Atari Announces “Warlords” Remake

Video game veterans Atari Europe has now announced the remake of 1980’s classic castle defense game Warlords.

Originally on the Atari 2600, Warlords
is an action strategy game where up to four players must defend their
castles from mischievous minions and a fire-breathing dragon as they
multitask in order to build defenses and rally troops in order to gain
control points and destroy other factions. As well as the original
premise of the game mixed with new layers of strategy, players can
experience a mix of online competitive and cooperative game modes,
including co-op siege mode and classic free-for-all battles.

Elephantmen: Man or Elephantman #1 – Review

This one shot issue is being used for new readers to jump onto the series and frankly it does that well. If you’ve never read Elephantmen before then this issue will walk you through the world and events that make the comic. The flip side of that coin is that if you are reading Elephantmen then you’ll be treated to a very bizarre story that acts like a “What If?” tale more than anything else. The story picks up almost instantly where the last issue of the ongoing left off. Hip has just spent the night with Miki only when he wakes up he’s human and no longer a Hippo Elephantman. The thing is that it’s the norm for him as he thinks that he’s a human. Miki tries to seduce him some more before he takes off to work, but Hip heads to the showers any ways. Too bad Miki joins him as she won’t take no for an answer.

MegaCon 2011 – Rumors and Facts

Well Megacon 2011 is under way this weekend and beside fraudulent artists the big story is that after Brightest Day, Geoff Johns will be moving over to a monthly Aquaman title. That’s where the facts portion of this article ends. You may remember last weekend we picked up on the self generated rumor from DC comics about a superstar writer and artist taking over on JLA well it looks like the it may be Geoff Johns. But wait the rumor gets better! He might be co-writing with Grant Morrison! But wait it gets better! The artist is rumored to be none other than Jim Lee! Again this is just rumors, but its seems likely since DC blundered and told us that there was a new team taking over the book and that Johns is confirmed for one more title outside of Green Lantern, Flash and Aquaman. So what do you think? Do you want to see Geoff and Grant team up on JLA and once again make it a book worth reading?

Michael Jackson: The Experience

Publisher: Ubisoft
Release Date: April 12^th

Michael Jackson: The Experience, already released on the Wii, will now finally be arriving on your Xbox 360 (and PS3 if you’re that kind of guy) console and will feature Kinect support. So you can kind of dance like Michael but not really. Not at all actually. I don’t exactly see the point in this project but maybe MJ fans will love it.

30 Rock – Plan B

Alas, all of the intriguing subplots raised on last week’s reality spoof “Queen of Jordan”  will have to go unanswered because this week 30 Rock jumped back to their usual format with “Plan B”.  While the episode is consistently funny, and brings back some great characters from previous seasons, it never quite hits any highs, or delivers many laugh out loud moments.

Sports Movie Madness: Soccer (Football) Movies – Round 2

The first round of this section of Sport Movie Madness has produced two clear front runners: Bend It Like Beckham andThe Damned United both easily beating their competition. The Football Factory had a narrow victory, beating Shaolin Soccer 5 – 4.

Portal 2 – Preview

A lot of sequels add in more guns, more enemy types, or more explosions, but there’s one upcoming shooter sequel that’s adding in something else: More laughs.  The first Portal game had a few moments of dark comedy, but after a look at the first few minutes of the sequel in a video recently released in the wake of PAX East, it’s clear that Portal 2 is going to be crammed full of laughs.

Outland Preview

What do you get when you take the visuals of Tron, the story of Dissidia: Final Fantasy, and gameplay of Prince of Persia? Why, you get the new PSN game Outland!
From what has come out so far we can tell that the game centers around
the conflict of the two natural forces of this world. It’s your job to
end this while harnessing the power of both sides to do so (this being
done by transitioning from using dark or light energy — red or blue).
While using one or the other, you are able to use certain things that
share that energy and not be affected by that engery when it attacks.
However the opposite is also true. To do damage you must be in the
corresponding energy.
