At E3 2012 I ran into sport cars, booth babes, celebrities, cosplayers, and 2K’s blinding booth (red-lights galore), etc. It was like visual overload, my brain had a hard time processing everything. But one thing that really stood out to me was the giant Finn and Jake blow-up statue at D3 Publisher’s booth. It was tucked away in a corner, hidden from most of the show’s attendees. I’m a huge Adventure Time fan so a wide smile came across my face as soon as I stumbled across it. That blow-up statue was for Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?!!. Jeez, that has to be the longest name for a video game ever. Anyway, here’s my review.

"If you are anything like me, you have wanted to play a decent Adventure Time game for a very long time. Unfortunately for all of us, we have yet to experience a title that truly encapsulates the franchise. I feel that the time for change has come and that a worthy game should be made and I have just the recipe for it!
Keep in mind, this editorial dives deep into Adventure Time lore, if you are afraid of any spoilers, please click away!"
I havent dived into the show as much, but eventually I'll jump into it a bit more.
The Batman: Arkham series are fantastic licensed games. They just so happens to be joined by some other great ones.
The Hub World writes: Adventure Time: Hey Ice King? Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!! (man, that’s a mouthful) has a similar play style to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. As a matter of fact, it is almost identical. You walk around the hub world (which is the Land of Ooo) in order to enter various towns, forests and other locations, in which you are put into a 2D side scrolling setting where you must travel and defeat enemies. Occasionally, you will also bump into enemies in the hub, which will put you into a small battle against multiple enemies for a reward. Altogether, the gameplay is quite solid and fluid, but it can get quite tedious as the game progresses.
