Aesthetically speaking, it looks spot on but in motion, it feels like they are missing half of the animation frames.

Prepare to clash against your favorite TMNT villains! Here are a few you'll come across in #MTGxTMNT.

This image depicts the card "Super Shredder". One Mana, one black. Legendary Creature - Mutant Ninja Human. Mythic rarity.

Card Art: This is an illustration of the gigantic monterous mutated form of a man, his once well fitted armor cutting into his body like sharp metallic spines. The mutant reaches towards the viewer with a claw as it rushes through any obsticle in his way.

Rules text: Menace.
Whenever another permanent leaves the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on Super Shreder.

Flavor text: "I have molded myself into perfection, Hamato. Look upon me, and know fear."

This image depicts the card "Krang, Master Mind". Six mana, two blue. Legendary Artifact Creature - Utrom Warrior. Rare Rarity.

Card art:
This illustration shows a squid like being wearing a bipedal mechanical suit. It's head is covered by a orb helmet while its tentacles pop out of 'arm' holes to hold up two large drills. The creature laughs maniacally.

Rules text: Affinity for Artifacts. (This spell costs One Mana less to cast for each artifact you control.)
When Krang enters, if you have fewer than four cards in hand, draw cards equal to the difference.
Krang gets +1/+0 for each other artifact you control. Power one/toughness four.

This image depicts the card "Bebop & Rocksteady". One mana, two black or green. Legendary Creature - Boar Rhio Mutant. Rare rarity.

Card art: This illustration depicts two mutants: A humanoid boar and a humanoid rhino. The pair stand gloriously upon the wreckage of cars as colorful sprays of energy explode behind them. The Rhino holds a large tire above his head.

Rules text: Whenever Bebop & Rocksteady attack or block, sacrifice a permanent unless you discard a card.

Flavor text: "They'll beat you with firsts, with a bat, with a knife. / So don't try to steop them, just run for your life! / Get set and get ready, / For Bebop & Rocksteady!"

I would love MORE Esquie and a plushy, but definitely dont need an Esquie-exclusive story or game

Battlefield 6's multi-player reminds me of the old days of squading up with my friends to play into wee-hours of the morning in the best ways, but an incredibly underwhelming and generic campaign leaves a blemish on the overall package.

Off to New York for the day to do one of the coolest gaming-related things I've ever done. I cant wait for folks to check it out. Moments like these make the 10 years of grinding worth it.

I love Tekken. I love board games. Here is my preview of the Tekken board game from Go On Board for @ign.com , now in late pledge over on Gamefound! It does a great job capturing the feeling of trying to read your opponent and has some awesome-looking minis! www.ign.com/articles/tek...

I think it's hilarious that "Atheist" is a status effect in Final Fantasy Tactics now

The Spider-Man MTG set has some neat cards but also some strange omissions. Check out my latest piece for GamesRadar that looks into that: www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gam...

The super-heroics are spectacular in MTG Spider-Man, but I think it's missing a special something

www.rpgsite.net/news/17780-y... I just liked the homage to the classic line which is why I used that image lol, but here is a full article we have on the script stuff! I believe the updates were more to make it flow better for spoken lines, but not a drastic departure. Hope this helps.
