The Steam Workshop for this game is incredible - I’m not usually a mod guy, but the community creations for Total War are incredible.

Every week I hate my brother a little bit more for buying an Xbox One after we had clearly agreed on Playstation 4's. He’s on the opposite side of the country, and playing games a few nights a week is how we stay close. I don’t really spend enough time gaming to justify another console, especially after upgrading my…

So I know trade waiting for comics means that things are going to get spoiled, but in the headline on the main page? Why even bother with the spoiler banner in the article?

Oh well, much like Civil War 2, at least it saves me from having to read a crappy comic once it gets collected - I already know all the key…

I really want to support Stoic just because I loved the Banner Saga games so much (#3 can’t get here soon enough), so I think I’ll buy this and hold off on playing it in hopes that it gets patched. I do wish they’d do something to update Banner Saga Factions - it was a fun multiplayer take on the game, but died…

Marvel didn’t do this book any favors, but the real problem is the direct market / Diamond distribution. It’s been a broken system for almost 25 years, and neither of the Big 2 have any interest in fixing it.

How does this compare to Rogue Legacy? I really liked that game, and this looks like a deeper version of that.

I’m really enjoying simpler games as of late - I’ve got all the new AAA releases, but find myself only playing shmups and Hyperlight Drifter.

“Inhumans show runner Scott Buck” - seriously? Marvel/Disney is giving another show to the guy behind Iron Fist? And also the later awful seasons of Dexter and Six Feet Under? I imagine Medusa’s hair is going to be just one of the many horrible decisions made on this show.

Anson Mount is a pretty great choice for…

Damn son, how you get so woke?

Ha ha ha ha, yeah, George RR Martin is a slow writer, isn’t he? ROFLOL!!!!!!!

I really want to play the raids - I think Destiny is an alright game, but I hear raiding is the best part of it. Unfortunately, the few times I’ve used the matchmaking sites to attempt a raid, the toxic behavior drove me out before I ever get close to finishing Vault of Glass or any of the others, even in groups that…

I’ve got a bad history of concussions and nerve damage, and can usually only play turn based games online with any degree of success - but the beta of For Honor was just slowed down and tactical enough that I was able to keep up in most fights and have a great time. As a former Quake and Mortal Kombat junkie, it was…

Hmmm, this is not an Elric book. Sad. #FakeNews

With no offense intended,these round-ups seem more and more like catalogue listings than genuine curated recommendations each month. I can go to Amazon and read synopsis in the new release section on my own. This feature used to be great for telling me WHY I should want to read something, not just what they are…

Sounds like the book I wanted Al Ewing’s Mighty Avengers to be.

No disrespect to the talented Cheryl Eddy, but I really miss the book round-ups from Charlie Jane Anders (I know she’s no longer at io9). Anders’ roundups were recommendations from a passionate fan of the genres who really wanted to share exciting new finds. Now the column reads like a publisher’s catalog. There…

I haven’t followed Marvel regularly for a long time... but didn’t they just have a Scarlet Spider series following the other clone, Kaine?

I don’t really understand it - it doesn’t feel like a great game, but I find myself really wanting to play it every night when I get home from work. It’s very... compelling, I guess is the word I’d use.

Wow.

Such as? Please share :) .

I always get great recommendations from these comment sections - what would your superior alternatives be?
