New Injustice Video Game Trailer; Still No Robin
Hey guys, it’s going to be a slightly slow week. I had a death in the family and went out to attend the services, so everything’s a little backed up. I’m gonna try to get the Hench-Sized Reviews done on time Saturday, but they may be pushed back until Sunday. Until then, enjoy this fun little trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us. They reveal Lex Luthor as a playable character, but still no Robin. The bastards.
Also, certain nerd movie sources are claiming that the Justice League movie will feature a cast of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash, with possible cameos by Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. That’s almost exactly what I predicted. So go me!
6 Random Things to Make Into New Pokemon
As of this writing, there are 649 pokemon. That means several artists and game designers sat down and thought up 649 individual little critters to put into all the Pokemon games, having to make them all unique and interesting in their own right. And with the new Pokemon X and Pokemon Y coming out this Fall, that means there are another 100+ pokemon still to be announced to fill those games. How do they do it? How do they design so many different pokemon?
The answer is easy: they cheat!
If you look over your standard Pokedex, you’ll see that Pokemon games are filled with normal animals that have been given a weird, cartoony twist. There are cows, snakes, giraffes, turtles, pigs, bats, monkeys, scorpions, camels and more. And the designers didn’t stop at animals. There are also a lot of inanimate object pokemon. There are gears, magnets, ice cream cones, balloons and chandeliers. There is even a pokemon that is just a giant, sentient, bag of garbage!
And you better believe I used him in my party!
So for the new games, I’ve decided to help Nintendo out in the creative department. I’ve looked over all 649 pokemon and have found some holes that need to be filled. Here are my six suggestions for what they can use to make the next pokemon!
A Little Music Parody to Start the Morning
Sung to the tune of ‘Thrift Shop’ by Macklemore.
I think that’s a fair and accurate representation of what it’s like to go video game shopping these days. The parody was made by Tim and Alfredo from IGN Entertainment.
The Best Superhero Games are GTA Clones
Does everybody remember Spider-Man 2 the video game? Or the follow-up Ultimate Spider-Man? They were awesome games, and they were essentially just Grand Theft Auto with Spider-Man powers! That sounds like a winning combination to me. Just like this Iron Man version.
That’s absolutely beautiful. The flying looks perfect. The weaponry could use a little work, but it’s still close enough that I wouldn’t complain. Not with flying that good. This was made by fiddling with the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV, otherwise known as ‘modding’. Some people in life have all the skill. It’s similar to a cool Ghost Rider MOD on the same game.
This one is by a person named H1Vltg3. More power to him!
Marvel LEGO Video Game – Because The Universe Apparently Loves Me
They’re going to make a Marvel superheroes LEGO video game. Because hells yes!
Dreams really do come true
I am a huge fan of Marvel superheroes, LEGOs and video games, so this is a no-brainer. Well, that’s not entirely true. I haven’t really played a LEGO video game all the way through since the original LEGO Star Wars games. I even somehow passed on the LEGO DC superhero games. Mostly because they don’t have online co-op. How can a video game in this day and age not have online co-op? It’s ridiculous!
But nonetheless, this is awesome. I only wish LEGO would come out with more Marvel superhero building sets. They’ve got a few for the Avengers movie, a couple Spider-Man sets and then one with Wolverine, Magneto and Deadpool flying a helicopter. What’s up with that? The mini-figs are cool, but I’m not gonna pay $20 for a LEGO helicopter.
Maybe I’ll get super lucky and this new game will feature Multiple Man, Mimic and Phil Urich, all my favorite obscure Marvel characters…
The game will be released for all the major systems sometime this fall. I’m going to pay particularly close attention to the co-op announcements. If they have online co-op, then I’ll pressure my girlfriend or my brother to get it with me. If not, I may pass. In the meantime, maybe the DC superheroes game has gone down in price…
Because everybody knows that Deadpool is the Scrooge McDuck of the Marvel Universe
