But the property looks like it’s found a different audience in the form of a board game. Tabletop game maker Academy Games launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for Agents of Mayhem: Pride of Babylon last week.

Agents of Mayhem: Pride of Babylon is expected to ship in September.

Rise and Fall tinkers with the fundamentalsRise and Fall rolls up its sleeves and takes its mission of improvement seriously. But in Rise and Fall, the emphasis is on nudging the player away from fighting, and towards more creative means to victory. Rise and Fall won’t penalize me for military expansion, assuming I can maintain the loyalty of my newly conquered subjects. I enjoy military campaigns in Civ games, but I’m convinced that developer Firaxis has made a good choice in Rise and Fall. 9 C

Just one year later, we have the Super NT, which promises to do everything — or, just about everything — better than the NT mini, but for a Super Nintendo this time. Because it’s not a software emulator — meaning, the hardware inside the Super NT isn’t running an operating system that is in turn running software to emulate the Super Nintendo — the Super NT has virtually no lag and has, at least in theory, perfect accuracy across all Super Nintendo and Super Famicom cartridges. If that’s disappoi

Disney is working on a live-action Kim Possible movie, more than 15 years after the original animated series debuted, the studio announced today.

And this month it was Batman and Wonder Woman teaming up to fulfill a long-held promise. Except the Gentle Man selfishly didn’t tell them one thing: Hours in our realm pass as decades in the hell dimension. And as Batman and Wonder Woman reached the ten year marker, it appeared as if their hope was beginning to flag. Batman and Wonder Woman talk about missing their loved ones and even pets (including, yes, Wonder Woman’s kangaroo, Jumpa). Catwoman talks to the Gentle Man about the nature of love

A new documentary sheds some light on what the game owes to its predecessors, cult classic RPGs Gothic and Gothic 2. Fans of either The Witcher or Gothic should definitely check it out. Incidentally, the same developers who created the Gothic series went on to make last year’s Elex, a complex open-world RPG that blended the science fiction, post-apocalyptic and medieval genres into a single, somewhat unwieldy experience. Elex was poorly received among both critics and fans of the open-world RPG

The Cloverfield Paradox isn’t a very good movie, but that fact doesn’t really matter to any of the companies involved in its production or distribution. The Hollywood Reporter is now saying that Netflix paid around $50 million for The Cloverfield Paradox, which means that the movie became instantly profitable for Paramount. That wasn’t a trailer for The Cloverfield Paradox, it was a commercial for Netflix that sold the idea that surprises could come at any moment. We don’t know how many people h
