2005’s Fantastic Four was a decent action brawler inspired by a movie that was pretty average to mediocre depending on who you ask. In 2007, both the film and video game received a sequel in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer with the movie sticking at Fox Studios while the game property changed hands from Activision and…
Sometimes it gets me down to see the lack of comic book and super hero games coming to market, I’m talking physical games here, ones you buy in a store not apps you download on a phone and spend hours grinding on for nothing. There are others times though, when I play a game like Fantastic…
In my review of Fantastic Four on the GameCube, I wrote that while I did enjoy it, I wish that developer Seven Studios copied what fellow Marvel game developer Raven Software did with the X-Men in their X-Men Legends games. As I’ve learned from reviewing games on this site, you sometimes have to be careful of what you…
There’s a lot of figures already announced for the third iteration of Disney Infinity, much the same way there was when the Marvel centric 2.0 arrived last fall (someone didn’t spend close to $300 in one day, not anyone whose name rhymes with Flair Barrell…). Of all the figures arriving though, so far they’ve only announced two from…
The first Fantastic Four game for the Game Boy Advance that launched alongside the 2005 film of the same name was one of the more forgettable tie-in games, but its poor quality didn’t stop publisher Activision from enlisting that games developer from trying again later in the year. The second Fantastic Four GBA game of…
Fighting games as a genre really took off in the 16-bit era due in no small part to the one, two punch of Capcom’s Street Fighter II and Midway’s Mortal Kombat. Getting games like that to work on 8-Bit devices where the input is limited to really two buttons was never really that good an idea, but it never…
Back around the time when promotion was starting to ramp up for Activision’s X-Men: Mutant Academy, I failed to see why the world needed it. I understood why it was coming out as Fox’s first X-Men film was on the way and there was money to be made, but save that, it never felt like a game I needed. As…
It’s easy to be pessimistic about playing a handheld version of a console game on far superior hardware, as most of the time the handheld game will fail to reach anywhere near the quality of its console counterpart. That’s not always the case though: X2: Wolverine’s Revenge, Thor: God of Thunder and Batman: The Brave and the Bold are easily…
Just because the upcoming Lego Marvel’s The Avengers is based on the two films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn’t mean that other characters from the larger Marvel Universe aren’t coming out to play. Some new additions that have been revealed to be in the roster of the second Lego Marvel game today are Sam Wilson as…
It’s impossible not to be less than enthused when hearing news about how Marvel is adding X character to Y free-to-play game, especially after spending the last couple of weeks playing one of the greatest comic book games ever crafted in Batman: Arkham Knight. Where have the days gone where we got titles like X-Men Legends, The Incredible…
