While 2005 saw the GBA wells drying up, in 2006 they were nearly empty. It was in that year the handheld really hit its stride with the release of the DS Lite redesign and amazing titles like New Super Mario Bros. and Elite Beat Agents among many more. Following in the trend of Ultimate Spider-Man, Activision released two separate…
2006 was one of the strange years when Activision took a year off from making a Spider-Man console game, more than likely due to the fact that it had both Spider-Man 3, which debuted on over a half a dozen different platforms, and Spider-Man: Friend or Foe each set to be released in 2007. Just because a new Spider-Man…
It’s funny to think that once upon a time Nintendo committed to keeping both the Game Boy and DS brands going simultaneously, probably as a safety precaution should the DS brand had not been the incredible success it became. With the DS attachment rate still relatively low compared the then four-year old Game Boy Advance…
When it launched in the fall of 2004, no one really knew what to think of Ninendo’s latest handheld, dubbed the DS.

Despite having talent like Kevin Bacon, Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds, the film bombed spectacularly and went on to become one…
Developer Beenox’s fortunes turned around pretty quickly with their work on the Spider-Man video game franchise. After an excellent debut in 2010 in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, they lost a lot of good will they gathered with a rushed follow-up in 2011, Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Luckily for them, there was a Spider-Man movie coming out in 2012 and with…
When it was released back in 2001, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro was a respectable follow-up to 2000’s Spider-Man from Activision, but it didn’t do that much new than the game it built upon.
