Cartoon Network gets hyped for the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction video game
Ben has a pretty cool gig. I mean, he’s had, what, three shows so far? Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. He’s had specials, movies, live-action segments, great LEGO toys, and all kinds of products. But one of the only ways to truly get a sense of just how cool it is to live Ben Tennyson’s life is to get your hands on a Ben 10 video game. Papaya Studio, Cartoon Network, D3 Publisher, and the rest of the folks behind the latest gaming adventure, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction, had that specific goal in mind – and it appears the goal was achieved! The game, due out in just a month, on October 5th, features 17 playable characters, including normal aliens, ultimate aliens, and Ben, himself — Fourarms and Rath will appear in special editions. Be sure to check out the trailer right here in this post, then pick the game up for whatever platform you have: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, or Nintendo Wii. (more… )

Topsy Turvy turns the gaming world on its side
The premise is straight forward. You walk around, using the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move. You jump with the UP key, and interact with objects using SPACE. But… then the game flips all around on you, and I mean literally! In Topsy Turvy, you control the environment as much as you control your character. The idea takes similar cues from mind-bending games like the Nintendo Wii’s Super Mario Galaxy. You walk into the walls to rotate the stage, collecting coins along the way, while you avoid pitfalls. Using your brain (and a bit of guess work!) you can solve the riddles ahead of you, raise the flag, and advance to the next stage. Presuming you don’t get so dizzy! (more… )

Disney’s Ducktales could be heading back to videogames
There are many legendary video games from the original Nintendo home console, the NES. Similarly, there are many legendary cartoons from that same 1980s/1990s era. It’s only logical that Ducktales is fondly remembered, as it was an awesome toon and an awesome NES game. If there’s one person in the field who couldn’t agree more, it’s Warren Spector, video game designer extraordinaire. Spector is apparently campaigning Capcom and Disney with reviving the franchise, allowing him control over the new game’s direction, telling Industry Gamers, “A day does not go by where I don’t tell somebody at Disney: ‘Uncle Scrooge, come on! Donald! Huey, Dewey, and Louie! Come on, let me do a duck game!’” And who knows, if Epic Mickey becomes a success for Disney on the Nintendo Wii, a Ducktales sequel could be in the cards. (more… )
