Two weeks ago a rumour, that is yet to be substantiated, surfaced that Sony could possibly be working on a Spider-Man project for the PS4. Now, as Spider-Man is my favourite super hero of all time, this news got me very excited, but even before this was even hinted at, it’s something that I postulated…
Approaching two years ago, before Sony decided to share the Spider-Man film rights with Marvel Studios, I wrote an editorial arguing that the best stewards for the Spider-Man video game franchise would be Sony themselves. Now it seems that amazing fantasy I had (see what I did there?) could, fingers crossed, be a reality. That…
If you’re a fan of comic book characters and toys-to-life games, today is a BIG, and quite expensive day. For Lego Dimensions and DC Comics fans, the Superman and Aquaman Fun Packs are available. Each cost $14.99 and give the respective characters and a vehicle. I’m looking forward very much to finally getting both characters so 1) I can…
Spider-Man was not a stranger to video games in the 90’s, having at least one video game on every console or handheld available at the time and even teaming up with another Marvel property, the X-Men. It wasn’t until 1994 with the release of Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage though that a game starring the character was truly great. Like the…
The writing has been on the wall for this news for some time now as there hasn’t been a new Spider-Man game either announced or even hinted at being in development since 2014’s awful The Amazing Spider-Man 2 tie-in game, but Canadian developer Bennox will no longer be making any more Spider-Man console games. Like nearly every…
In 2015 I looked at Acclaim’s roster of in-house produced comic book video games, and in 2016 I’m taking the year-long feature concept further and will determine what is the greatest Marvel console video game of all time. There are some things I’d like to clarify before the feature starts in the new year, the…
Fifteen years ago today, Sony launched the PlayStation 2 in North America, and in typing that sentence just now, I feel very, very old. It’s funny in hindsight because I remember being in my second year of highschool when the PlayStation 2 came out, and I was nothing but underwhelmed by its line-up and prospects.…
Back when the PlayStation first game out, I honestly had no idea what it was. At the time there was an arcade that had just launched in Canada called Playdium and I legitmately thought they were the same thing. I had no knowledge of the botched SNES add-on vaporware that never happened, and in my mind…
Say what you will about Marvel’s reliance on mobile games being less compelling than say, the brilliant Batman: Arkham Knight, but their ability to update their current slate of games to what’s going on in the world of comics is pretty amazing. Case in point, today it was announced that the new Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099…
Yesterday was a big day for comic book fans, and I’m not just saying that because Batman: Arkham Knight finally arrived to download and buy in stores. The other headline grabbing article was that Sony and Marvel announced not only the new Spider-Man who will appear alongside The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy in the…
