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. 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…

REVIEW: BATGIRL: A MATTER OF FAMILY DLC (PS4)

After the extremely disappointing day one DLC that came with Batman: Arkham Knight, my optimism about the stand alone Batgirl DLC from WB Games Montreal, titled A Matter of Family, was understandably shaken. Both the Harley Quinn and Red Hood expansion packs were pretty pointless and added little to the story of the main game, let alone the Arkham series as…

REVIEW: FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER (PS2/Wii)

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…

REVIEW: X-MEN: MUTANT ACADEMY (PSOne)

Back around the time when promotion was starting to ramp up for Activision’s X-Men: Mutant Academy, I failed to see why the world needed it. I understood why it was coming out as Fox’s first X-Men film was on the way and there was money to be made, but save that, it never felt like a game I needed. As…

REVIEW: FANTASTIC FOUR (PSONE)

Fantastic Four on the PSOne wouldn’t be the first time that members of the group would get their own game, that honour would go to the PC graphical adventure title Questrobe featuring Human Torch and the Thing, but it marked the first time the Four would be together in their own video game and on a console…

REVIEW: BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT (PS4)

In 2009, then little known developer Rocksteady with only one game to their credit changed the way the world would look at licensed and comic book games forever with the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum. Combining an amazing combat system, tense sneaking encounters, a touch of Metroid-esque gadget collection and exploration as well as fan-favourite cast members from…

JULY IS FANTASTIC FOUR MONTH ON COMIC GAMERS ASSEMBLE

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…

REVIEW: BATMAN FOREVER: THE ARCADE GAME (PSONE)

Batman Forever was the turning point for Warner Bros. third go at the Batman film franchise not only from a movie making stand point, but for the tie-in games as well. Except for the games developed by American studios like Batman Returns on the Sega Genesis, most of the Batman film games were developed by Japanese…
