In previous years around the holiday season I’ve looked at comic book games with a Christmas twist such as Batman: Arkham Origins, the many games inspired by Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, and Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron. While growing up, video games were of my most coveted Christmas gifts as it was only really around that time of year when I…
Tomorrow three new fighters become available for download for Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite, and along with them are eighteen new premium costume skins. A pack of six can be purchased for $11.99 (check your territory for exact pricing) or a la carte for $3.99 (again, check your territory. The first pack, listed as Avenging Army, includes updates…
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. In his MCU debut, Spider-Man shared the screen with nearly every hero in Captain America: Civil War and now as part of his first ever…
To be clear and upfront, none of the ten tables that are included in the Marvel Pinball: Epic Collection Vol. 1 disc is bad, it’s just that there’s some that you’ll want to spend more time with than others. The following list is simply my opinion of what I feel are the best, and not so best…
For a generation of video game players who grew up when arcades were still a thriving business, they’ll probably remembering the alluring lights, eye-catching displays of franchises from everything from The Addams Family to Doctor Who, and of course the unforgettable sounds of pinball machines. Unless you live in certain cities around the world, it’s near impossible to…
In a post cancelled Disney Infinity world, YouTube channel Infiniteer Adventures has been speaking with those close to the now defunct game to shed light on what could have been. In the past they’ve shown both the Doctor Strange and Spider-Gwen figures that were in the works, and now they have the first look at the concept art for…
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.

When Activision started their Marvel action-RPG series with the original X-Men Legends, development responsibilities primarily fell on Raven Software with the occasional porting duties being outsourced to other studios. With development on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Singularity and a reboot of the Wolfenstein franchise all happening simultaneously, Raven had very little resources to commit to the second and final Marvel Ultimate Alliance game released in…
The dungeon-crawler action-RPG genre was a good fit for the PSP. The overhead perspective allowed developers to create a fun action game on the go without having to be strapped with the usual camera problems inherent with more traditional 3-D action/adventure games. Some of the games that found great success on the handheld were the…
When the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance came out in 2006, a DS SKU was noticeably absent. There was a PSP game that was more or less a direct conversion of the PS2/Wii game with the usual compromises, but if you wanted to play MUA on a Nintendo handheld, you had to stick with the watered down beat-em-up that was…
