I've played a few games already and I absolutely love it, as does most of my local store. The game plays far easier and faster than it used to, and those four pages of rules have a lot more strategy than you might think once you get it on the table. As far as balancing forces, take a couple...

Devil's advocate here: I've played the game, and (shock!) it's actually very fun. The streamlined rules play very quick and easy, but the individual units have enough variety in them that there's still room for strategy (for those saying otherwise, the game is still very new and very different...

You're right, Scion doesn't need more rules, it needs balancing. Epic dexterity is one of the most broken abilities I've ever seen. OT: I'm a longtime old WoD fan, and have never tried any new WoD outside of Changling, but this game's focus on the hunt sounds pretty awesome.

The whole "each attribute, skill, etc. being a specific dice rather than a hard number" sounds good in theory, but if this game is anything like Serenity (where bonuses and penalties change the dice you roll), it will involve a constant repeating of the phrase "Wait, what do I roll now?" That...

Greg Weisman is busy with Star Wars Rebels now, so that's doubtful. Still, one can dream.

Those models are things of pure beauty, but I'm just getting back into X-Wing and can't justify keeping up with both games. Also, another review I've read mentioned that Armada is twice as long and twice as complicated as X-Wing, whose simplicity is one of my favorite things about it. I'm...

And Spectacular Spider-Man. The man keeps making phenomenal series that are popular with older fans, but not popular enough with kids to stay on the air.

I picked up quite a lot from this while it was on Kickstarter and I'm sad to say I haven't actually played a game. I got all the models put together and then a GW store opened up right near me and I fell back into Warhammer hard. One of these days... I will add one thing here: the models are...

Given that Wilson - who's been putting out one of the best books on the stands with Ms. Marvel - is attached to co-write this, I'm going to remain optimistic for it being "well written" over being a "marketing ploy." And honestly, Marvel has been doing outright fantastic work with its female...

Haven't seen the movie yet, but Mera being violent seems in line with her comic book persona. This is a woman who once wielded the Red Lantern ring of rage, after all.

What about George? He's a minor character in 2, but plays a huge role in 5 (fun fact: one of his investigation info blurbs from 2 hints at what he does 3 games later). There's a couple other characters, too, including the ever present Jeane and Viki. I actually liked how 3 took place like 14...

Huh. You're the first person I've ever seen that prefers the first game. I just finished up another play through of it a week ago (and am currently going through 2 again), and while I still enjoy it, I just don't see it better than 2 in any way. For one, the story is a mess. There's some good...

Flaws and all, I've always had a soft spot for this series. I didn't even hate the second half of the first season, even though I was supposed to. And yeah, the rape scene this season was awful, but the worst episode of anime? It wasn't even the worst anime rape scene this year . That honor...

I'm not crazy about Arrow's take on her. The woman looks like she's in her late-20s and 90 pounds soaking wet (this is CW we're talking about). I'm not saying she should be a perfect replica of the comic book character, but she doesn't give me that intimidating, cold-hearted agent vibe Waller...

I disagree. Trash talk is not ok, at least not in this environment. If you want to trash talk friends, that's one thing, but this is not a casual situation. Professionalism and sportsmanship should mean something to a professional sport, and this kind of behavior demeans the players and the...
