REVIEW: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN DLC

I finally had a chance to play last week’s Amazing Spider-Man DLC over the weekend, so I’ll chime in with my impressions. Rhino Challenge Pack I’ve actually been in possession of this since I purchased the game last June. The pack is a score attack game where you take control of the Rhino and try…

REVIEW: MARVEL VS. CAPCOM (DREAMCAST)

Because I still had my Dreamcast hooked up, and the fact that it’s being rereleased as a download title in two weeks, I decided to take a look at the original Marvel Vs. Capcom. In the late 1990’s, what was known as the “Vs.” series became hugely popular due to its combination of Street Fighter…

REVIEW: SPIDER-MAN (DREAMCAST)

This past Sunday marked the 13th anniversary of the launch of the Sega Dreamcast. That’s not a nice number that people usually break out the retrospectives over, but I have a soft spot for the system and that gives me an excuse to talk about it, and one of my favorite superhero games: Spider-Man.

REVIEW: GHOST RIDER (PS2)

With a new Ghost Rider film dropping in theaters next week, I thought it would be rather topical to take a look at the Spirit of Vengeance’s first and only major console release: Ghost Rider for the PS2. Ghost Rider was released to coincide with the 2007 film released from Sony and serves as a…

REVIEW: THE PUNISHER (XBOX)

  Existing as I do now in the future, I can’t think of anyone I would rather make a Punisher videogame than Volition. This is the studio that put itself on the map for making EVERYTHING destructible in the Red Faction shooter franchise, and would eventually go on to make the crazy over the top…
