This week saw the launch of Spawn: Resurrection, an attempt by Image to inject life back into the character made popular in the 90’s by creator Todd McFarlane by bringing original Spawn Al Simmons back from the dead (undead?) and hiring writer Paul Jenkins (Marvel Knight’s Inhumans) to oversee the character’s new direction. Two Halloween’s ago I reviewed every Spawn…
SPOILERS FOLLOW FOR: SPIDER-MAN (PSOne/DC/N64/GBC/PC), SPIDER-MAN 2: ENTER ELECTRO (PSOne), SPIDER-MAN: MYSTERIO’S MENACE (GBA), SPIDER-MAN 2: THE SINISTER SIX (GBC). From late 2000 through 2001 and before they started focusing more on Spider-Man movie games, Activision produced five Spider-Man games that are seemingly unrelated from one another, with the exception of the two PSOne titles…
It’s finally happened, Spider-Man is home! The news I woke up to this morning via my Facebook feed was that Sony/Disney/Marvel Studios have finally come to an agreement that will allow Spider-Man to become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This news has caused such a ripple that Marvel has moved its five-year film slate…
A trend that has surfaced in gaming last generation and spilling into this one is companies either remaking, or remastering games. Chances are if you picked up a PS4 last fall it may have came with a remaster of the critically acclaimed PS3 title The Last of Us, or maybe you picked up an updated version…
Presently I’m busy playing games and gathering my thoughts on the second chapter of my “Year of Acclaim” feature (something that’s proving to be EXTREMELY difficult), and on top of that I’m brainstorming up some new ideas I’d like to share with you for other parts of the year as well. Starting with: APRIL ULTIMATE…
I was tagged in a Facebook post this morning and asked to list ten games as quickly as I can that stuck with me. Presently I’m not in a space in which to respond to that post, so instead I’m going to run with the idea and put my own special twist on it, so…
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. One concept that seems like a slam dunk…
Something I have an invested interest in is the behind the scenes information of things. I love reading about how things, like say, a train wreck of a movie came to be, or why a game never came to stores. Over the past couple of days I’ve been compiling of list of comic book games…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/18/2013 1997 was a HUGE year for the Spawn franchise: the comic book series was at the peak of its popularity, action figures featuring the character lined toy shore shelves, the HBO series debuted to an overwhelming positive reception and the first (and to this date, only) live action film…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 10/13/2013 The history behind Hellboy: Asylum Seeker may in fact be more interesting than the game itself: In the 1990’s, Cryo Studios (the original developer behind this game) was intended to be branded as DHI, or Dark Horse Interactive, and tasked with making games based on properties that the comic…
