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…
Given that The Flash is the fastest man alive, he comes and goes in the blink of an eye before anyone knew he was even there. The same could be said about the first attempt at a Flash TV series in the early 90’s, which lasted only a season due it being shuffled around to…
Sunsoft perhaps gave us one of the largest number of Batman games of any company. There first outing, Batman: The Video Game on the NES, was an example of how great a Batman game can be, and stands as one of the all time classics in the NES library. Given how well that game turned out,…
After playing through the Batman efforts produced by Sunsoft not on the NES, I had extremely low expectations going into their first Batman game on the Game Boy, one of the earliest games on the system no less. Maybe it’s because I played Batman: Revenge of the Joker prior to playing this or perhaps it’s…
Where there’s a 16-bit video game to tie into a major motion action picture, there’s inevitably a Game Boy game as well. The question that has to be asked with most conversions to the under-powered Game Boy handheld is how well a developer can capture the experience that is found on the home consoles. In…
If you’ll recall from my review of this game on the SNES, I’m probably one of the few people in the world who took it easy on this game, despite knowing full well its myriad problems. Finishing this game, a feat I once thought impossible, is something that I will always look back fondly upon…
As you may or may not recall from my review of Batman: Return of the Joker on the NES, I liked it quite a bit. It was a complete package of great controls, graphics, and music that made it a little slice of classic NES heaven. Reason stood to believe then that a version of…
The Punisher: The Ultimate Payback! plays nearly identically to its counterpart on the NES, and in fact comes from the same developer, Beam Software. Unfortunately, it’s missing a lot of what made that game fun. The largest omission being the ability to move The Punisher across the screen to avoid bullets. It’s an understandable omission…
In the 90’s, comic book games and the beat-em-up genre went together like peanut butter and jelly: X-Men, Spider-Man, The Punisher, Superman, and Batman all got their turn and of course there’s Data East’s Captain America and the Avengers. Though originally a coin-op game, it would make its way to the SNES and Sega Genesis…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/20/2013 Titus Software’s Superman 64 is renowned by many as one of the single worst video games to see release, and a black eye to the Man of Steel to boot. What most people don’t realize is that that piece of software was not the only Superman game that Titus…
