LATE RELEASES
I was hoping to get some games for my oldest daughter and myself for Christmas. Figured our shared genre (comic books) would supply us with something, especially with "Batman: Return To Arkham" and "Spider-Man" slated to drop in 2016...(READ MORE)

COMIC BOOK VIDEO GAMES: WHERE ART THOU?
I will admit that I don't know what goes into the whole decision process in regards as to what gets made into a video game. I am sure that there is a lot that I am completely unaware of, but like many, I can have ideas of what I would want to see come to fruition. I am mainly a comic book and wrestling nerd, and since WWE has the wrestling under control with their 2K series, I'll focus on the comic book stuff I would like to see in video game form...(READ MORE)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2
I waited for the price to drop on this one. Which I do for anything I don't have high hopes for. The Batman: Arkham games were the only ones that I had to have immediately these past few years. I waited on Grand Theft Auto V because I didn't care for GTA IV and wanted to get it after I got a PS4. Got distracted early with the online aspect, but was good until I picked up The Amazing Spider-Man 2...(READ MORE)

ROCKSTEADY, AND THE GODDAMN BATMAN
While Rocksteady continues to develop and release more and more DLC (downloadable content) for "Batman: Arkham Knight", it is hard not to wonder what will be the next game. Or more aptly, will the be another installment in the "Batman: Arkham" franchise. Warning for those who have yet to play "Batman: Arkham Knight" as there is some possible spoilers coming up...(READ MORE)

DC UNIVERSE ONLINE RIPPING OFF PS3 USERS
It wouldn't really be an issue for "free" players, it would be more of an annoyance. A great online game, with an occasional glitch. The current glitch is one that freezes the game, causing players to reset not only the game, but systems as well. It only seems to affect those still using a Playstation 3 for their gaming, with PS4 gamers going without a hitch (glitch). This all upgrades from an annoyance, to a...(READ MORE)

VIDEO GAME FAMILIES
Keeping with Canada's holiday today, Family Day, here is a short list of some of the families within video games through out time. From blood relation, to families based on nothing more than love and respect. Here they are...(READ MORE)

VIDEO GAME COUPLES
It's Valentine's Day, and of course, we here at Non-Geeky Nerd are joining in on the the second biggest commercialized day of the year.  It could even surpass Christmas, given that V-Day isn't really a holiday (no day off? Boo-urns). Anyway, here are a list of some of the couples from video games...(READ MORE)

WHAT IF...WE ALSO HAD MARVEL COMICS UNIVERSE ONLINE?
Immediately there will be those who disagree, and feel that the Big 2 comic companies stop imitating each other. Understandable. However, they are going to generally do it anyway, and let's face it, there are moments where imitation lead to something bigger, and better things. An example of this would be Deadpool. The Merc With A Mouth is a massive success, and although has become his own character, Wade Wilson is a rip-off of DC Comics Deathstroke aka Slade Wilson....(READ MORE)

THE ICEMAN COMETH
We got our first look at the upcoming story based DLC for the video game "Batman: Arkham Origins" today via DC All Access. And as everyone predicted, the story is focused on the frosty member of Batman's rogues gallery, Mr. Freeze.

You can check out the video below, which has the "trailer" as well as a brief discussion on what else we can expect to find in the "Cold, Cold Heart" story based DLC, which is luckily in game, and not just another challenge map like the initial DLC's were. We learn that there will be a new suit for Batman helping him to battle the cryogenic weapons of Freeze and his comrades. As well as some new gadgets.

I am sure there will be on this before it is ready for download on April 22nd, 2014, but until then or until more is revealed, here is the first glance at "Cold, Cold Heart" DLC content coming for "Batman: Arkham Origins"...((READ MORE AND SEE VIDEO)

WHERE'S MY GAME?
With the "Batman: Arkham" series being so successful, it is a wonder why there hasn't been more superhero games, especially DC Comics characters being given their own game. Of course, there is the argument of not wanting to milk off of Batman, but they do it all the time anyways, why not in this aspect also? Who knows, it could actually lead to a boost in popularity for some of them, or in some case expand off their current fame...(READ MORE)

WHAT WAS MISSING FROM BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS
Mind you everything that is listed may be reserved for the next edition of the Arkham video game series, or some of it may even play out some how in the upcoming Story DLC, even though all signs seem to point to when the Ice Man cometh. Still, incase they don't plan on  expanding off of the latest installment,Arkham Origins, taking things back before both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, then these are the things I felt was missing from this otherwise really good game, not Arkham City good, but held its own none the less....(READ MORE)

GAME ON!!! TOP 5 FAVORITE CHARACTERS
This list is solely based on the games I have played personally. Even though I have played Pac-Man before, I hadn't played it enough to put it on my Top Fav list, on a general opion list? Definitely, Pac-Man is as iconic as Mario. That list is for another time. Back to the topic at hand, the Non-Geeky Nerd's favorite video game characters...(READ MORE)
