A few months back, I reviewed a somewhat obscure comic book game for the Sega Genesis called Ex-Mutants. The source material for the game was based on a comic that was originally published under the Eternity Comics label before being passed around to several other companies, eventually winding up at Malibu Comics which was purchased by Marvel…
During Sony’s E3 press conference when it was unveiled via a trailer that Insomniac Games was making a Spider-Man game exclusive to the PlayStation 4, my excitement level burst through the roof, and from what I’ve read and seen online in articles and discussions, I’m not the only one. During a recent episode of Huber Syndrome on…
No, you’re not reading that title wrong and yes, it is indeed a thing. I like to think I know a lot about comic book video games, but sometimes even I stumble across something that makes me say “How did I now know about this?”. I didn’t know about the existence of Ex-Mutants, either the video game…
When it comes to Dick Tracy and video games, people generally think of the NES game developed by Bandai because they saw people like the Angry Video Game Nerd and Game Grumps, among many others I’m sure, riff on it in a YouTube video. Unfortunately for Dick Tracy, people picked the wrong title to showcase for their video productions as there’s a…
I’ve talked about a lot of games based upon comic book properties, but never once have I covered a game that’s set inside a comic book.

Batman Returns on the NES is a pretty terrific game. Batman Returns on the SNES is a fantastic game. Batman Returns on the Sega Genesis is one of those constant reminders of why I’m forever grateful that I owned a SNES growing up as opposed to Sega’s machine that I wished I had after being…
It’s officially December 1st, and you know what that means! That’s right, people who don’t work in the customer service are getting excited that Christmas is right around the corner while the rest of us are looking for reservations in the closest mental hospital or emergency room. To help brighten your day and spread some…
Man, that cover, just…wow. The Punisher looks like he’s going to jump off the box and swallow you whole. Before I get into talking about this game, I’m going to lay out some things. This game is a conversion of an arcade game, however growing up, I didn’t have a local arcade, the closest was…
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 07/26/2013 struggled a lot with the 16-bit section of Wolverine’s gameography. After many valiant efforts, I failed miserably in trying to finish either of these terrible, terrible games from publisher LJN. As opposed to revealing in my failure, I decided it would be fun to pit Wolverine Adamantium Rage by…
