Yesterday during D23’s video game showcase, the Oculus exclusive and premiere Marvel virtual reality title, Marvel Powers United VR was unveiled to the world. Afterwards an interview was published on Marvel’s website with the head of Oculus Studios, Steve Arnold, about the title wherein further information was provided about the project. The title is a joint venture…
Today as part of the D23 event, Disney spent an hour showing off their upcoming games in the Marvel, Disney, and Star Wars camps, revealing new footage for Star Wars: Battlefront II, a (possible) release window and new world for Kingdom Hearts III and several Marvel related games, including an announcement of a new game. While now new gameplay…
Spider-Man: Homecoming’s success has caused a lot of people, including yours truly, to look back on one of the most beloved video games starring the web-slinger, Spider-Man 2. One such group to wax nostalgic about the game is Smosh Games, who in their recent entry in the Honest Game Trailers series, tackles the fan-favorite 2004 urban Tarzan simulator. One correction…
The Vulture is one of Spider-Man’s oldest foes, and that’s not because traditionally the character is portrayed as an elderly man, having made his high-flying debut in 1963’s The Amazing Spider-Man #2. There has been a steady release of Spider-Man films since 2002, yet this weekend’s Spider-Man: Homecoming will mark the first time the character…
I’ve reviewed a few Spider-Man movie tie-in video games for this site over the years, some even like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on both the PS4 and 3DS when they were just released in 2014, and over the past two weeks I’ve been posting reviews for the ones that I had yet to cover in any capacity.…
Before Spider-Man joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the only super powered team-up in a Spider-Man film was Peter and Harry teaming up to defeat Sandman and Venom in the conclusion of Spider-Man 3.

Superman may hold the Guinness Book of World Records for longest running video game protagonist, but I would wager that Spider-Man could hold a record for protagonist that has starred in a video game across the most platforms. From the Atari 2600 to Sega’s 32X, the NES to the a Japan only Super Famicom title,…
In 2011, Beenox delivered the first ever Spider-Man game to the 3DS with the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Edge of Time was a respectable port to Nintendo’s underpowered handheld (in comparison to the main SKU of the game on PS3 and Xbox 360) that suffered from what a lot of 3-D games did on the PSP. The…
Marvel, and their parent company, Disney, are a tough bunch to read when it comes to certain properties. Many have speculated over the years that Marvel, Disney, or even both have black listed characters from the X-Men and Fantastic Four series because they do not retain the movie rights to those characters, and thus they…
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and 2011’s Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the Nintendo DS, despite being unique experiences from their console counterparts, have a lot in common. Both failed to live up to the quality of their previous outings, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, though in the case of the DS game the development from Dimensions to Edge of Time had a developer change with Newfoundland based Other…
