When Disney Interactive showed the first full trailer for this fall’s Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes, it showed not only the announced Avengers characters, but also the yet to be officially unveiled Spider-Man figures (that are now available for pre-order,) as well as a certain raccoon and tree-alien from a movie coming out this summer:…
Everyone knows I play an excessive amount of comic book related video games, a reasonable enough deduction seeing I manage and produce content for a site called “Comic Gamers Assemble.” However, what you may not know, you may want to be sitting down for this, is that I sometime’s play video games…that are just video…
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…
Man, that cover, just…wow. The Punisher looks like he’s going to jump off the box and swallow you whole. Before I get into talking about this game, I’m going to lay out some things. This game is a conversion of an arcade game, however growing up, I didn’t have a local arcade, the closest was…

The results are something far better than those mediocre games even managing to have some better qualities to the superior game…
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…
Prior to the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the Nintendo DS, development duties for Spider-Man games on the DS had fallen on Griptonite Games who created some pretty great “metroidvania” style games featuring the web-slinger with Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions. That particular studio was purchased by Glu Mobile in 2011 to work…
