Battle Galactus in Marvel Puzzle Quests' 2-Year Anniversary

Marvel Puzzle Quest, a free-to-play casual match-three game, is celebrating its second birthday this weekend! How would you celebrate this awesome day? Well, by battling one of the strongest villains in Marvel's history, Galactus!

Beginning this Thursday, Oct. 8, Marvel Puzzle Quest players will be able to take part in a boss battle event against Galactus. Just like with the Ultron boss fight event from this summer, players will need to work together to chip away at Galactus' health and eventually take him down.

The game will also feature two new multiplayer tournaments during the birthday celebrations: one focused on Devil Dinosaur and one focused on "the class of 2015" — all the playable heroes and villains introduced to the game throughout the last year. Red Hulk and a new classic version of Cyclops will join the game during the festivities.

Even if you're not planning to jump into the new events, D3 will also be giving away some nice gifts to players. Anyone logging in during the event will receive a special recruit token for free, and anniversary character packs will be available to purchase at a special reduced price. Players will also receive double ISO rewards for taking part in versus and story events during the birthday.

Sonic the Hedgehog Coming to your Mobile Device

Can't you hear the tune?

I can hear it clear as day. That wonderfully created tune as you turn on that black Sega Genesis. The blue blur runs across the screen and the track really picks up. Dun-Dun, DUN DUN DUN, da da da da da da! Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. That old Sonic the Hedgehog theme.

The fast little hedgehog is ready to jump from your TV onto your mobile device. He wants to be free! BE FREE, FREE WILLY!

As stated on our twitter page last week, Sega is really trying to be more relevant in the mobile market, and this is one of the company's first steps in that direction. This latest Sonic game is dubbed Sonic Runners and it is going to be free to download (with the option of in-game purchases).

The concept sounds a bit nifty, instead of moving Sonic around on the screen, the blue blast will be moving forward automatically through a 2-D world, and you will need to tap the screen to make him jump around. So, essentially, you can play the game with one hand.

If you guys downloaded one of 2014's most frustrating; but popular mobile apps, Flappy Bird, I feel like it will have a very similar feel to this.

Like other Sonic games, he won't be alone in this journey, Tails and Knuckles will be included in the game as unlockable characters. I always liked Knuckles better...I seem to fall for the "gray" characters in entertainment. :)

Look for Sonic Runners in the Spring!

Sonic the Hedgehog has already made a number of appearances on mobile platforms already, including Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Sonic Dash, Sonic Jump Fever, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and re-releases of 16-bit Sega Genesis era games. However, this is the first entry in this market after announcing that they will be focusing more on mobile gaming. I feel like the quality of this may be a bit better than the games listed in this paragraph.

Look for Sonic Runners to hit the  Android and iOS app stores this spring.
