Screenshots for Teen Titans videogame (Gameboy Advance) Posted by Butch on August 18, 2005 @ 4:11 am EST - Link
Awhile ago, it was announced that the Teen Titans would be getting the videogame treatment across several videogame consoles, including the Gameboy Advance handheld. Since then, demos for the games have popped up at events like the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and San Diego Comic-Con.
IGN has provided a bunch of shots for the GBA Teen Titans game, featuring the Titans unleashing their powers and weaponry against their foes (most of whom appear to be HIVE soldiers). Check out the screenshots here:
game description: "Based on the hit show and DC Comics series, Teen Titans gives gamers the chance to be any of the Teen Titans heroes as they switch in realtime between heroes Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven, so that they can capitalize on the Teen Titans’ unique moves and abilities. The notorious villains Slade, Overload, Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth will all be out, prowling this crime-ridden city and causing mayhem for the teen superheroes."
This game is expected to be released October 2005 for the U.S.
Doom Patrol & Brotherhood of Evil voice actors Posted by Butch on August 14, 2005 @ 3:44 am EST - Link
Comics Continuum has provided voice actor info for the Doom Patrol:
- Xander Berkeley voices Doom Patrol leader Mento - Judge Reinhold provides voice for Negative Man - Peter Onorati will voice for Robotman - and Tara Strong rounds out as voice for Elasti-Girl
As expected in Season Five, Greg Cipes will reprise his role as Beast Boy for the DP team, purple mask and all.
Now for the dark side.
TitansGo.net has been informed that Glenn Shadix will be providing the voice for both the Brotherhood of Evil's head leader The Brain, and righthand ape Monsieur Mallah.
Glenn's voice credits for the DCAU shows include Mandragora for Justice League Unlimited (episode "Double Date") as well as the Cluemaster for The Batman (episode "Q & A"). We can't wait to see his take on the Brotherhood's commanding officers, and neither should you.
Catch both the Doom Patrol and the Brotherhood in the upcoming Season Five, and stay tuned for Titans news as it comes.

For all of you who were wondering where all the staff was this past week or so, all of us were on simultaneous vacation. Ixnay and I were married on the 27th, and all the admins and most of the staff came to celebrate with us.
Also, we'd like to personally thank Pandora and Super Karoru for stepping up to help admin/moderate the forums in our absence. Thank you both so much for keeping things running perfectly.
To all our faithful users, please be patient with us as we all get back into our routines and try to catch up with TitansGo news and happenings.
