Everything Wrong With Deadpool In One Convenient Game Trailer

Deadpool is my second-favourite Marvel Comics character. Seeing him come to life (courtesy of IGN) at the hands of the studio that brought me two stellar Transformers games should be a dream come true, but the more I see of the Deadpool game the more I realise the character I fell in love with back in 1997 has spiralled out of control.


Meet ‘Falcatron’, The Transformer Based On The Ford Falcon XR6

“Commodore” and “Falcon” might be household names in Australia, but they’re basically unknown elsewhere.

Suck It Wolverine, Here’s The Deadpool Game’s Announcement Trailer

Let’s see: Voices in his head? Crude humor? Breaking the fourth wall? Swearing? High Moon and Activision are sending a very strong message that the Deadpool video game, just announced at San Diego Comic-Con, has everything a fan of the character will want. Really, though, is that Nolan North voicing Deadpool?


Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron Breathes New Life Into Classic Characters

Transformers is not just about giant robots shooting other giant robots. It’s about giant robots shooting other giant robots with character.
