I Got Lego Marvel

I finally got the game yesterday. So far it's awesome. And I have no doubt in my mind that it will continue to be a great game.

Thank you everyone for your views and support:

Luigi

I love Luigi and I'm glad that he's getting some more time to shine. Now you have Luigi's Mansion 1 and 2, New Luigi Bros, and he's more of the focus in the new Mario and Luigi game.

It's about time he gets some more spotlight. I love Mario as much as anyone, but Luigi has been long overdue for this kind of treatment.

Hey there, guys. I'm hoping that the people that read this will check out my youtube channel, link down below. I review things such as comics, video games, anime, and movies. It's a very versatile channel. I'm just simply a hard-working man that reviews the things that he is passionate about.

Thanks for all the support. As always, it's appreciated.

Arkham Asylum

Hey there, guys. Today's review will be Arkham Asylum for the 360, PC, and PS3. I did an upload earlier, but I wasn't happy with it. So stay tuned.

Update: I was unhappy with my review because I didn't do it justice. This game, in all honesty, is a great game. The graphics are breath-taking (especially during the cutscenes), the combat was a breath of fresh air and a lot of fun, and I loved the feeling of being Batman. For the first time in a long time, you were able to feel like Batman with his combat moves, impressive array of gadgets, and dangerous adventures like the one in the game. His life is tough, and this game does a perfect job of bringing that to your attention.

One thing I liked was that the farther you get in the game, the more torn his outfit looks. Batman wears the scars of battle, and I thought that was a great touch. Batman: Arkham Asylum [Game of the Year Edition]

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight will be one of my upcoming reviews. As a big, life-long Batman fan, I absolutely love this movie. It's very realistic in the way they portrayed the Joker. He was just a crazy man with smeared makeup. He was engaging. He made you think. With the Joker, you never knew what he was going to do. But whatever it was, it was going to be big and it was going to mean something.

Mario

Mario has to be one of my all-time favorite game characters/franchises. It got me into gaming back in the early 90's. I remember owning the Super Nintendo, and that Super Nintendo came with a copy of Super Mario World. Never have I seen anything like it. You had everything: great graphics, added power-ups with some old ones returning, the inclusion of several different Yoshis, and a vast world full of imagination.

To this day I still play Mario games. They're fun. They're timeless. Super Mario 64 DS New Super Mario Bros. Wii Super Mario 3D World - Nintendo Wii U Super Mario Galaxy 2

Thor 2

I'm really excited to watch Thor 2 in theaters. I saw the trailer about a month ago and it got me hyped. The movie looks way better than the first, and I actually liked the first one.

Can't wait for Thor to drop the hammer.

Donkey Kong Returns

I never played the full game, but I did play it enough to know that this is a great game. Donkey Kong, and Diddy, return to their platform roots. The game feels like one of the DKC games from the SNES, but it also feels like a brand new game. It's a win-win in that situation.

This is definitely a game I'll be buying on the Wii/3DS. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D Donkey Kong Country Returns

New Star Wars Film

Never did I think that there would be another Star Wars movie; another chance to watch a Star Wars movie on the big screen. Why would I? Why would anyone? The series was done. Good prevailed.

Well, there will be another one. There is going to be another one, maybe even more. I don't know any of the details, but I do know one thing: I want Luke, Han, Chewie, and Leia to be in it.

Lego Games

I always loved Legos as a kid. They were unique and were rather fun to play with.

When I saw that they were making a Lego Star Wars game, I wasn't too impressed with it. However, once I did play it in 2008, I was hooked! I loved the silliness in the cut-scenes. Their expressions were cute and fun to look at . The gameplay was really unique for me. You were allowed to use the force to move objects around. The currency in the games come in the form of studs. You then use the studs to buy stuff such as characters.

That was back in 2008. Since then, I have played Lego Batman, Lego Batman 2, Lego Indiana Jones, and Star Wars: The Complete Saga. I'll be buying Lego Marvel for sure. Can't wait for that one!

Bottom line: I'm happy I played it back then. Had I not, I wouldn't have discovered the fun and creativity that goes into these games. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga - Xbox 360 Lego Batman LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes - Xbox 360

Mario and Luigi: Dream Team

Now, I only played the demo version at Target. However, if the demo is anything to go by, then this game will be fantastic once I do play it.

I love the way you interact with your enemies while in battle. I also really enjoy the innovation that went into this game--from the giant Luigi battle to the double team attacks.

This is a game that I will definitely be getting once I buy a 3DS. Nintendo, you did good.

Browsing

I don't know about you guys, but I love to browse through the video game/ movie section at the store. If the place has a comic section, then I browse through that too--even if I don't have any money.

It's fun to browse. Not only do I get to pass the time doing something that I enjoy, but I can also sometimes find some cheap movies at the sore.

