When it was initially announced, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions from series first developer Beenox seemed like a game hinged on a flimsy gimmick for the purpose of injecting life into Activision’s fledgling but once renowned series of Spider-Man games. Upon its release, Shattered Dimensions turned out to be a really great game, presented as a love…
Man, that cover, just…wow. The Punisher looks like he’s going to jump off the box and swallow you whole. Before I get into talking about this game, I’m going to lay out some things. This game is a conversion of an arcade game, however growing up, I didn’t have a local arcade, the closest was…
Griptonite Games pulled double duty in the summer of 2011 on comic book movie games: They were responsible for three out of the four versions of Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters as well as the handheld version of Captain America: Super Soldier. The studio has had varying degree of quality in their comic book…
When it came to bringing Captain America: Super Soldier to the Wii, and eventually the 3DS, Sega looked to High Voltage Software, who also brought Iron Man 2 to the Wii and PSP handheld. The results are something far better than those mediocre games even managing to have some better qualities to the superior game…
When it came to bringing arcade games to the under-powered NES, developers normally chose to go one of two routes: Craft a graphically inferior or somewhat downgraded port of the coin-op experience (i.e Capcom’s Ghosts N’ Goblins, Konami’s TMNT II: The Arcade game,) or just take the name of the game and make something completely…
Prior to the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the Nintendo DS, development duties for Spider-Man games on the DS had fallen on Griptonite Games who created some pretty great “metroidvania” style games featuring the web-slinger with Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions. That particular studio was purchased by Glu Mobile in 2011 to work…
Who would’ve thought that in order to create the single best Captain America video game experience to date, you’d have to turn to the Great White North. Such is the case with Captain America: Super Soldier for the PS3/Xbox360 from publisher Sega and Vancouver based developer Next Level Games. Captain America: Super Soldier can be…
In the 90’s, comic book games and the beat-em-up genre went together like peanut butter and jelly: X-Men, Spider-Man, The Punisher, Superman, and Batman all got their turn and of course there’s Data East’s Captain America and the Avengers. Though originally a coin-op game, it would make its way to the SNES and Sega Genesis…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/16/2013 You can look at the Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction a number of ways: As a follow up to the excellent 1990’s animated show as Neal McDouough returns from that series to voice Dr. Bruce Banner, a follow up to 2003’s “Hulk”, or simply the single best Hulk video game…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/15/2013 Leading up to the October 25th release of Batman: Arkham Origins, as opposed to reviewing or featuring Asylum and City, I thought it would be more original to look at the previous comic book themed games created by WB Games Creative Director, Eric Holmes and another thematic origin game.…
