REVIEW: TODD MCFARLANE’S SPAWN (SNES)

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/18/2013 The year is 1995, and if you were anything like me, you loved nothing more than getting your hands on that newest SNES game, especially in the fall of the year when all of the big games dropped that were competing for that coveted place on your Christmas list.…

REVIEW: CONSTANTINE (PS2)

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/17/2013 If, like me, you wanted to like Constantine more than you wanted to that one time you watched it out of curiosity, you probably didn’t realize or simply forgot that there was a game released in tandem with the film. When looking at games to cover this Halloween season, I…

REVIEW: HELLBOY: ASYLUM SEEKER (PSOne)

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/13/2013 The history behind Hellboy: Asylum Seeker may in fact be more interesting than the game itself: In the 1990’s, Cryo Studios (the original developer behind this game) was intended to be branded as DHI, or Dark Horse Interactive, and tasked with making games based on properties that the comic…

ARKHAM ORIGINS PART 3: URBAN CHAOS: RIOT RESPONSE (PS2)

While I have no way of confirming this, a reason for the final title may have been…

ARKHAM ORIGINS PART 1: HULK (PS2)

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/15/2013 Leading up to the October 25th release of Batman: Arkham Origins, as opposed to reviewing or featuring Asylum and City, I thought it would be more original to look at the previous comic book themed games created by WB Games Creative Director, Eric Holmes and another thematic origin game.…

REVIEW: THE WALKING DEAD: SURVIVAL INSTINCT (PS3)

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/13/2013 The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct was a target from the day it was unveiled to the public: A “me too” Walking Dead first-person action game from publisher Activision, infamous for milking franchises like Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero and Call of Duty among others to death, based on the AMC…

REVIEW VS.: WOLVERINE ADAMANTIUM RAGE (SNES VS. GENESIS)

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 07/26/2013 struggled a lot with the 16-bit section of Wolverine’s gameography. After many valiant efforts, I failed miserably in trying to finish either of these terrible, terrible games from publisher LJN. As opposed to revealing in my failure, I decided it would be fun to pit Wolverine Adamantium Rage by…
