Rocksteady Studios is an amazing game development house, that can’t be denied by anyone. With only three games to their name (and a fourth on the way!) I have yet to play a game produced by them that I didn’t enjoy. Even their first effort, Urban Chaos: Riot Response, was a pretty great debut effort,…
To say that the character of Iron Man has not achieved the level of success in the video game world as he has in Hollywood would be a hilarious under statement. In the film world, the Iron Man series has grossed over a billion dollars in box-office sales, and the character was part of the…
I’ve spent a lot of this week looking at nearly all the games with the words “Captain America” in the title, so now that I’ve looked at each game individually, let’s rank the games starring the Star Spangled Avenger from worst to best. 8) CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE AVENGERS (GAME BOY) The first handheld outing…
When it came to bringing arcade games to the under-powered NES, developers normally chose to go one of two routes: Craft a graphically inferior or somewhat downgraded port of the coin-op experience (i.e Capcom’s Ghosts N’ Goblins, Konami’s TMNT II: The Arcade game,) or just take the name of the game and make something completely…
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 05/13/2013 Gameloft, the company behind Iron Man 3, is no stranger to mobile based film tie-ins having crafted games based on last summer’s The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man. Whereas those games tried to be more traditional games emulated on a mobile platform, Iron Man 3 works the…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 05/13/2013 I am by no means a professional reviewer, it is merely something I do in my own free time. One principle I’ve always tried to uphold when reviewing something is that I try to see it to the end. In the case of video games, story or mechanic problems…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 05/13/2013 Iron Man 2 comes to us courtesy of studio Griptonite games, a developer I’ve taking a liking to for crafting some great superhero themed games like Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and Shattered dimensions (also for the NDS) and Marvel Super Hero Squad: the Infinity Gauntlet. To simply sum up…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 05/13/2013 Iron Man 2 for both the Wii and PSP are similar to the first Iron Man film tie-in games in that the development for each of the consoles was handled by a different studio. While a rebranded Secret Level would continue on to craft Iron Man 2 for the…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 05/12/2013 Hailing from a different developer than the PS3/Xbox 360 counterparts, Iron Man for the Wii/PS2/PSP was created by Canadian studio A2M (Artificial Mind and Movement, minds out of the gutter people). The game is a completely different experience than its current generation system counterparts, though it does use the…
