Like Sunsoft before them, Konami produced both an 8 and 16-bit versions of a Batman game of the same name in Batman Returns. Unlike Sunsoft however, who somehow managed to make worse games despite having access to better hardware in both the cases of Batman on Sega Genesis and Batman: Revenge of the Joker, Returns…
TT Games had a very busy calendar year going on from late 2013. They put out the massive Lego Marvel Super Heroes, a game based on two-thirds of the Hobbit trilogy, this fall’s Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and amongst all of that, they managed to produce a game that launched next to February’s blockbuster hit,…
AUTHOR’S NOTE: I’ve known the author of this book for over a decade and was provided this book by Problematic Press for review. I’ve also known the founder of the publishing company for some time as well. The post-apocalyptic and dystopian earth have become quite the rage in fiction as of late, looking towards things…
When it came to adapting Batman’s escapades from the big screen in video game format the first time around, Sunsoft more or less had the monopoly on the character, producing games on everything from the NES, Game Boy and Sega Genesis.

Lego series developer TT Games took on an interesting challenge with 2008’s Lego Batman: Telling an original story without the use of voice. Previously in both the Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones games the stories were told with pantomime and slap-stick gags that worked so incredibly well due to the fact that each of the…
NOTE: THIS GAME DOESN’T ALLOW THE USE OF 3-D. Movie tie-in games that release on anything other than a mobile device are something of a rarity nowadays with consumers wising up to the obvious cash-grab games that publishers shoveled onto shelves, quality be damned, to piggyback off the success of a major motion picture. Which is…
Say what you will about publisher Activision, but under their watch they successfully reinvigorated the Spider-Man video game franchise with developers Neversoft and Treyarch at the turn of the millennium. After the release of 2005’s Ultimate Spider-Man however, things seemed to be taking a downward spiral in terms of quality for the once well-regarded franchise.…
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, a show near and dear to my, and I’m assuming a lot of people’s, heart. To mark that event, a lot of the talent from the show reunited over this past weekend to discuss the now classic animated series that ran on the FOX…
