The mid-to-late 2000’s were an interesting time for third-party games given how many different devices were on the market. In previous generations, there would be one version of a game across several platforms, each with own compromises, and perhaps a paired down version on the Game Boy, but in that time period, there were so…
If you’ve read my feature about the Nintendo 64’s library of comic books games, you’ll know that there wasn’t that many released from the time in launched in September of 1996 to the time its last game, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, arrived in 2002. Technically speaking, there were eleven video games with comic book properties released…
September 26th, 1996. In limited release, Nintendo launched their first ever three-dimensional console that defined how games would be played in this bold new perspective, thanks to games like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Rare’s Goldeneye 007, the latter of which showed developers how first-person shooters, a genre that exploded in the next console…
Today, franchises like Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed and Battlefield take a lot of heat for having annual releases that water down the brand they represent, but two console generations ago, the term “annual franchise” didn’t carry such a negative connotation. Insomniac’s Ratchet and Clank series released one year after the other and got better as they went along, which was the…
For those who visit this website and want to start building a collection of super hero and comic book games of their very own, Sony’s weekly sale on the PlayStation Store is not a bad way to start. Running up until next Tuesday at 8AM PST, a ton of great super hero themed games are…
Sometimes, especially during the excitement of E3, it’s easy to get caught up in how gorgeous trailers can look for video games and forget that those two-three minute videos may not be indicative of what a final product will look like. Let’s not forget that not too long ago commercials aired on TV showing all…
The only reason I’m awake right now is because of pure hype and excitement. Having worked very early yesterday morning, it was a struggle to stay up for the Sony press conference, and boy, am I glad that I did. I could talk in length about the new incredible looking God of War, the just announced, WITH…
It’s amazing for a game that’s so short and severely mechanically outdated that I can nearly almost find something to write about it. That speaks volumes about how good Neversoft’s Spider-Man, or Spider-Man (2000) as I often refer to it, truly is. In continuing my look at the best Marvel console game ever, I didn’t think I would have…
One character who was noticeably absent from the one hundred and fifty plus character roster of Lego Marvel’s The Avengers was any incarnation of Spider-Man. Sure, the game’s story takes place in the MCU of which Spider-Man only recently joined, but there’s plenty of characters in the open-worlds of the game like Ms. Marvel, Jane Foster Thor…
Two weeks ago a rumour, that is yet to be substantiated, surfaced that Sony could possibly be working on a Spider-Man project for the PS4.
