At the beginning of Arkham Asylum, the player only has a limited number of the Dark Knight’s gadgets. As they progress…
When the public was given a first look at PlayStation 5 software during the summer, easily the game that would’ve caused people to find several hundred dollars for a new console was Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the next chapter in Sony and Insomniac Games’ new Spider-Man saga.

Save a few mobile games like 2013’s Man of Steel, there hasn’t been a big-budget console Superman game since the 2006 tie-in game to Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns. Freelance writer Matt Paprocki just had a story published on Polygon about the troubled development of the last Superman game and having read it, you’ll sadly understand why no one has gotten a…
Video games have not been kind to the Man of Steel.
