Paladin here; at Wizard World Philly I was given the opportunity to interview Australian actor Vernon Wells live and in person!

Upon approaching his booth I felt the excitement of seeing my idol villain whom I’ve waited 25 years to meet.

This interview was supposed to be setup in advance, however to prove that Vernon Wells is not like the baddies in which he plays on film, he offered to do the interview on the spot.

Nerdsociety/Paladin (NS): Hi, it’s a pleasure to meet you, I’ve waited 25 years, I’m a huge fan! (Yeah, that’s what I said–I must be …

Wii-exclusive title, Epic Mickey was shown late last year, and to be honest, graphically it didn’t impress me at all.  However, the game has had some time to improve, and as you’ll see in the videos, it looks great now.  The game captures the feel of the Disney cartoons very well, with both the physical worlds, and the animations of the caracters.

The basic gameplay is that of a platformer, with double jumping, and a spin attack.  How Epic Mickey becomes more interesting is that he uses paint thinner to erase parts of levels to open new areas, or to attack …

So, now that I have your attention, the name of this game is Vanquish, and it will be available for PS3 and 360, possibly this fall.  The man behind the game is Shinji Mikami.

The game is essentially Gears of War, but with a faster pace, from what I’ve seen so far.  However, that’s not to say that it should be skipped over as a wannabe Gears, but instead should be considered a great alternative to Gears.

The controls are what you would typically expect from a third-person shooter, with grenades on the triangle button, L1 as aim, and R1 for …

I’ve seen previews in magazines, and screenshots, and I’ve only thought of Rage as a Fallout 3 clone.  Well, thankfully my preconceptions have been proved wrong, as I was lucky enough to enter Bethesda’s appointment-only booth.

From what I’ve seen, there are similarities between Rage and Fallout 3, as they both have an expansive desert over-world.  In Rage, you will enter towns that are full of NPCs with which to interact, and sometimes play mini-games.  We were told that towns may even change the NPCs, quests, and mini-games that are available, as opposed to Fallout 3’s town areas which mostly stayed …

Paladin here, I got to make many rounds throughout the convention room in an attempt to get either pictures, find the best price on a toy or find something, anything that may be of interest.

The stars I remember best from a distance were Lisa Marie Varon who played Victoria the wrestler in WWE. She was smiling and it wasn’t some made up grin it was genuine and that is memorable.
Virgina Hey was right next to Vernon Wells and she looked to be pretty cool.
I don’t have to mention Vernon Wells again, but I will–the coolest!

I had passed …
