Leading up to 2007, Activision could really do no wrong when it came to the Spider-Man license. After a strong start in 2000’s Spider-Man, they built upon that game’s foundation in a PSOne sequel Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro and the first Spider-Man movie game on the sixth generation of consoles before once again revolutionizing how we all played Spider-Man games with Spider-Man…
Spider-Mania was developing early in the new millenium as the release date inched ever so closer to Sony’s first Spider-Man film and 2001 saw two different sequels starring the character released to capitalize on that: Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro from Vicarious Visions for the PSOne and Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six on Game Boy Color from Torus…
When it launched in the fall of 2000, Activision’s Spider-Man would eventually be playable on every platform on the market: PSOne, PS2 (via backwards compatability), N64, PC, DC and even the Game Boy Color. As the game goes, one of those games are not like the other, I’m of course referring to the Game Boy Color port…
Following the success of 2000’s Spider-Man from developer Neversoft, Activision released not one, not two, but three different Spider-Man games in 2001: Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six on the aging Game Boy Color, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro on the similarly aging PSOne, and Spider-Man: Mysterio’s Menace on the freshly released Game Boy Advance that served as the wall-crawler’s debut on the handheld.…
NOTE: THIS GAME DOESN’T ALLOW THE USE OF 3-D. Movie tie-in games that release on anything other than a mobile device are something of a rarity nowadays with consumers wising up to the obvious cash-grab games that publishers shoveled onto shelves, quality be damned, to piggyback off the success of a major motion picture. Which is…
Say what you will about publisher Activision, but under their watch they successfully reinvigorated the Spider-Man video game franchise with developers Neversoft and Treyarch at the turn of the millennium. After the release of 2005’s Ultimate Spider-Man however, things seemed to be taking a downward spiral in terms of quality for the once well-regarded franchise.…
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, a show near and dear to my, and I’m assuming a lot of people’s, heart. To mark that event, a lot of the talent from the show reunited over this past weekend to discuss the now classic animated series that ran on the FOX…
The third and final play set that’s presently available to purchase for Disney Infinity 2.0, based on this summer’s extraordinary breakout success the Guardians of the Galaxy, is in many ways the best play set for your money, but in some respects it’s a tiny bit disappointing. The best thing that can be said about…
Whereas the first Disney Infinity game came with three different play sets in one package, this year model leaves it up to the player (or the parent of the player) to purchase the remaining two independently. One of the first out of the gate is the Spider-Man play set, inspired by the Disney animated series…
Ever since the “Toys-to-life” genre was kickstarted with the original Skylanders back in 2011, I’ve been dreading the day when anyone would apply that model to a property I care about, as if there’s two things I love to collect, it’s video games and action figures. Last year Disney jumped into the game with the first…
