Following the success of 2000’s Spider-Man from developer Neversoft, Activision released not one, not two, but three different Spider-Man games in 2001: Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six on the aging Game Boy Color, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro on the similarly aging PSOne, and Spider-Man: Mysterio’s Menace on the freshly released Game Boy Advance that served as the wall-crawler’s debut on the handheld.…
A trend that has surfaced in gaming last generation and spilling into this one is companies either remaking, or remastering games. Chances are if you picked up a PS4 last fall it may have came with a remaster of the critically acclaimed PS3 title The Last of Us, or maybe you picked up an updated version…
2014 saw a lot of big-budget Hollywood movies make it to theaters, but hardly any tie-in games released next to them that arrived on a traditional console or handheld, more than likely due to diminishing returns on rushed-to-market games when easier, digestible games can be made for mobile devices. Never one to miss out on…
THE BEST REASON TO GET A SECOND JOB AWARD WINNER: DISNEY INFINITY 2.0: MARVEL SUPER HEROES (MULTI) The new “toys-to-life” category that has emerged in this decade thanks to Activision’s Skylanders is not a genre to be taken lightly, and it’s even a greater force to be recokoned with now that Disney has entered the…
When it comes to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and video games, the two haven’t gotten along for quite some time. After being a part of some of the best licensed video games ever produced in Konami’s TMNT: The Arcade Game and Turtles in Time, there really hasn’t been a truly excellent game starring the anthropomorphic…
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.…
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,…
I’ve often struggled on whether or not to cover Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games on this site, as technically they did start out as comic book characters. Whether or not I choose to cover TMNT games is still up for debate, but something I simply had to report on is the new TMNT game coming…
Being a new PS4 owner, I tuned into the Sony press-conference held at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany to find out about all the new games coming out for the system. On the demo reel during one of the pre-show advertisements where it showed games currently available on the system, I caught a glimpse of The…
They’re at this point literally dozens, if not hundreds of characters in the X-Men universe, but none as iconic as Wolverine. He’s been the face of the X-Men film franchise since the original came out in 2000 and has been the only mutant to appear in every film, as well as to have their own…
