After years of games based on the Men in Black animated series, North American console exclusive gamers finally got their first ever Men in Black film universe game with the release of 2002’s Men in Black II: Alien Escape that released on both the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube. Hailing from a different developer from the team that put together the last MIB console…
NOTE: GAME PRIMARILY PLAYED ON PSP WITH CHECKS DONE ON THE PS2 AND Wii VERSIONS Like the first and second Spider-Man films, there was big expectations for Spider-Man 3 the video game given the leap in quality from Spider-Man (2002) to 2004’s Spider-Man 2. Even though the at the time next generation version of Spider-Man 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360 was…
The mid-to-late 2000’s were an interesting time for third-party games given how many different devices were on the market.

It’s amazing that after over fifteen years of the PS2 being on the market, and well over thirteen of me being a PS2 owner, that the system still manages to surprise me with incredible games. I’ve either played or owned at this point hundreds of games for Sony’s sophomore console, and yet in 2015 I…

Through the month of July, I’ve looked at all the Fantastic Four games across several generations of consoles and handhelds. While of the seven games I’ve looked at I would only really recommended you at least try two of them, some are definitely better than the rest. To close out Fantastic Four month, here’s the…
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…
The last big comic book movie of the summer is Fox’s first attempt at rebooting their Fantastic Four film franchise. Leading up the movie’s August 7th release, I’m going to look at nearly every Fantastic Four video game all throughout the month of July, culminating in a feature at the end of the month where I’ll rank…
When it comes to comic book video games, certain things should go together like cereal and milk: Swinging around as Spider-Man, mowing down thugs with automatic weapon in the shoes of the Punisher, and stalking criminals in the shadows of Gotham City in the role of Batman.
