Make Your Own Damn Ben 10 Game

Worried about what D3 Publisher has in store for their upcoming Ben 10: Alien Force game, based off of the relaunch of the hit Cartoon Network series? Well then head over to the Ben 10: Alien Force game creator and make your own damn video game. Launched today at Cartoon Network's website, the flash game allows players to creator and share their own action adventure game creations with the community, where they will be weighed, measured, and assigned a rating based on how awesome they are or aren't. They've already got several entries ready for you to test out, or dig right in and create your own. It's a bit limited of course, but it is also completely free, so it balances out. Head over to CartoonNetwork.com to check it out! More »

D3 Does Ben 10 Again

The Ben 10 cartoon series recently relaunched as Ben 10: Alien Force, featuring a more mature Ben and Gwen teaming up with enemy Kevin Levin to form a super team of sorts, kicking all sorts of alien ass and garnering an absolutely huge ratings boost for Cartoon Network. D3 Publisher is ready to cash in on the hype with a follow-up to last year's Ben 10: Protector of Earth titled, aptly enough, Ben 10: Alien Force. Grandpa Max has gone missing, the world is in danger, and it's up to those three plus five of Ben's new forms to save the day. The game is being developed for the Nintendo Wii, DS, and PlayStation 2, with a release date sometime this fall. While I enjoy the hell out of the cartoon, the last game failed to please the fanboy within. Perhaps the second time around they'll get it right? More »

Eidos Composes Looney Tunes: Cartoon Concerto

If you still had doubts about the tremendous mainstream appeal of rhythm and music games, I give you Looney Tunes: Cartoon Concerto for the Nintendo DS, newly announced from Eidos and slated for a June release. The game puts you in control of an orchestra that performs the music to classic Looney Tunes shorts. Once you've completed a scene you unlock classic cartoon clips featuring those lovable animated psychopaths.

"This is a game for absolutely everybody who enjoys simple but addictive gameplay," said Richard Lassiter, Brand Manager for Eidos. "The DS is the perfect console for this type of pick-up-and-play game, and Looney Tunes: Cartoon Concerto is the best way to relive those classic Looney Tunes moments."

I might purchase the game when it comes out, but only because they include Elmer Fudd's magnum opus, "Kill Da Wabbit".

Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon

The Cartoon Network's Adult Swim is back with another irreverent flash game to help you while away a lazy Monday morning. This time around they're taking on the Trauma Center series with the game Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon. Join Alan, a pizza delivery guy whose truck's faithful meeting with a former doctor leads him to give up his day job in favor of performing unauthorized surgery in a dirty clinic. Open the patient with your pizza cutter, remove glass with salad tongs, close them up with your stapler and then cauterize the wound with your Zippo! Other available tools include a corkscrew, a car battery, and an Etch-A-Sketch? All the fun of surgery with none of those silly hygiene guidelines - plus his name is an anagram for Anal Probe! Top quality.

Lord Raptor's Most Embarrassing Moment

It seems that in the world of cartoons, our favorite video game characters sink to ungodly depths. Just ask Link, Sonic, Mario, Pac-Man or any other of the myriad other characters who have turned to TV to help extend their careers. Anyone who has ever played Darkstalkers will be familiar with Lord Raptor, the Australian rock star turned zombie fighter. Watch in horror as the cartoon universe turns him into a rapping, catch phrase spouting, olde tyme bathing suit wearing idiot. "Party hardy, dudes!" Yes, he actually says that. And aren't those bikinis a little racy for a kid's show?

The Cartoon Network decided to skip E3 2007, instead focusing on Comic Con to show off its massively multiplayer online game Fusion Fall. It brings the entirety of Cartoon Network intellectual property—from Ben 10, Power Puff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Megas XLR, et al—together in a fantasy world invaded by some green goo.

Cartoon Network Universe: Fusion Fall

Looks like there is potential, though I remain slightly crushed at the news that the Cartoon Network's MMO won't include any Adult Swim properties. I hope they're just saving that for an After Hours MMO.

Cartoon Network MMO Screens

Cartoon Network sends word that new details for their upcoming massively multiplayer online game, named Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall, will be hitting tomorrow morning.

I was able to eke a few things out of them early though. First is the name, FusionFall, but I also got these two screens from in-game and news that there will be a playable demo at Comic-Con later this week. Cartoon Network will also have the development team at the show doing a panel Thursday evening.

Expect more details as well as some game-play footage tomorrow. Two things: those screens look pretty cool, especially that top one, and please, please,please include Adult Swim in the game, then I'll be happy.

Ps. Bloo too!

Playlogic Captures Dragon Hunters

Dragon Hunters might be unfamiliar to the US audience, as outside of two short runs on Cartoon Network and a series of DVD's released by Anime distributor Geneon it really hasn't had much exposure on this side of the pond. Produced by French company Futurikon, the quirky, highly stylized series follows muscle-bound Lian-Chu and witty Gwizdo - dragon hunters in a futuristic medieval world. Now there's a major CGI motion picture due out in 2008, and publisher Playlogic Entertainment has just signed a 3-year agreement with Futurikon to exclusively produce games on the series across all platforms. The company currently plans to have a DS title ready for the film's release on early '08. More »

Gallery: Ben 10 On The PS2

Being somewhat of a fan of the series I cannot help but hem and haw over every little bit of information that surfaces about the Ben 10 videogame. I know I've been over it before, but this is exactly the type of cool-ass concept that is going to be mangled in game form. As a boy who can transform into a predetermined number of aliens with different powers with time limit constraints attached, designers either have to create levels with 10 different ways of traveling in mind, lock the player into one character per level or situation, or scrap an integral part of the whole concept in order to make things easier. Choice three is extremely popular in a licensed title. More »

Ben 10 Tapped For Video Game

Cartoon Network has awarded D3Publisher of America the video game rights to the popular cartoon Ben 10, which features a young boy named Ben who discovers an alien device that allows him to transform into different alien heroes, each with their own unique form and powers. It's kind of like the old DC Dial H for Hero comic. Speaking of which, someone needs to secure those rights. Dial H would make an awesome game...just think of the downloadable community created content possibilities alone. Boggles the mind it does. More »

Cartoon Classics Seeking Games

Classic Media announced today that their cadre of classic cartoon characters are being ushered into the digital age via an agreement with Flashman studios. Together the two companies plan to actively seek out gaming publishers to gamify (my word) icons such as Rocky and Bullwinkle, Dick Tracy, George of the Jungle, and Underdog!

When criminals in this world appear
And break the laws that they should fear
And frighten all who see or hear
The cry goes up both far and near
For Underdog!

Other prospective game pitches include Hot Stuff, Peter Cottontail, Sherman and Peabody, Dudley Do-Right, Fractured FairyTales, Gerald McBoing Boing, VeggieTales, Roger Ramjet and various others, none of which matter. There is only Underdog, the soon to be star of a live-action/CG travesty. More »

Viva Pinata Gets all Special Editiony

It looks like Special Edition fever has struck the Xbox 360's Poke... um Pinata-festooned game Viva Pinata. When the game hits in November it will come in two fancy flavors. One will include just the game, while the two-disc Special Edition version will come sealed into a colorful Pinata in the shape of a PS3. To get the game out you'll have to smash the paper mache creation with a Wii-mote shaped bat. Once you crack the thing, the game will spill out along with a collection of chocolate offal and Gummy intestines. More »
