If it hits the way Square-Enix hopes, Marvel’s Avengers could become an evolving platform in and of itself that could see years worth of support through additional characters and expansions. The roster of the game thus far is but a handful, but it’s a good starting point, just like the first Avengers film was back in 2012.…
The logistics of making a Marvel Gaming Universe that would be comparable to the intricately woven, interconnected Marvel Cinematic Universe is near impossible due in large part to how video games are made, distributed and sold. If you consider last year’s Marvel Spider-Man for the Sony PlayStation 4 as the start of the MGU, it could very…
This week the world turns its collective attention to Marvel Avengers: Endgame, a film that will conclude over a decade of films in the shared Marvel Cinematic Universe and reveal the fate of those affected by The Snap at the conclusion of Marvel Avengers: Infinity War. Throughout the years there have been many Marvel video games that share a…
Venom had the (dis)honor of having his big screen debut in the well-meaning, but very flawed Spider-Man 3 in 2007. Now, eleven years later, the Spider-Man villain turned anti-hero is set to headline his own movie starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and the toothy title character, arriving this Friday, October 5th. While this weekend will only mark Venom’s…

Soul Time Space Mind Reality Power Each of the six Infinity Gems, or Stones as they’re referred to now, provide their wielder with near Godlike power, but when combined, like as they were in the classic story The Infinity Gauntlet and next week’s highly anticipated Marvel Avengers: Infinity War, their combined might is multiplied to even greater proportions with…
2017 was a MASSIVE year for comic book video games from sheer volume alone with long gestating titles like Battle Chasers: Nightwar finally coming out, the release of two major AAA fighting games and surprises like a remaster of Rogue Trooper and a collection of NES Disney games that included the likes of DuckTales and it’s pricey sequel, DuckTales 2. So far the…

In previous years around the holiday season I’ve looked at comic book games with a Christmas twist such as Batman: Arkham Origins, the many games inspired by Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, and Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron. While growing up, video games were of my most coveted Christmas gifts as it was only really around that time of year when I…
Since the 1995 release of Justice League: Task Force, there’s been six unique games to feature the name “Justice League” in their title, yet none of those games could really be considered the definitive game to feature the team.
