This game. I’ve been waiting a llllloooonnng time to get my hands on this game. I remember seeing ads with screenshots in them for this game in issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly around the time it was coming out. I desperately wanted to play it and checked my local video store and gas stations to…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/14/2013 Superman: The Man of Steel is bit of an oddity when it comes to comic book based games, as it was published by a company that had the rights to both the animated and comic book side of the character. Publisher Atari also put out the “Apokolips” games based…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/17/2013 If, like me, you wanted to like Constantine more than you wanted to that one time you watched it out of curiosity, you probably didn’t realize or simply forgot that there was a game released in tandem with the film. When looking at games to cover this Halloween season, I…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/04/2013 Arriving less than a year after the last outing in the series, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure infuses the franchise with over 2,000 characters and objects from the expansive DC Universe.

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 07/05/2013 After the Superman Sudoku puzzle game they put out on the Game Boy Advance, I didn’t know what to expect from EA’s Superman Returns game on the Nintendo DS.

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/23/2013 I can’t think of an odder choice of a developer for a Superman game then the one attached to Superman Returns. Published by EA, Returns was crafted by EA Tiburon who are most famous for making sports game, specifically the Madden NFL series. I guess Superman hits people hard,…

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/21/2013 I’ve said this in other reviews, heck I even did one for Superman 64, but Superman 64 is a bad game. It has terrible controls, bad character models and animation, you name it its got it. But the one thing that game let you do was play as Superman.…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/212/2013 You have to give Atari huge credit for publishing not one, but two Superman games inspired by the animated series. They followed in the wake of Titus Superman 64, and at a time when the series had been off the air for over two and a half years. Superman:…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/21/2013 I LIKE Superman 64. Bet you didn’t see that as an opening statement, huh? I’m not here to argue that Superman 64 is misunderstood, or good even, I know that it’s a bad game.
