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…
Spider-Man has a history on the Nintendo DS handheld going back as far to the systems launch in 2004 with Spider-Man 2. Since the inception of the machine, hardly a year has gone by where the web-slinging wonder hasn’t made an appearance and a lot of the titles featuring the character are great games, including…
If you’ll recall from my review of this game on the SNES, I’m probably one of the few people in the world who took it easy on this game, despite knowing full well its myriad problems. Finishing this game, a feat I once thought impossible, is something that I will always look back fondly upon…
Make a short list of every thing you love about the Lego game series: Solving puzzles by building Lego objects, having the ability to swap between characters, utilizing unique character abilities to navigate levels, replaying levels at your own leisure for bonus collectibles, not being penalized for losing health or dying. These are some of the…
Marvel Super Heroes in War of the Gems is one of those games that’s difficult to categorize. It shares the name of a popular arcade game, also by Capcom, that came out in 1995 though it’s a 2-D action plat-former and not a tournament fighter. It also can be considered a sequel of sorts to…
“Blair,” you say, “you’ve seen the video, right?” Of course I’ve seen the video, it’s one of my favorite ones. So why then did I subject myself to the maddeningly difficult Silver Surfer? Well the reason is two-fold. Firstly, I’ve gotten a lot of enjoyment challenging myself with the games I’ve been playing for this…
NOTE: PLAYED ON AN iPod TOUCH 5 Hi, my name is Blair, and for a price of a cup of coffee at Starbucks, you can own a really great Guardians of the Galaxy game. For every major Marvel film release, as I’ve stated on numerous occasions, you can expect to find a mobile game tie-in…
The Punisher: The Ultimate Payback! plays nearly identically to its counterpart on the NES, and in fact comes from the same developer, Beam Software. Unfortunately, it’s missing a lot of what made that game fun. The largest omission being the ability to move The Punisher across the screen to avoid bullets. It’s an understandable omission…
When I was a kid renting out NES games from our local gas stations, the place we rented most of our NES games in our hometown, the mere idea of a Punisher game was far too exciting. Without knowing anything about the game (couldn’t really run to the internet back in the early 1990’s) my…
