When it comes to villains, Spider-Man is my opinion is tied with Batman as having the most recognizable rogues gallery: Sandman, Vulture, Electro, Venom, Carnage, Rhino, and Doc Ock are just some of the baddies that someone who doesn’t even read Spider-Man comics may know as they were either in a movie, an episode of…
Now that I’ve finally confirmed once and for all that Spider-Man 3 is inferior to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it’s not time to turn our attentions to what title is superior: Spider-Man (2002) or The Amazing Spider-Man. While both games share a common ground in that they’re products intended to tie into the release of a Spider-Man film, in particular the start…
Developer Beenox’s fortunes turned around pretty quickly with their work on the Spider-Man video game franchise. After an excellent debut in 2010 in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, they lost a lot of good will they gathered with a rushed follow-up in 2011, Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Luckily for them, there was a Spider-Man movie coming out in 2012 and with…
Late last week, whether to test the waters to see if people would be for the idea, to hint at something hopefully in the works, or just thinking out loud, Bayonetta 2 director Yusuke Hashimoto stated he would love to make a game in the Spider-Verse, specifically starring the breakout character from the Edge of Spider-Verse series, Spider-Gwen. This news, as you…
Since I started thinking about making this site and actually putting it into action, I’ve accumulated A LOT of comic book themed games, primarily on consoles running through the NES up to the PS4. I haven’t sat down to count them lately, but right now the number is some where over 100, perhaps even several…
When it was released back in 2001, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro was a respectable follow-up to 2000’s Spider-Man from Activision, but it didn’t do that much new than the game it built upon. What everyone was really looking forward to was Spider-Man’s debut on the sixth generation of consoles which was already announced to be the game that…
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…
SPOILERS FOLLOW FOR: SPIDER-MAN (PSOne/DC/N64/GBC/PC), SPIDER-MAN 2: ENTER ELECTRO (PSOne), SPIDER-MAN: MYSTERIO’S MENACE (GBA), SPIDER-MAN 2: THE SINISTER SIX (GBC). From late 2000 through 2001 and before they started focusing more on Spider-Man movie games, Activision produced five Spider-Man games that are seemingly unrelated from one another, with the exception of the two PSOne titles…
Spider-Mania was developing early in the new millenium as the release date inched ever so closer to Sony’s first Spider-Man film and 2001 saw two different sequels starring the character released to capitalize on that: Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro from Vicarious Visions for the PSOne and Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six on Game Boy Color from Torus…
