DEADPOOL RE-MASTER COMING TO PS4/XBOX ONE THIS NOVEMBER

Wanting to cash in on the Deadpool buzz being generated from the upcoming movie and not wanting to make a new game, publisher Activision is releasing a HD re-master of 2013’s Deadpool on both the PS4 and Xbox One this November. The kicker? It’s going to be sold as a $50 game, which is a steep price…

REVIEW: FANTASTIC FOUR: FLAME ON (GAME BOY ADVANCE)

The first Fantastic Four game for the Game Boy Advance that launched alongside the 2005 film of the same name was one of the more forgettable tie-in games, but its poor quality didn’t stop publisher Activision from enlisting that games developer from trying again later in the year. The second Fantastic Four GBA game of…

REVIEW: X-MEN: MUTANT ACADEMY (GAME BOY COLOR)

Fighting games as a genre really took off in the 16-bit era due in no small part to the one, two punch of Capcom’s Street Fighter II and Midway’s Mortal Kombat. Getting games like that to work on 8-Bit devices where the input is limited to really two buttons was never really that good an idea, but it never…

REVIEW: X-MEN: MUTANT ACADEMY (PSOne)

Back around the time when promotion was starting to ramp up for Activision’s X-Men: Mutant Academy, I failed to see why the world needed it.

THE PEANUTS MOVIE: SNOOPY’S GRAND ADVENTURE COMING THIS FALL

The long running Peanuts comic strip is coming to the big-screen this fall, and along with it a tie-in game from publisher Activision and a yet to be revealed developer. Titled The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy’s Grand Adventure, the player will take on the role of Charlie Brown’s dog Snoopy as he travels through 2-D side-scrolling environments where you’ll…

REVIEW: FANTASTIC FOUR (2005) (GAMECUBE)

Back in 2005, I don’t think that many people had high hopes for the Fantastic Four video game. Sure, it was a movie game and yes, the movie it was based on was received tepidly at best, but in hindsight there was a reason to be optimistic somewhat about it, and I can’t believe I’m going to…

REVIEW: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN (GAME BOY ADVANCE)

It’s funny to think that once upon a time Nintendo committed to keeping both the Game Boy and DS brands going simultaneously, probably as a safety precaution should the DS brand had not been the incredible success it became. With the DS attachment rate still relatively low compared the then four-year old Game Boy Advance…
