Spider-Man: Homecoming’s success has caused a lot of people, including yours truly, to look back on one of the most beloved video games starring the web-slinger, Spider-Man 2. One such group to wax nostalgic about the game is Smosh Games, who in their recent entry in the Honest Game Trailers series, tackles the fan-favorite 2004 urban Tarzan simulator. One correction…
The Vulture is one of Spider-Man’s oldest foes, and that’s not because traditionally the character is portrayed as an elderly man, having made his high-flying debut in 1963’s The Amazing Spider-Man #2. There has been a steady release of Spider-Man films since 2002, yet this weekend’s Spider-Man: Homecoming will mark the first time the character…
I’ve reviewed a few Spider-Man movie tie-in video games for this site over the years, some even like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on both the PS4 and 3DS when they were just released in 2014, and over the past two weeks I’ve been posting reviews for the ones that I had yet to cover in any capacity.…
In 2011, Beenox delivered the first ever Spider-Man game to the 3DS with the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Edge of Time was a respectable port to Nintendo’s underpowered handheld (in comparison to the main SKU of the game on PS3 and Xbox 360) that suffered from what a lot of 3-D games did on the PSP. The…
Marvel, and their parent company, Disney, are a tough bunch to read when it comes to certain properties. Many have speculated over the years that Marvel, Disney, or even both have black listed characters from the X-Men and Fantastic Four series because they do not retain the movie rights to those characters, and thus they…
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and 2011’s Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the Nintendo DS, despite being unique experiences from their console counterparts, have a lot in common. Both failed to live up to the quality of their previous outings, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, though in the case of the DS game the development from Dimensions to Edge of Time had a developer change with Newfoundland based Other…
The Spider-Man games on the DS had a bit of a yo-yo thing happening starting out: Spider-Man 2 was not really that great, but Ultimate Spider-Man was terrific; Spider-Man: Battle for New York was a poor man’s attempt at trying to duplicate the quality of Ultimate Spider-Man but Spider-Man 3 returned things to form with a unique take on the open-world genre in two-dimensions and…
Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the North American theatrical release of the first Men in Black film, a day when a comic book property that no one probably really knew about became a multi-billion dollar franchise that showed that Will Smith owned the fourth of July weekend (well, until Wild Wild West anyway). Over the past week I’ve…
Canada, the country in which I call home, is celebrating a milestone birthday today. July 1st, 2017 marks the 150th birthday of the day that the country known as Canada came into existence. Video game fans owe a lot to the country of Canada, for without it and the talented people who live in it,…
Think back to a time when you were a kid with a pile of action figures. Some toys belonged in the same line or universe, while others were from things wholly unrelated to the fiction you wanted to create in your head. Heroes would team up with other heroes they normally would never cross paths…
