Not so Retro Review: The Amazing Spider-Man

the amazing spider man,box art,review,nerd farm blog

Probably the best way to describe this newest The Amazing Spider-Man game, would be to draw comparisons to Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham X series.  Seeing as how this is basically Spider-Man’s version of the “new” super hero game, I think it’s fairly accurate. This “new” Spider-Man is pulled directly from the movie of the same name, [...]

  Netflix is good for a lot of things–catching up on old TV shows, watching that movie you just couldn’t justify spending money on renting, and watching the awesome 80′s cartoons of our childhood that are…let’s face it…MUCH better than the stuff on TV nowadays.  But Netflix also brings forth those little gems we probably would [...]


Becoming a Planeswalker

Magic, the gathering, planeswalkers, 2013

I’ve made a great many mistakes in my life, regardless of how much I enjoyed making those mistakes. One of them was meddling in drugs, one of which was Pokemon Trading Card Game.  It started all innocently enough, but now I have graduated to the harder stuff: Magic, The Gathering. But this is good news [...]

  Recent, some if not most of, you found out that I (a grown ass man of 30 years) started playing Pokemon TCG. While this might come as a surprise to the 5 people who listen to our podcasts (and we love you for it) after my rants about how nerdy it and Magic: The [...]

So it’s been out for almost a week, and I have to say: I am LOVING Skylanders Giants! Now before I get started, this is going to be a bit of a weird review. Giants, as you know is the sequel to Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure, and not much as changed in sense of gameplay. Put [...]

Just this week the good folks over at DeNA released Blood Brothers, an idealistic fantasy RPG of sorts for iOS and Android powered devices and I took a peek to see what all the hubbub was about!

Become A Transformers Legend

Recently (at PAX), I was informed that there would be a digital free-to-play Transformers Card game. Well I realize I have sat on my duff this whole time and not let you guys in on the whole shabangabang, but trust me, I was gathering intel for you! And guess what?! The nice people over at [...]

Because I’m really stuck on Fall of Cybertron at the moment, I’ve been using my Google powers for good and discovered that the European game manuals for FoC have a list of 3 DLCs, one of which we have already received, and two more which have me really excited. Dinobot Destructor Pack 11.09.2012: Grimlock Slug [...]
