Lego; The Hobbit, Trailer

18/12/2013

The Lego franchise is one of the best in modern gaming. Their high production values mixed with humour for both young and old make them a stand out set of gaming experiences.

The latest addition to the family will be the Hobbit although we all knew it was coming either from previous news or the fact the Lord of the Rings game was a huge success. It is still good to see that the developers have taken the time to sculpt a wonderful approximation of Middle Earth and its plethora of characters.

Look out for more news as the game gets closer but for now just sit back and enjoy.

Skyman will be coming to the fore in 2014

23/9/2013

Skyman the new character from Dark Horse Comics will be making his first appearance in Captain Midnight #4, October 30th!

Skyman #1 is on sale January 15, 2014, in comic shops everywhere!

Below is a brief overview of whats to come and an amazing visual representation of the man in Blue.

Dark Horse will unleash its latest superhero early next year! Joshua Hale Fialkov (Tumor), Eisner nominee and writer of the Emmy-nominated animated film Afro Samurai: Resurrection, is set to pen a brand-new series from the pages of Captain Midnight—Skyman!

Skyman is a four-issue miniseries with pencils by Manuel Garcia and inks by Javier Bergantiño Menor (a.k.a. Bit). Issue #1 features regular and variant covers by Freddie Williams II and Dan Scott!

“So honored to be a part of a line of comics that seek to bring back the classic feel of superheroes but in a thoroughly modern way. Plus, working alongside my buddies Josh Williamson and Fred Van Lente is a true treat,” states Fialkov, referring to the writers of Captain Midnight and Brain Boy, two superhero series that are closely entwined with Skyman.

After an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Captain Midnight, a drunken Skyman accidentally kills an innocent man! Turns out he’s not only an overly patriotic zealot; he’s also a dangerous PR nightmare. Needing a new face for their initiative ASAP, the Skyman Program turns to US Air Force Captain Eric Reid: a wounded veteran on the ropes, looking for a new lease on life. Reid must fight off his personal demons to have any chance of surviving the potentially deadly initiation.

When the Skyman Program plummets, Albright Industries brings in a new hero to make it soar!

Football Manager 14; Why make 1 change when a 1,000 would be better.

14/8/2013

The hours/days/months of my life that this franchise has eaten up makes for scary reading. The pull of constructive tinkering and trying to outdo the professionals are just two of the reasons that management games continue to thrive.

Sports Interactive are not happy with just making an annual update and this year they have near enough tried to reinvent the wheel.

The list of changes is vast over 1,000 if your counting, with the promise the 2014 will be the most realistic simulation of football management ever released.

The game is due to be released before Christmas of this year. If you pre-order the game from a participating retailer (list can be found followng this link) then you will be eligable for a Beta due to be released around two weeks before the games offical release. Best of all your career will carry over to the full game.

To find out more through the wonder of Social Media you can follow the game on Facebook at this link.
However is Twitter is more your thing then you can follow the game @FootballManger and Sport Interactive's Studio Director Miles Jacobson directly @milesSI

'Pretty Deadly' Riding into Image Comics in October

12/8/2013

The Front Cover

Death has always been a menacing character in literature. Now acclaimed writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain, Marvel, Ghost, Osborn) and artist Emma Rios (The Amazing Spiderman,Osborn), are bringing a new face to the role. Her name is Ginny and she is Death's daughter.

The creator owned series will have Ginny as its central focal point as she travels across the West on her stead made of smoke. Her description is one of a mysterious, elusive character placed in a world that will be entirely created by Rios and DeConnick.

The chances of seeing death dealt by a female character is intriguing, this is a reversal of the usual maternal aspect of women and it will be interesting to see where she will be taken over the course of this series.

The first issue of an ongoing series, PRETTY DEADLY #1 will be in stores on October 23.

“The book is absorbing us while breathing on its own,” said Ríos. “Sometimes I feel we are hidden behind a rock, gasping, watching the characters do their things.”

“This book has defied my directives at every turn, but made it up to me in a series of goosebump moments where things came together as if by magic,” said DeConnick.
