DEVELOPER: TT Games PUBLISHER: WB Games REVIEWED ON: Nintendo Switch from a copy purchased by the author. In 2013, developer TT Games produced what this very site dubbed the best Marvel console game ever in 2016: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. It more than earned that distinction by simply being a game that could be enjoyed…
In the fall of 2013, the TT Games developed LEGO Marvel Super Heroes was released, and without an ounce of hyperbole, it’s still today one of, if not the, best Marvel Comics video games ever released. Though the LEGO games that have arrived since then, both of the DC and Marvel variety, have made many…
Over the past week or so, Comic Book Video Games has broken down the big news stories and releases from what is now effectively the last generation of consoles. Now it’s time to crown the top ten titles that graced the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One thus far. Technically speaking, both consoles are still being…
Last November, both Sony and Microsoft rolled out their next-generation consoles in the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S/X respectively. While support for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One hasn’t dried up yet, it’s inevitable that the boxes we’ve enjoyed for the past seven years will become quaint relics. To that end, I thought…
When the public was given a first look at PlayStation 5 software during the summer, easily the game that would’ve caused people to find several hundred dollars for a new console was Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the next chapter in Sony and Insomniac Games’ new Spider-Man saga. Thankfully, Sony announced earlier this week that those who can’t…
This is perhaps one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write, and I think deep down we’ve all been preparing for it, but today it happened. Today, November 12th, 2018, we lost Stan Lee. I saw the news as I was at work, and I honestly was considering asking my employer if I…
Venom had the (dis)honor of having his big screen debut in the well-meaning, but very flawed Spider-Man 3 in 2007. Now, eleven years later, the Spider-Man villain turned anti-hero is set to headline his own movie starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and the toothy title character, arriving this Friday, October 5th. While this weekend will only mark Venom’s…
Co-created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee and debuting in the pages of the Fantastic Four in 1966, it would be forty years after his introduction to the world that Black Panther would make any appearances in a video game. It was in the massive Marvel crossover action-RPG Marvel Ultimate Alliance released in 2006 that players would be able…
When the first Thor film came out in 2011, there were three unique titles released alongside it under the banner Thor: God of Thunder from Sega. 2013’s Thor: The Dark World only saw a free-to-play mobile game release next to it; however a truncated version of the films events were played out in a bonus…
The Vulture is one of Spider-Man’s oldest foes, and that’s not because traditionally the character is portrayed as an elderly man, having made his high-flying debut in 1963’s The Amazing Spider-Man #2. There has been a steady release of Spider-Man films since 2002, yet this weekend’s Spider-Man: Homecoming will mark the first time the character…
