January 9, 2009 - Kicking off the new year with a bang, Cryptologic and subsidiary software developer, WagerLogic, have spawned a new batch of online casino games. And not that the other leading software companies aren't doing the same (just when you thought you were going to get rid of me and my stinky breath, there's more game reviews to come!), Cryptologic's new lineup especially caught my attention.

The reason being is that deep inside my Soul, there is an inner child crying out for unlimited bowls of mint chocolate chip ice cream, Nintendo 64 and an all-access pass to every Marvel comic book that has ever been published. Not going into detail about the Nintendo 64 and ice cream (I mean, c'mon - who doesn't like ice cream?), I would love to provide some more insight about Marvel comics.

If you haven't head already, Cryptologic - along with Australia based slot manufacturer, NextGen Gaming - has developed a line of online casino slots branded on the Marvel Superhero comics. Games like Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men and Captain America have stirred up a major following, not to mention some serious jackpot winnings on their exclusive progressive network. I don't know how to put it except that the graphics are amazing and the slot play is as good as it gets. And if you are Marvel junkie, you get the added bonus of reliving your glory days once again.

The reason I bring this up is because Cryptologic's latest game is a sequel to their most successful slots ever - the original Spider Man slot. Called Spider Man Revelations, the new release offers all the jackpots and features as the first, with an added feature allowing players to reject initial prizes for the chance of winning more. Coolest of all, if you ask me, is a bonus round that challenges bettors to save a passenger in a runaway train.

Also on Cryptologic's latest Casino Bonus Pack is a new 25-line video slot called Dragon Sword and an upgraded Atlantic City Blackjack game, now offering auto-strategy functions, improved graphics and an auto-betting option. Original rules are preserved, so that means you can still put your Basic Blackjack strategy to use for getting one of the lowest House Edges in the online casino.
