Comic book based TV shows have been around a long time – they paved the way for comic book movies. With the first episode of Walking Dead airing October 31, and getting a lot of people excited about a comic book TV series in a long time, it’s worth looking back in at a brief history of comic book television.

Case Zero is fantastic. It’s only 400 points, and while the town of Still Creek is fairly small (about as big as one of the sections of the mall from the first game), it is pretty much your own little playground.

Oh no, not another cheap, plastic peripheral is the thought to cross the minds of most gamers upon seeing NHL Slapshot for the first time. Every copy of the game will be packaged with a small hockey stick that houses the Wiimote near its base and the nunchuck up top.

Groggy, sleepy eyed gamers made what must have seemed like a long trek home this morning, having survived Project X’s second LANsomnia event.

Soon, we will see the release of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, which will bring together four different versions of our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

The way we’re going to do this is with some trivia. Since the featured tournaments are Starcraft II and CoD 4, the first five people to answer these five trivia questions about the games correctly will win a pass. More details about the event below the questions.

It makes you want to smash your controller.
You swear it’s unfair, the boss is cheap, almost impossible to win against. Onlookers and people unfamiliar with fighting games just claim you suck at the game, they wouldn’t make these things unbeatable. But you know better. You know it’s just another case of SNK Boss Syndrome.

The standout title of the Ultimate Universe is easily Ultimate Spider-Man. Back from hiatus after the Ultimatum event (the big crossover event of the Ultimate comic books), the series has constantly outsold the main comics and shows no signs of slowing down.
