Today, franchises like Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed and Battlefield take a lot of heat for having annual releases that water down the brand they represent, but two console generations ago, the term “annual franchise” didn’t carry such a negative connotation. Insomniac’s Ratchet and Clank series released one year after the other and got better as they went along, which was the…
When you look at a character like the Hulk, you can see both a character that is pretty easy to adapt into a fun video game, yet at the same time extremely difficult. In some form or another, people have been making Hulk-esque experiences since the days of early arcade titles like Midway’s Rampage: Game’s granting players…
I’ve gone on record several times that sometimes all it takes to make a great comic book game is to shamelessly borrow from the best of the business. A review that includes the sentence “it’s like (X) game, just featuring (Y) skin” shouldn’t be taken as a mark against any licensed game, but rather a…
If you were intimidated by the competition at your local arcade, or just simply didn’t have a local arcade to go to in my case, home console conversions were normally how you played fighting games, and unfortunately those normally came with sacrifices that had to be made due to hardware limitations. As many hours as…
Next week for gamers is the calm before the storm, the storm being E3 2016 when all the major players in the game industry come out with their big guns to show up what games, hardware and potential console upgrades we’ll be getting in our hands in both the near and distant future. Given that…
NOTE: The star in the title is because my collection is complete in my terms. As much as I would love to get a copy of Tournament Fighters on the NES, I don’t have the money to spend on a NES cart that’s almost how much I pay for rent. All the games that I’ve reviewed on this…
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have have one of the largest catalog of games of any licensed property, yet despite the fact they have as of this Friday six theatrical features to their name, there’s barely a handful of titles that were based on the brother’s theatrical exploits. Which of those are worth playing and…
It’s amazing for a game that’s so short and severely mechanically outdated that I can nearly almost find something to write about it. That speaks volumes about how good Neversoft’s Spider-Man, or Spider-Man (2000) as I often refer to it, truly is. In continuing my look at the best Marvel console game ever, I didn’t think I would have…
Two weeks ago a rumour, that is yet to be substantiated, surfaced that Sony could possibly be working on a Spider-Man project for the PS4. Now, as Spider-Man is my favourite super hero of all time, this news got me very excited, but even before this was even hinted at, it’s something that I postulated…
Over this past month I’ve now looked at three versions of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 that have all addressed the Civil War conflict. Prior to the release of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, and even the story in the comics from Mark Millar, Captain America and Iron Man have been battling in video games and continue to do so even today.
