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.

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…
