Get ready for the newest story arc, which will be releasing soon. Written by Dan Slott and artwork by Humberto Ramos.

Goodbye Bizarre, You Will Be Missed

As most of you probably know by now, Bizarre Creations has closed its doors. Activision decided to retire the company a few months back. Bizarre made such hits as the PGR franchise, Geometry Wars 1 and 2, and the surprisingly good 007: Blood Stone. As a thank you to the BIzarre team, their trailer editor put together this absolutely beautiful tribute to them. The tribute showcases two things: Bizarre was an incredible developer, and that Activision made a terrible mistake.

Dead Island Developers Release Teaser Video

We have no idea how good the game will be, but this promo video for Dead Island is definitely worth watching, and speaks well for the people making the game.  There’s no actual gameplay footage, it is just a little teaser about the premise of the game; zombie survival horror on an a resort island filled with wholesome vacationing families.

Trailer Tracker: X-Men: First Class, Hoodwinked Too! And more

Unless you’ve been living under some sort of Internet-deprived rock, it should come as no surprise our featured trailer this week is X-Men: First Class fromKick-Ass director (in more ways than one mind you) Matt Vaughn. With a fresh cast, can this prequel live up to its mostly admired roots? Also, for you non-mutant lovers, we have the long-delayed sequel for the fairytale satire Hoodwinked!, now graced with the two in-title puns which result in: Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil. Horror fans can also get a taste of Darren Lynne Bousman’s 11-11-11, as can those who fancy drama with Oranges and Sunshine starring Hugo Weaving. Same for those who thirst for trashy exploitation with the interesting (to say the least) clip for Howlin’ For You. Must be a full moon, it’s Trailer Tracker.

Dear Esther – Preview

I’ve repeatedly said that the greatest advantage that PC’s have over consoles is that PC gamers get to make mods for our games, and play mods made by other fans.  This often leads to us having to suffering through amateurish crap, but there are also some terrific mods out there that are better than many full-fledged games. In fact, occasionally a mod team will create a product so good that they will be noticed by a professional developer and their mod will get turned into a full game.  An excellent example of this is the Half Life 2 mod Dear Esther.

DC to Pull the Plug on the Following Books

DC has released their April 2011 solicitations. The folloing titles are reciving their FINAL ISSUE. So enjoy them while you can. They’ve said that it’s to make room for Flashpoint titles, which is typical of DC. They usually use event books as an excuse to thin the heard of low selling books. Usually fans of the books get really ticked off and begin a petition to keep their title going, but it never works. If this were Marvel on the other hand they would just put out the new titles as well and flood the market. Which is better? Who knows?

Telltale Unveils Jurassic Park Game and 2011 Line-Up

Last year Telltale announced that they were working on both a series of adventure games for the classic movie franchises Back to the Future and Jurassic Park. With the recent release of the first two episodes of the Back to the Future game, many people were left wondering when we would see Jurassic Park and how it would be different to Telltale’s other products.

Recently Telltale announced several games that they will be bringing out
over the course of 2011. First up was the unveiling of the Jurassic Park
game with the trailer below.

Hector: Badge of Carnage Coming to the PC

Hector: Badge of Carnage “Episode 1: We Negotiate With Terrorists” was a particularly fun and hilarious point-and-click adventure game for the iPod that featured solid writing and a unique hand drawn art style. It followed the titular Detective Inspector Hector as he rushed around the British town of Clappers Wreake trying to resolve a hostage situation.

Despite
its cartoony art style, Hector is quite clearly designed to be played
by more adult audiences with its own unique brand of humor as the
trailer below clearly illustrates. The game was quite well received and
it’s well worth checking out on the Appstore.
