titles.

I always wanted to get into Batman, as he's probably the only other superhero I care about in the DC Universe. And with this "New 52" relaunch, I'm sure glad I picked this title up.

Review: Green Lantern #1

Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Doug Mahnke

Based from the past interviews and statements from DC, only the Batman and Green Lantern books are left unchanged in "The New 52." As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This first issue is a direct continuation of Johns' recent "Green Lantern" run. The status quo is all the same. It really feels like it should have been "Green Lantern" #68, but instead we get a #1 issue with a fresh start from all the chaotic madness from the recent stories.

"Street Fighter X Tekken" TGS 2011 Trailer

Capcom has released a new CGI trailer for their upcoming crossover fighting game, "Street Fighter X Tekken," pitting two of the best fighting game franchises against each other.

In this trailer, we see Rufus (so I guess he's confirmed) fighting against another big-bodied character, Bob. We also see a previously revealed character, Zangief, here. Lastly, a Tekken character is teased at the end of the video.

Justice League #1

Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Jim Lee, Scott Williams

Well, it's finally here. The first title to debut from DC's much talked-about line-wide relaunch is now here with Justice League #1. And since it's out, it has gained a lot of attention. I have friends talking about it, wanting to reserve a copy in the local comic book store. Was it able to live up to the hype? Will new readers want this? Is it a good introduction into the new world of DCU?

Green Lantern Infographic

You've probably already seen the Ryan Reynolds-starred "Green Lantern" movie and wondered, "what the hell is Green Lantern about again?" Well let's face it, one of the reasons why that movie didn't go so well is because of the information overload the movie relayed to the audience. Even fans like me thought it was hard to keep up with all the character developments in the movie.

Luckily, I stumbled upon a Green Lantern infographic while browsing Newsarama and decided to share it. It's a good way to familiarize yourself with the Green Lantern universe, if you're still interested. The Green Lantern universe is fascinating and thrilling. However, it's very big and convoluted for new readers to easily understand the concept of the whole character. This infographic explains the background, history and other important things to introduce you into Green Lantern.

DC Comics Superhero Collection #83: GL Kyle Rayner

Finally after 82 issues, they released Kyle Rayner's lead figure. Although I would much prefer for Eaglemoss to have sculpted him in his classic black costume. But anyway here he is.

Batman: Arkham City Gameplay with Catwoman

To give us a little taste on how Catwoman would be like in "Batman: Arkham City", the guys at Warner Bros. Entertainment have released over 10 minutes of gameplay featuring Catwoman in the start.

The video displays Catwoman's moves and tricks using the dynamic attack system of the game. Also, it features Batman showing some new moves (e.g. catching a chair thrown at him and throwing it back) coupled with the familiar fighting system that we all loved back in "Arkham Asylum".

"Batman: Arkham City" is the sequel to the highly acclaimed superhero game, "Batman: Arkham Asylum". With fans calling it the best Batman/superhero game ever made, this highly anticipated sequel is set in a new place called Arkham City. It is five times larger than the previous Arkham Asylum and lets the player roam around freely. Arkham City is the new "security home" for criminals, where they can roam around freely in the streets, build gangs, etc. as long as they within the secured grounds. The sequel introduces a brand new story with returning characters like the Joker, and also some new ones like Two-Face (who you will see in the video below.)
