The Horrors of Western Box Art… Halo Style

Some could argue that Mega Man's North American box was the absolute worst Western box art to grace a Japanese game's overseas version.  In that vein, Bungie sought to recreate the same horrors with their own top series.  GameSpy now has the final product for all to...

Mega Man: A Real American Hero

I've never made any secret of the fact that I'm a big fan of TransFormers, but the thought of crossing Mega Man with them has never really crossed my mind (even with Keiji Inafune and the TransFormers essentially sharing the same birthday. However, one fan has...

“What? Mega Man’s Taken Over the Bomb?!”

Ah, now here's yet another blast from the past, one which I bet fewer Mega Man fans are familiar with. Many of us remember the Ruby-Spears Mega Man animated series which ran in syndication, went to Fox Family, then was released on DVD and then re-released on DVD again...

Mega Marathon Man 2 gearing up

Watching people play Mega Man games may not be quite as fun as playing them yourself, but it can be just as rewarding when it's for a good cause. After the success of last year's Mega Marathon Man, a non-stop Mega Man gaming session where viewers could watch and...
