Over this past month I’ve now looked at three versions of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 that have all addressed the Civil War conflict.

To…
I’m an owner of a PS4, and I’m happy with the console I picked this generation. HOWEVER, if Microsoft wishes to make this promotional item a mass-produced product, I’m prepared to somehow find the money to get an Xbox One to sit alongside my PS4. Xbox France is doing a promotional give way tied into next…
When Activision started their Marvel action-RPG series with the original X-Men Legends, development responsibilities primarily fell on Raven Software with the occasional porting duties being outsourced to other studios. With development on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Singularity and a reboot of the Wolfenstein franchise all happening simultaneously, Raven had very little resources to commit to the second and final Marvel Ultimate Alliance game released in…
The dungeon-crawler action-RPG genre was a good fit for the PSP.

It’s nearly here, folks, just a month and a bit away. After we finally get to see Batman and Superman throw down this weekend in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, it’s just a short wait until we get to see Team Captain America tussle with Team Iron Man on the big screen in Captain America: Civil War. Throughout the…
Next year we’ll finally get a game that ties into Marvel’s Avengers film franchise with the release of Lego Marvel’s The Avengers, but once upon a time this was meant to happen four years ago. Prior to their closure, former video game publisher THQ had commissioned its Australia studio along with Blue Tongue Studios to make a…
Not to be outdone by Disney Infinity and Marvel Puzzle Quest, WB and TT Games have released a new trailer for next year’s anticipated quasi sequel Lego Marvel’s The Avengers. The new trailer doesn’t show off any of the voices from the film, though they are confirmed to be in there, but what it does…
