While most people would like to forget that 2016 ever happened, it was a pretty awesome year for comic book video games: The opening month of the year got the excellent Lego Marvel’s The Avengers; We got some great content in the toys-to-life genre in both Lego Dimensions and the sadly now defunct Disney Infinity; Telltale wowed with its Michonne…
The moment of truth is finally here. After spending all of 2016 highlighting what I feel to be the best Marvel console games of all time, it’s finally time to rank them in order from least greatest to absolute greatest. Normally when I do a ranking list, with a few exceptions, I tend to just…
Spider-Man enjoyed a comeback in the video game world thanks to efforts from developers Neversoft, Vicarious Visions and Treyarch, but it was around the time that Spider-Man 3 arrived in both theatres and on consoles as well as handhelds that things started to once again trend downward for the web-slinger.

Unless you live in certain cities around the world, it’s near impossible to…
Voice actors who do work in the field of video games took to the picket lines late last month to strike for better working conditions and fairer compensation for the strenuous and important work they do that help make the games we play that much better. Sadly this means that until this strike is over,…
Dear Insomniac, While I wasn’t there with you day one during the Disruptor and Spyro the Dragon days on the PSOne, I came to love your studio and games dearly in the PS2 era thanks to the fantastic Ratchet and Clank games. The first Ratchet game on the PS3, Future: Tools of Destruction as well as the launch title Resistance: Fall of Man were both system sellers…
The mid-to-late 2000’s were an interesting time for third-party games given how many different devices were on the market. In previous generations, there would be one version of a game across several platforms, each with own compromises, and perhaps a paired down version on the Game Boy, but in that time period, there were so…
If you’ve read my feature about the Nintendo 64’s library of comic books games, you’ll know that there wasn’t that many released from the time in launched in September of 1996 to the time its last game, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, arrived in 2002.
