The last big comic book movie of the summer is Fox’s first attempt at rebooting their Fantastic Four film franchise. Leading up the movie’s August 7th release, I’m going to look at nearly every Fantastic Four video game all throughout the month of July, culminating in a feature at the end of the month where I’ll rank…
June is here and we’re a just a few measly weeks from the release of Rocksteady and WB Games closing chapter in the Arkham saga: Batman: Arkham Knight. Over the past year to keep my mind off of the constant delays this game has undergone in the road to becoming the best possible product it can be, I’ve…
2006 was one of the strange years when Activision took a year off from making a Spider-Man console game, more than likely due to the fact that it had both Spider-Man 3, which debuted on over a half a dozen different platforms, and Spider-Man: Friend or Foe each set to be released in 2007. Just because a new Spider-Man…
When it launched in the fall of 2004, no one really knew what to think of Ninendo’s latest handheld, dubbed the DS. The touch screen interface, something that’s common today, was unheard of at the time and just around the corner was Sony’s PSP, a portable with near PS2 quality graphics and traditional buttons. 2005…
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. Starting with: APRIL ULTIMATE…
The Nintendo DS. Once a system I thought would spell the demise of the Nintendo handheld as we knew it, especially in the wake of Sony’s PSP device, went on to become a machine I would own multiple iterations of and spend countless hours playing. Games like Elite Beat Agents, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, the…
Spider-Man has a history on the Nintendo DS handheld going back as far to the systems launch in 2004 with Spider-Man 2. Since the inception of the machine, hardly a year has gone by where the web-slinging wonder hasn’t made an appearance and a lot of the titles featuring the character are great games, including…
Batman has been featured in an animated series, whether his own or part of an ensemble, since Batman: The Animated Series debuted in the early 90’s. Where there’s a cartoon, there’s inevitably a video game or two to capitalize on its popularity and Batman had them in spades, however the well had seemingly dried up…
Griptonite Games pulled double duty in the summer of 2011 on comic book movie games: They were responsible for three out of the four versions of Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters as well as the handheld version of Captain America: Super Soldier. The studio has had varying degree of quality in their comic book…
Prior to the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the Nintendo DS, development duties for Spider-Man games on the DS had fallen on Griptonite Games who created some pretty great “metroidvania” style games featuring the web-slinger with Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions. That particular studio was purchased by Glu Mobile in 2011 to work…
