Last Game I Finished: Imaginary Range

"We constantly have to revisit 'Why would Donkey Kong do this?' or 'Why would this environment be like this?' And then we start thinking: 'We're making a game about a gorilla wearing a tie.'"
-Michael Kelbaugh of Retro Studios on Donkey Kong Country Returns

"I have to say it's kinda scary how much you know about this game."
-Nicolau Chaud creator of Marvel Brothel

Comics in Crossover Games

9:34 AM on 02.12.2011

Crossovers are the ultimate form of service for any fan. Whether it be video games or comic books, it is something that any hobbyist should get excited about. It is purely a moment of chaos that brings two things we love together in harmony.

Gamers get to have a unique experience that differs from comics and film. We have the ability to place ourselves in the roles of characters that we love. It allows us to experience things outside the norm. It is the fun of playing with your favorite comic book heroes and using all of their strengths to topple the bosses that they would never see in their own worlds.

These are the games that combine the imagination of comic books and the experiences that gaming can only bring.

I think the ultimate fan service is slutty outfits and sexy poses to be honest.

Rise of the Imperfects comes complete with Electra in a g string.

@manasteel88: Oh Rise of the Imperfects. I remember the hype for that game then the damning silence that followed after its release.

The only Elektra I have ever enjoyed:

@occams
The only book I've ever enjoyed her in is Wolverine 103. Wolverine all crazy and ugly over a little thing like having the Adamantium unsuccessfully bonded onto him comes across Elektra. She sees he isn't himself and tries to wake him out of his funk by killing him. He eventually defeats her by showing a samurai will that proves that he isn't completely lost. The whole thing screams cheesy 90s X-men, but I liked the warriors exchange of it all.

Course, she could have been a Skrull impostor so that nullifies the beauty of the moment.

Sir Legendhead

I had a lot of fun with Rise of the Imperfects, actually. Wouldn't mind reading a blog about that one...
