For Sega’s series of Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase One games, it was the PS3/Xbox 360 games that most people were looking towards and being promoted in the press, but with a few exceptions, those were the ones that were to be avoided. Save Captain America: Super Soldier where the at-the-time next-gen version of the game was clearly…
This week marks a lot of important anniversaries for the manufacturers who make the consoles that we love to play video games on: Monday marked the 15th anniversary of the arrival of Microsoft in the console space with the original Xbox; November 17th sees the 10th anniversary of Sony’s third entry in the console space…
Movie games being sold to retail have gone the way of the dinosaur or the dodo, but no one sent the memo to Activision. While everyone else pushes free-to-play match-3 games to mobile devices based on popular films, Activision is still busy producing games based on properties like last year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man…
Cover based shooters existed before the year 2006, a few examples being the WinBack series, Namco’s Kill Switch or even Time Crisis in the arcade’s. Ask most people though what game they think of when they think cover based shooter, and they’ll probably say Microsoft’s big game for the Xbox 360 that year, Gears of War. What I didn’t know is that earlier…
Through the month of July, I’ve looked at all the Fantastic Four games across several generations of consoles and handhelds. While of the seven games I’ve looked at I would only really recommended you at least try two of them, some are definitely better than the rest. To close out Fantastic Four month, here’s the…
In my review of Fantastic Four on the GameCube, I wrote that while I did enjoy it, I wish that developer Seven Studios copied what fellow Marvel game developer Raven Software did with the X-Men in their X-Men Legends games. As I’ve learned from reviewing games on this site, you sometimes have to be careful of what you…
Thanks (or no thanks, depending on how you look at it) to Sega, every one of the Marvel Phase One films launched alongside a promotional video game that landed on nearly every single device at the time, save one. While Sega had each of the solo heroes rights tied up to make games for, when…
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…
Presently I’m busy playing games and gathering my thoughts on the second chapter of my “Year of Acclaim” feature (something that’s proving to be EXTREMELY difficult), and on top of that I’m brainstorming up some new ideas I’d like to share with you for other parts of the year as well. Starting with: APRIL ULTIMATE…
The relavitely new “Batman: Arkham” franchise is something of an anomloy in today’s video game climate. Normally when a game comes out it’s mere months, or in the case of Assassin’s Creed as of late, right after a new chapter comes out before you’re already hearing about the next installment arriving in a year’s time.…
