Last Friday Mattel revealed the first batch of exclusives they have planned for this year’s San Diego Comic Con, and the showing definitely doesn’t seem to pack the same punch as years past. Check out Mattel’s SDCC 2012 offers, and what we think of them…
With The Avengers already in stores, Hasbro is gearing up to release their next Summer movie toy lines in just a few weeks. In preparation for the May 28th release dates, Pre-Order solicits for GI Joe Retaliation and The Amazing Spider-Man have gone live at e-tailers across the web. And much like The Avengers line, both new series are pretty broad in scope and (compared to the past) kind of light on action figures.

Developer Telltale Games is no stranger to building experiences around licensed material, but this time they’ve outdone themselves. The Walking Dead: A New Day has just been released for XBLA, PSN, & PC/Mac and I loved every minute of it. Based directly within the canon of Robert Kirkman’s comic series, Telltale’s take on the franchise is an unexpected dose of drama that succeeds in all the places that AMC’s television series fell flat. In less than three hours, this introductory episode (the first of five) has sold me on the new cast of characters while seamlessly working some familiar ones into a tightly-knit, intense narrative. The result is an outstanding piece of storytelling that every Walking Dead fan needs to experience.

Square Enix has just released a number of new screenshots for Kingdom Hearts 3D and some artwork that shows Spirit and Nightmare Dream Eaters, both of which play important roles in the upcoming game and look pretty interesting. Check out the just-released images after the break!

Every so often, a game comes around that’s so intriguing, so deeply immersive, that feels real. Only through the talent of the most masterful writers, voice actors, designers and developers can this feat be achieved. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is a shining example of the intense experience a video game can offer. Immediately upon witnessing the newly-crafted cutscene that opens the title I was hooked and now, dozens of hours into the game, that feeling hasn’t let up. It pulls no punches and won’t hold your hand – a hardcore gamer’s game through and through – delivering the greatest action/RPG experience I’ve had since the original Mass Effect.

The new season of Mad Men continues to charge forward, packing some dense and heavy character studies into what has been a flat-out brilliantly written and beautifully realized season. From a dabble into horror two weeks back to last week’s heartbreaking spotlight on Pete and Lane, I keep expecting the bottom to fall out on just how good this show is, but I’m starting to this that shoe is nowhere near falling– in fact this week’s “Far Away Places” may have been the most compelling and entertaining episode of the season.
