I’ve reviewed a few Spider-Man movie tie-in video games for this site over the years, some even like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on both the PS4 and 3DS when they were just released in 2014, and over the past two weeks I’ve been posting reviews for the ones that I had yet to cover in any capacity.…
When it came to Spider-Man movie tie-in games, Nintendo handhelds always seemed to get the least impressive versions. On the Game Boy Advance quality went on an upgrade trend from parts one through three, however all games were at best above average side-scrolling action games that, like in the case of the “open-world” portions of Spider-Man…
When you look at the time line of the Spider-Man movie handheld tie-in games, it’s a pretty interesting one. When Spider-Man (2002) came out, there was only the Game Boy Advance, and it was initially that way for Spider-Man 2 until later in 2004 and into early 2005 when the Nintendo DS, N-Gage and PSP launched to stores. In…
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…
Spider-Man, to put it mildly, has gotten a lot of good publicity as of late. This week the character had a huge E3 when the Insomniac developed Marvel’s Spider-Man closed out the Sony press conference with a close to ten minute long gameplay demo that has received nothing but positive admiration from the enthusiast media and gaming…
Halloween is a time of year when a lot of people, both kids and adults, dress up like monsters and comic book characters so why not shine a spotlight (but not too brightly) at a character that reflects both: Morbius: The Living Vampire. Introduced as a villain in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man, Morbius has over…
Sorry about all of the Spider-Man themed articles as of late, it’s just that after the news last month about Sony leasing Spider-Man to Marvel Studios I went Spidey crazy and just started playing games I had never tried before (like Spider-Man 3) and replaying ones I had (The Amazing Spider-Man). While it might be more appropriate to…
Leading up to 2007, Activision could really do no wrong when it came to the Spider-Man license. After a strong start in 2000’s Spider-Man, they built upon that game’s foundation in a PSOne sequel Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro and the first Spider-Man movie game on the sixth generation of consoles before once again revolutionizing how we all played Spider-Man games with Spider-Man…
The Nintendo DS. Once a system I thought would spell the demise of the Nintendo handheld as we knew it, especially in the wake of Sony’s PSP device, went on to become a machine I would own multiple iterations of and spend countless hours playing. Games like Elite Beat Agents, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, the…
Being a new PS4 owner, I tuned into the Sony press-conference held at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany to find out about all the new games coming out for the system. On the demo reel during one of the pre-show advertisements where it showed games currently available on the system, I caught a glimpse of The…
