Back in early 2012 when I started Comic Gamers Assemble, one of the games I was reporting on was the progenitor free-to-play Marvel title, Marvel: Avengers Alliance that initially launched on Facebook but has since been ported to mobile devices and even received a sequel this year, Marvel: Avengers Alliance 2. Avengers Alliance was the first in the string of free-to-play…
Presently I’m busy playing games and gathering my thoughts on the second chapter of my “Year of Acclaim” feature (something that’s proving to be EXTREMELY difficult), and on top of that I’m brainstorming up some new ideas I’d like to share with you for other parts of the year as well.

In the 90’s, comic book games and the beat-em-up genre went together like peanut butter and jelly: X-Men, Spider-Man, The Punisher, Superman, and Batman all got their turn and of course there’s Data East’s Captain America and the Avengers.

It’s natural in the world of comics for there to be alternate universes. Whether it’s Marvel’s Ultimate or DC’s Earth prime or whatever they’re calling it these days, there’s going to be events that parallel each other. I’d like to think that there is a universe parallel to our own where THQ’s Avengers first-person universe…

No screens or gameplay details have been announced about the game, but the press release states that the game is inspired by…
I can’t think of any hotter property in the world right now than the Avengers. The movie is doing fantastic (both critically and financially) and rumors are buzzing about an assembly of earth’s mightiest heroes in a new videogame. I’ve talked about the Marvel Cinematic Universe games in the “Assembling the Avengers (Games)” articles, but…
Images were leaked online from Blockbuster UK showing a supposed list of launch titles for Nintendo’s upcoming platform, the Wii U. In that list is a game simply titled “Marvel Super Heroes”.
