TT Games had a very busy calendar year going on from late 2013. They put out the massive Lego Marvel Super Heroes, a game based on two-thirds of the Hobbit trilogy, this fall’s Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and amongst all of that, they managed to produce a game that launched next to February’s blockbuster hit,…
When it came to adapting Batman’s escapades from the big screen in video game format the first time around, Sunsoft more or less had the monopoly on the character, producing games on everything from the NES, Game Boy and Sega Genesis. For the sequel to Batman, aptly named Batman Returns, the video game licensing was shared…
Season passes have become quite an alarming trend in video games today with publishers requesting people pay money up front for things when they’re not even sure what they’ll get. Jumping on this trend for the first time is TT Games with Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham which allows you to purchase a Season Pass…
Everyone has their first Lego game, whether it was Star Wars, Indiana Jones or one of the countless others, but for me, it was 2008’s Lego Batman. Since that game I’ve seen the Lego franchise really develop into something special with its sequel Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, which introduced both voice to cut-scenes…
Lego series developer TT Games took on an interesting challenge with 2008’s Lego Batman: Telling an original story without the use of voice. Previously in both the Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones games the stories were told with pantomime and slap-stick gags that worked so incredibly well due to the fact that each of the…
After playing through the Batman efforts produced by Sunsoft not on the NES, I had extremely low expectations going into their first Batman game on the Game Boy, one of the earliest games on the system no less. Maybe it’s because I played Batman: Revenge of the Joker prior to playing this or perhaps it’s…
How do you make something awesome, move it to arguably superior hardware, and then somehow make it worse?!! This is the case with Batman: Revenge of the Joker, a carbon copy of the excellent Batman: Return of the Joker on the NES. Walking into this game I had two assumptions: The first that this was going…
I finally bit the bullet recently and bought a Wii U having heard a lot of good things from close friends about how much time they put into the machine that no one seemingly wants or particularly needs, that and Bayonetta 2 is out October. So, with Wii U in hand, what games does one…
The Sunsoft produced Batman NES games in my opinion were two of the best games on the system: They have great graphics, tight play control, a phenomenal soundtrack, and just the right amount of difficulty to get your pulse pounding, but not quite enough to make you throw your controller at the floor. Upon finishing…
Batman has been featured in an animated series, whether his own or part of an ensemble, since Batman: The Animated Series debuted in the early 90’s. Where there’s a cartoon, there’s inevitably a video game or two to capitalize on its popularity and Batman had them in spades, however the well had seemingly dried up…
