Our quick take Need for Speed Unbound - 4.0 / 5 Back behind the wheel Adding some swagger Track meet Framed To recap Need for Speed Unbound won’t win any awards for gameplay originality, but it is a welcome return to form for a series that has had more downs than ups in recent times. Criterion Games has returned to the genre it knows best and has crafted an arcade racer that is, at its very core, enormous fun....

Nelson Riddle is a patron saint of comic book entertainment. He arranged the theme to Batman, the original 1960s camp classic TV series which paved the way for all things geek. That theme caught the excitement children of all ages felt from the moment of the twirling introductory horns through the POWs and ZOKs of the opening battle. Full-set drum rolls propel a swing-blues rhythm section through an ever-building cascade of wonder....

Listen up ye lilly-livered landlubbers, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is bearing down on port this October, intent on pillaging pockets, raiding retail shelves and slaying a ship’s worth of console competition. Brimming with sandbox shenanigans, multiplayer hi-jinks, and Caribbean-set sleuthing, this latest entry in the time-spanning series introduces an all-new cast of cutthroats and cravens, many of whom you may already know. With a franchise cast that includes a who’s who of famous faces from history, from Richard the Lionheart to Leonardo Da Vinci and good old Benjamin Franklin, Black Flag was never likely to sail far away from the pirating period’s best-known braggarts....

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is dropping the D&D equivalent of a nuclear bomb into campaigns, as it has been revealed that there is a magic scroll that will summon a tarrasque into a nearby space, causing it to go on a rampage. The tarrasque is one of the strongest monsters in each edition of Dungeons & Dragons, to the point where it’s often considered the ultimate foe. Previous editions of D&D required the player to perform ridiculous feats of heroism in order to keep the tarrasque down for good, such requiring the use of a miracle or wish spell to make sure it stayed dead....

It would seem that yet another sneak preview of Zack Snyder’s Justice League has made its way to the internet, courtesy of HBO Max. One of the biggest additions to the new director’s cut of the film is the reintroduction of Darkseid, who was originally intended to be the main villain but was cut out when the project was reduced severely in scope after Batman V. Superman. When Snyder came around to announce that he would be getting an opportunity to take the film and bring his version of Justice League to the world, one of the first announcements made was that the supervillain Darkseid would be put back in as the overarching bad guy....

Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: Days of Future Past may have set box office records around the world for their respective film franchises this year, but on the video game front, all they got was some mobile tie-ins. While we do love GlitchSoft’s Days of Future Past sidescroller (which honors the comics more than the film) and it is a big improvement over Aeria Games & Entertainment’s X-Men: Battle of the Atom, where are the triple-A games?...

Unfortunately, neither Microsoft nor Black Tusk was willing to provide answers at that time.

Now that some time has passed since that announcement, however, Black Tusk has provided a few additional details about Gears of War development....
