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…
Not only did THQ give us the displeasure of one bad Swamp Thing game, they decided to vomit another game based on the character for the Game Boy, courtesy of the developer of The Flash for the handheld, Equilibrium. The best thing that can be said about Swamp Thing on the Game Boy is that…
When it comes to tracking down retro games, normally the ones with higher price tags are the rare and treasured gems that are simply so good that those who own them either don’t want to part with them, or will only do so if a healthy profit is involved. Sometimes however, an older game will…
I already reviewed The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct on the PS3 (you can read the full review HERE) and for a quick summary, I think it’s a great game that was unfortunately rushed to market under cooked to capitalize on the license instead of being properly developed. It’s most certainly very rough around the edges,…
In the world of comic book video games, 2006 will go down as they year of the super hero team up. In the Marvel camp, there was Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the third overhead action-RPG from developer Raven who cut their teeth previously on the excellent X-Men Legends games, and on the DC side there was…
Given that The Flash is the fastest man alive, he comes and goes in the blink of an eye before anyone knew he was even there. The same could be said about the first attempt at a Flash TV series in the early 90’s, which lasted only a season due it being shuffled around to…
The third and final play set that’s presently available to purchase for Disney Infinity 2.0, based on this summer’s extraordinary breakout success the Guardians of the Galaxy, is in many ways the best play set for your money, but in some respects it’s a tiny bit disappointing. The best thing that can be said about…
Whereas the first Disney Infinity game came with three different play sets in one package, this year model leaves it up to the player (or the parent of the player) to purchase the remaining two independently. One of the first out of the gate is the Spider-Man play set, inspired by the Disney animated series…