As for comics, I love going to Barnes and Noble and looking at them/reading them. It's a good way to keep that passion alive and also keep up with the latest comics.

Digimon

Digimon was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I remember getting up on Saturday morning just to watch it. I would also set the VCR up so that it could record it.

Such a great show. I honestly feel it holds up really well.

I just hope I did it justice in my review.

Passion

Passion is something that I admire in someone. Passion is also what I feel I need to have. After all, it's that passion that keeps me going. That's why I review the stuff that I enjoy, that I love. It makes my channel more fun for me, and that's a great goal for me to have.

A Format Change

You'll notice that I made my title longer. That is because I want to have one blog that covers all of my Youtube subjects. Since I have them all covered, that means I can share ALL of my videos on Blogger. I also wanted to keep my topics relevant. All in all, it makes perfect sense.

Metal Slug

I have always loved Metal Slug. In fact, it's one of my all-time favorite game series. What's not to love? You go around stabbing, shooting, and blowing up your enemies with rocket launchers.

It's one of the games that I will be doing a "Lets Play" of. Metal Slug Anthology - Nintendo Wii Metal Slug 7 - Nintendo DS Metal Slug XX - Sony PSP

Gaming with the Kwings - Lego Marvel: Exploring New York co-op fun!

Lets Play (Future)

I'm a proud, life-long gamer. I'll say more about that later on in a future video, I promise.

One thing I really want to do is a Lets Play. If things go smoothly, and if I have a great time, which I know I will, then I will do more. I'm just going to do one to test out the waters.

Comic Book Recommendations?

Hi there, guys. Good evening.

I wanted to ask you guys a question. That question is: what would you guys recommend? I'm into Spider-Man, Batman, The Avengers, Legion of Superheroes, and the X-Men.

My collection of trades so far:

Death of the Stacys
Kraven's Last Hunt
Batman Year One
Batman Arkham City

Lego Marvel Super Heroes Is Finally Out!

After quite the hype, after all the wait, it is finally here! I was at Target today and I went to the video game section. Not only because I love games, but mainly because I knew what game was coming out today. So I see the game with my own eyes and I am just in awe. Sure, it might seem silly at first, but it makes sense. Lego Marvel is something that combines two of my passions, comics and video games, into one nice package.

I can't wait to get this game.

The Mighty Titan (part 2)

I never thought this would happen. When I started my channel, I was just a guy, a geek that was reviewing what he loves--video games, comics, and movies-- on youtube. I planned on only doing reviews for Marvel/DC, as that's what I collect.

However, yesterday that changed. I talked to the creator on Twitter. He's a nice guy, and he responded to me often, which I liked a lot. He is also an inspiration to me.

All in all, the book is very good. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

I would recommend checking out his Twitter:

The Mighty Titan

Lego Marvel Super Heroes

I have been following this game for a long time. The wait is finally over. Lego Marvel will be released tomorrow, I believe. I so can't wait to play this game. I'm going to love swinging around as Spider-Man, flying around as Iron Man, hovering with Thor, and throwing cards with Gambit.
I would suggest to follow Joe Martino (https://twitter.com/jgmcomics). He's a nice guy and very cool with the fans like myself. He is involved with comics. Right now, I'm reading The Mighty Titan and it's really good; love the art.
The cool thing about Youtube is that you can connect with people that share the same interest, the same passion that you have. It's because of Youtube that I can make videos, have fun, be passionate, and share that with others.

I would recommend watching this guy's videos. They're really good:

A Needed Change

Hello all! I feel I needed to make a change in the title of my blog. Sure, the change may not look like a big deal, but I think that it is. It expands the topics that I can talk about while it being relevant to my blog.

Not only do I have a passion for comic books (and the Superhero genre in general), but I also have a genuine love for video games.
I so can't wait for my birthday! I plan to be getting Lego Marvel Super Heroes (huge Marvel fan) and a copy of Batman Arkham Unhinged. I will be getting other comics on that day. When I do, I'll upload a video on Youtube for you guys.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the support.

Spider-Man 2 is one of my favorite Superhero movies off all times. It's well acted. The characters feel so real with their personalities and conflicts. Last but not least: the action is awesome and creative.

Thrift Store Comics

Hey there, guys. I just wanted to let you guys know if you like cheap comics, if you like deals, then I would suggest going to thrift stores in your town. I have one in town that has a ton of comics for 50 cents each. Yesterday I got two comics, you can see them in my comic haul video, at another thrift store in town.

As a guy that likes bargains, that likes building my collection, I would highly suggest doing this.

Batman Year One

Comic Book Haul

On Saturday I had a very small comic haul. I have a video of it on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFHUsJOS750

Comic Haul

I've always been into the whole "Super-hero" thing. That's why my Youtube screen-name has Gambit in it. That's also why I do a ton of comic-related reviews on my youtube channel. Check it out and let me know what you think. Subscribe if you like.
