September 23rd, 2014. Mark it on your calenders fans, as that’s when you’ll be able to take home Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes. The game will be available on everything short of dedicated handheld deviecs: PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, Nintendo Wii U and iOS. You of course can pick up the starter pack, which comes…
One of the great things about picking up a video game based on a comic book is that you get to inhabit the role of your favorite super hero. Whether it’s swinging around the streets of New York as Spider-Man, soaring through the air as the Man of Steel or frightening foes from the shadows…
Marvel Super Heroes in War of the Gems is one of those games that’s difficult to categorize. It shares the name of a popular arcade game, also by Capcom, that came out in 1995 though it’s a 2-D action plat-former and not a tournament fighter. It also can be considered a sequel of sorts to…
So yesterday’s pretty obvious news tease was indeed correct, and we have an All New Captain America: Sam Wilson AKA The Falcon. In reading this news story across countless outlets this morning, comment sections are flooded with posts like “big deal, they’re only going to change him back anyway” or “he’ll be back, just like…
Marvel recently held their creators retreat where all of the writers and artists pitch new ideas and dream up the stories that will fill the pages of our favorite books for the forseeable future. And perhaps tease video games as well… Spider-Man and Silver Surfer scribe Dan Slott posted a tweet that seems to hint…
Rocksteady Studios is an amazing game development house, that can’t be denied by anyone. With only three games to their name (and a fourth on the way!) I have yet to play a game produced by them that I didn’t enjoy. Even their first effort, Urban Chaos: Riot Response, was a pretty great debut effort,…
The Punisher: The Ultimate Payback! plays nearly identically to its counterpart on the NES, and in fact comes from the same developer, Beam Software. Unfortunately, it’s missing a lot of what made that game fun. The largest omission being the ability to move The Punisher across the screen to avoid bullets. It’s an understandable omission…
When it was initially announced, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions from series first developer Beenox seemed like a game hinged on a flimsy gimmick for the purpose of injecting life into Activision’s fledgling but once renowned series of Spider-Man games. Upon its release, Shattered Dimensions turned out to be a really great game, presented as a love…
Prior to the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the Nintendo DS, development duties for Spider-Man games on the DS had fallen on Griptonite Games who created some pretty great “metroidvania” style games featuring the web-slinger with Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions. That particular studio was purchased by Glu Mobile in 2011 to work…
