RANKING THE FANTASTIC FOUR VIDEO GAMES

Through the month of July, I’ve looked at all the Fantastic Four games across several generations of consoles and handhelds.

REVIEW: FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER (XBOX 360)

2005’s Fantastic Four was a decent action brawler inspired by a movie that was pretty average to mediocre depending on who you ask.

This week on James and Mike…

For decade’s now there have been video games based on Marvel properties: Spider-Man, the X-Men, The Punisher, even Deadpool and the Silver Surfer. A high percentage of the games released based on a Marvel property take place right here on the planet earth, and rightfully so. One of the qualities that I believe makes Marvel’s…

REVIEW: SILVER SURFER (NES)

“Blair,” you say, “you’ve seen the video, right?” Of course I’ve seen the video, it’s one of my favorite ones. So why then did I subject myself to the maddeningly difficult Silver Surfer? Well the reason is two-fold. Firstly, I’ve gotten a lot of enjoyment challenging myself with the games I’ve been playing for this…
