SPOILERS FOLLOW FOR: SPIDER-MAN (PSOne/DC/N64/GBC/PC), SPIDER-MAN 2: ENTER ELECTRO (PSOne), SPIDER-MAN: MYSTERIO’S MENACE (GBA), SPIDER-MAN 2: THE SINISTER SIX (GBC). From late 2000 through 2001 and before they started focusing more on Spider-Man movie games, Activision produced five Spider-Man games that are seemingly unrelated from one another, with the exception of the two PSOne titles…
Following the success of 2000’s Spider-Man from developer Neversoft, Activision released not one, not two, but three different Spider-Man games in 2001: Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six on the aging Game Boy Color, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro on the similarly aging PSOne, and Spider-Man: Mysterio’s Menace on the freshly released Game Boy Advance that served as the wall-crawler’s debut on the handheld.…
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…
Yes, THAT Acclaim. However, it may not be what you think, or if you picked up on the hint in the last part of my Game of the Year feature, then yes, it’s exactly what you think. In 2015 I’m going to be reviewing all of the Acclaim comic book games, but not the…
In the world of comic book video games, 2006 will go down as they year of the super hero team up. In the Marvel camp, there was Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the third overhead action-RPG from developer Raven who cut their teeth previously on the excellent X-Men Legends games, and on the DC side there was…
I never know what to expect when I get my hands on a Game Boy Advance version of a game that’s designed for a console. Sometimes you get a hidden gem, like X2: Wolverine’s Revenge, other times you get a complete dud, like Superman Returns. Batman: Vengeance doesn’t surpass its big brother on consoles, but…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 07/25/2013 If the Game Boy Advance version of X2: Wolverine’s Revenge didn’t have the aesthetics from comics that were published around the year 2000, it would be easy to mistake it for a long lost game from the SNES and Genesis era. Simply put, this game was quite a surprise…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/21/2013 I’ve said this in other reviews, heck I even did one for Superman 64, but Superman 64 is a bad game. It has terrible controls, bad character models and animation, you name it its got it. But the one thing that game let you do was play as Superman.…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/212/2013 You have to give Atari huge credit for publishing not one, but two Superman games inspired by the animated series. They followed in the wake of Titus Superman 64, and at a time when the series had been off the air for over two and a half years. Superman:…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 03/15/2013 2002’s the Invincible Iron Man (IIM for abbreviation purposes here on out) from developer Torus Games and publisher Activision is not the first game to bill Iron Man as a title character, that honor would go to 1995’s Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal from Acclaim (coming…
