Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of video games on the site this week It is time to end this week in video games on a high note as Spider-Man is finally here and out there for all to enjoy. There was a whole lot for that game this week, which was not surprising, but there was also a lot of other titles highlighted out there. Other video games like Hitman 2 and Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Those and we had a chance to see that Kingdoms Of Amalur may be getting a new addition to the franchise. Read More...

Not only that, but also unlock some new things just for Mega Man 11 when it finally launches. Read More...

Capcom We have a list of everything Capcom will have out at SDCC this year coving all the Capcom IPs from Resident Evil to Mega Man to Street Fighter Heads up for all of you Capcom fans out there as they are bringing many of their games to San Diego Comic-Con this year through both demos, panels, and autograph sessions. It will not be all of their titles, of course, but it looks like the focus will be on the Resident Evil 2 remake, Mega Man 11, and the Mega Man X Collection that are all coming in the next six months at different times. Also, it looks like Street Fighter will have its presence out at the event but not in a gameplay demo kind of way. Read More...

Mega Man 11 The release date for Mega Man 11 has been set now and we are able to see a new gameplay mechanic coming with Mega Man 11 in October The date has been set and it looks like Mega Man 11 will be hitting the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on October 2nd this year so that it can keep up with the whole 30th anniversary celebration that is going on for the franchise. Something that I know Capcom wants us all to keep being reminded of with all of the other collections of the past titles coming along with it. Much like many of the other IPs coming to this point.

Mega Man The 30th anniversary for the Mega Man franchise is here and just in time for it, all we have the announcement of Mega Man 11 All of that praying and hoping has seemed to pay off as we are finally getting Mega Man 11 out of Capcom here just for the 30th anniversary of the franchise. Okay, well it is more for some time in the 31st anniversary as it is not slated to drop on the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, or PC until Late 2018, but we all get to know it is coming and will carry the franchise on. No more knock-off Mega Man games as we have a whole new one coming and mixing things up a bit. Yea, look at that, new things for the franchise as well as the whole new game. Read More...

Marvel Heroes The PC MMO title Marvel Heroes has been renamed to Marvel Heroes Omega and is heading to our consoles soon and for the low price of free If you put on your "Way-Back Hat" or have been playing Marvel Heroes for a while now, then you are most likely fully aware on what this game is all about. It is an action-oriented, MMO RPG that Gazillion and Secret Identity Studios put together for us that let us play out the exploits of our favorite Marvel characters in their universe. Some mixed into the current cinematic one and others from the pages of the comics. Read More...

It has been announced that Mega Man is getting a silver screen adaptation of the franchise so let's hope it stays true The title, again, here pretty much takes the cake as it looks like Mega Man is getting a film adaptation for the game and it is slated to hit the big screens and not just straight to DvD. 20th Century Fox will be the big named studio behind this project but before you start your shuddering it looks like Chernin Entertainment has already tapped a few proven and talented people to make sure this Capcom title doesn't go the way of video game movies. Mega Man is one of those titles that will be looked at with a heavy eye so there will be little wiggle room given the franchises popularity and massive Mega Man fan base. Read More...

You all may have noticed lately the onslaught of things like Online Passes, On-Disc DLC, and DLC that have been announced and made before release. Many of you may be under the impression the publisher/developers are just being greedy and trying to squeeze out every penny from you. What you don’t know is the inner-workings behind the scenes. The publishers are losing money this gen due to higher cost of development, and lower economies. They also have long standing arrangements with stores like GameStop where if a game flops they will buy back the product at full price or eat the cost and make zero money back if the store decides to price cut it down to move inventory.

In my travels through the often harsh lands of television, I have come across what might be one of the most amazing things I have ever laid my eyes on: A symphony covering video game themes. If you guys don't already know "Video Games Live" is one part rock concert, one part festival, one part classical symphony concert and all parts amazing. Video Games Live is the brainchild of the legendary video game composers Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, featuring an immersive event with music from your favorite video games performed by top orchestras and choirs. Along with video footage and music arrangements, epic light shows, solo performances and unique interactive segments. Read More...

Mega Man 10 (available on XBLA, WiiWare, and PSN for 800 MS Pts/1000 Wii Pts/$10, respectively) is an incredibly fun and enjoyable entry in the classic Mega Man series. A follow-up to 2008's Mega Man 9 in more ways than just a new number, this game takes a lot of the feedback and criticism the latter had to craft one of the best sidescrolling experiences in years. While there isn't a whole lot Capcom and Inti Creates actually changed in the bigger scheme of things, Mega Man 10 features a lot of new tweaks and balance adjustments that make it far less threatening than its predecessor and more entertaining in the long run. While there are some tough areas in the game, overall I wouldn't call it difficult at all, and perhaps it is one of the most fair games in the series. Read More...

You know, this Eric Ruth guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite people. Not being content with creating a Left 4 Dead drenched in 8-bit nostalgia, this guy took it upon himself to recreate Mega Man 9 in High Definition. To accomplish this, he had to redo every element of the game, from enemy art to music. So essentially what he has done thus far is take a really high profile current title and give it the retro treatment.  Now he has taken what is essentially a retro title - outfit it in high profile-y type goodness - and condensed it into a finely tuned package of incredibly awesome.

NIS America has long been known for bringing over Japanese RPGs and niche titles to the U.S. Not just content with being a videogame publisher here in America, they announced back on February 11th that they will be expanding to include the publishing of anime.

It is the sequel to Persona 3 and takes place approximately ten years after the events of the game. Read More...

So today is Release Tuesday and here's a rundown of what's coming out: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince It's odd that a movie-based game comes out this early before the actual movie (the movie comes out July 15th in the US/UK and the July 29th in IMAX, it should also be noted the movie has been in the can since May of 2008) The game which semi-follows the movie which semi-follows the book will be released for (here we go) the PS2, PS3, 360, Wii, PC/Mac, DS, and PSP. It's rated E10+. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood The prequel to 2006's Western FPS Call of Juarez comes out this Release Tuesday and tells the story of the infamous McCall brothers. Read More...

Black Ace and Red Joker Double the Possibilities If you live in North America and were wondering when you would be able to get your hands on the new iteration of Mega Man Star Force, well they just announced when you can get it. Well kind of. More a general season of the year. Summer of this year to be exact. But it is suppose to be early summer. So we may be talking June-ish if all goes to plan for them. Read More...

Sometime this month, a Mega Man sports drink called "Rockman E Can Drink" is hitting Japanese beverage retailers to mark the launch of downloadable title Megal Man 9. It's made by "original drink" maker Apris and priced at ¥137 (US$1.24). Times like this I wish I was in Japan. Maybe we'll get some here in America. Read More...
