Like the Men in Black film franchise, the steady release of video games across consoles and handhelds ceased after the release of Men in Black 2. Without a film or animated series in which to tie into, it seemed like there was little interest in keeping the brand alive in the video game space until a third movie rolled…
When it came to Spider-Man movie tie-in games, Nintendo handhelds always seemed to get the least impressive versions. On the Game Boy Advance quality went on an upgrade trend from parts one through three, however all games were at best above average side-scrolling action games that, like in the case of the “open-world” portions of Spider-Man…
Now defunct publisher Crave was the first company to release a Men in Black game based on the animated series, doing so on Nintendo’s Game Boy Color. Although there were two other games based on the Men in Black animated series for the Game Boy Color, the third and final game released by Crave before they…
Chris Baker, author of WRONG! Retro Games You Messed Up Our Comic Book Heroes!, and future YouTube sensation was at Too Many Games, an event held in Philadelphia last weekend, and captured eleven of the most expensive comic book games he could find at the show.

When you look at the time line of the Spider-Man movie handheld tie-in games, it’s a pretty interesting one. When Spider-Man (2002) came out, there was only the Game Boy Advance, and it was initially that way for Spider-Man 2 until later in 2004 and into early 2005 when the Nintendo DS, N-Gage and PSP launched to stores. In…

NOTE: GAME PRIMARILY PLAYED ON PSP WITH CHECKS DONE ON THE PS2 AND Wii VERSIONS Like the first and second Spider-Man films, there was big expectations for Spider-Man 3 the video game given the leap in quality from Spider-Man (2002) to 2004’s Spider-Man 2. Even though the at the time next generation version of Spider-Man 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360 was…
As big as 1997’s Men in Black was, North American console only gamers wouldn’t be able to play as a member of the elite, shadowy, alien policing organization on a home console until a year after the PlayStation 2, and it wouldn’t even be on the PS2, but rather the original PlayStation. Like the MIB’s debut Game…
What if? What if? was a simple two-word question that once was a comic series published by Marvel. Such stories were told as What if Jane Foster Found the Hammer of Thor?…wait, that happened, or What if the Alien Costume had Possessed Spider-Man?. What if? is perhaps the best way to start talking about Spider-Man 2 on the PSP. An…
Despite benefitting graphically from the upgrade to Game Boy Color hardware, everything else about Men in Black: The Series was utterly forgettable: The game and level design was boring; the play time was short as well as unchallenging and the controls were simple but at the same time weirdly convoluted. The weirdly titled Men in Black 2: The…
