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…
That’s a wrap, folks. With the release of The Squad this week, all of the playable content for Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham has been released. During the launch of the game last fall three parts of the Season Pass were already available: Man of Steel, The Dark Knight and the Batman 75th Anniversary stage and even with just those three available, it…
The Suicide Squad have been getting quite the push from DC over the past couple of years: they were teased in 2013’s Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate; They shared the spotlight with Batman in the direct-to-DVD feature Batman: Assault on Arkham; A version of the team appeared on The CW’s Arrow TV-series and who could forget the theatrical…
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…
Nintendo took quite a hit in the mid-to-late 90’s due in no large part to the popularity of Sony’s PlayStation: games were cheaper to manufacture on disc and therefore cheaper to sell through to the consumer, a lot of Nintendo faithful third-parties from the 8-16 bit era abandoned ship to Sony’s platform and it had…
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.…
Of the three post launch expansions for Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Bizarro World was perhaps the one I was looking forward to the least. Not that I don’t like Bizarro or anything, in fact I think the character is a perfect fit for some of the silly humour found in the Lego games, I just was more…
We don’t really see much of Jim Carrey nowadays, but in the mid-90’s the actor was everywhere. His breakout year came in 1994 when he starred in three incredibly beloved comedies: Ace Venture: Pet Detective; Dumb and Dumber and The Mask, loosely based on the comic book series published by Dark Horse. Not one to miss out on making…
Not to take away from the quality of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, because as expressed in my review, I think it’s a pretty awesome game that doesn’t get enough credit. That being said, I firmly believe that a lot of its success came down to how excellently timed its release was: It came out when there…
