One of the best parts of Lego Marvel Super Heroes was exploring the huge map of New York City: hunting down gold bricks, unlocking heroes and vehicles or just listening to the funny dialogue the random citizens would spout off as you walk, flew, or drove around. As the sequel is primarily focusing on the events of…
In 2016, I’m devoting a year to determine what is the single best Marvel console video game to date, kicking things off in January with a look at Lego Marvel Super Heroes. Today as opposed to my traditional articles and features, I want to try, emphasis on try, something a little bit different: streaming. With the help of my…
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…
NOTE: This review will focus more on the PS4 port of Deadpool. For my full review of the game on the previous console generation (Xbox 360), click HERE. Whether you’re a fan of them or not, rereleases of popular games from last-gen aren’t going anywhere. While some of these remasters are a great way to introduce…

Like nearly every…
Though they weren’t called by their code names in this year’s Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were the latest characters to join the roster of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and battled along side the likes of Iron Man and Captain America. As next year’s Lego Marvel’s The Avengers uses a lot of the events that…
I always wanted to get into Puzzle Quest. Back in 2007 when it was released on the DS and PSP, the game blew up from its humble origins thanks to critical praise and hype on all the gaming podcasts I listened to at the time. Try as I might though, it didn’t quite “click” with me, perhaps…
Despite what your feelings on Marvel’s mobile video game portfolio, personally I wish they would make traditional games like WB Games does with their Arkham franchise, you can’t deny that their offerings have not been diverse: There’s a puzzle/RPG hybrid in Marvel Puzzle Quest; A fighting game in Marvel Contest of Champions and an action-RPG in Marvel Future Fight among many others.

In 2015 I looked at Acclaim’s roster of in-house produced comic book video games, and in 2016 I’m taking the year-long feature concept further and will determine what is the greatest Marvel console video game of all time.
