ICv2 has learned that WizKids is preparing to launch a HeroClix Online game that will debut in the late spring or early summer. The PC-based game was created by the North Carolina-based Icarus Studios LLC, developers of the Fallen Earth MMO.
WizKids’ Lax Chandra explained that Magic Online was the model for what WizKids is trying to do with HeroClix Online: “We definitely don’t want to cannibalize sales with the online game. This is meant to be completely non-cannibalistic, as much as we can. Our goal is to bring back players. We want to recapture players who got married or whatever, stopped going to the stores, and stopped playing the game. We want to give them a way to play at home, play against someone online. We’re going to have rewards (in the online game) that drive players into the stores.”
The HeroClix Online Game will present a computerized version of the HeroClix tabletop game with screens and gameplay that duplicate as closely as possible what occurs in an actual HeroClix game.
Here’s a first look at one of the Chevrolet/Camaro and the Transformers movie "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon" ads that will debut during the Superbowl this Sunday.
WizKids will release Star Trek Expeditions, a new Co-Operative HeroClix game designed by Reiner Knizia, on June 15th. The game, based on the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie released in 2009, is for one to four players and takes roughly 60 minutes to play.
Star Trek Expeditions will include six HeroClix minis (Kirk, Spock, Uhuru, Dr. McCoy, the Enterprise, and a Klingon Battle Cruiser), a game board, cards, tokens, and dice.
In the game’s new storyline, players must lead an away team to the surface of the planet Nibia. It includes random side missions, a unique branching mission tree, and three difficulty levels, which provides a high replayability factor.
Retailers that pre-order five copies will receive a free demo copy for in-store demos (one per store).
WizKids’ Star Trek license includes all the TV shows and feature films (see “WizKids Gets Star Trek”).
I had Halo 2 for X-box lingering around the house so I decided to get rid of it. My first instinct to get rid of used games have always been my local Gamestop but to my surprise I was met with a stern "we don't take those here" from the clerk, asking why would not appease my curiosity because I only got a "we just don't" so what was I to do with a game I haven't played in over a year for a system I no longer own. The answer came from my wife as she asked me "doesn't Toys R Us take trade ins now?" so that as our next destination. Once arriving it was just as the reports said
Games will then be scanned and prices will be offered for individual titles.
Gamers confirm that they want to accept the offer to exchange any, or all, of the games they brought to the store.
Once the transaction is complete, customers receive an activated gift card equal to the total worth of all games traded.
Immediately upon receiving the gift card, customers can purchase any product from iPods and toys to candy and diapers at any Toys"R"Us or Babies"R"Us location or online at Toysrus.com.
Once that was done I was free to spend my $3.00 on anything in the store. yeap three bucks. So I give TRU a two big thumbs up for their video game trade in program and I going to dig out my dreamcast.
