Once Capcom started making fighting games that pitted their stable of characters against the likes of the X-Men, the Marvel Universe and SNK, cross-overs that seemed impossible suddenly seemed very plausible. Could there eventually be a Marvel Vs. DC? How about Mortal Kombat Vs. Street Fighter? In early 2008, the now defunct Midway surprised many…
When I was growing up and starting my seemingly life long love of video games, I started with the NES, which didn’t have the best track record when it came to licensed games, at least starting out. When I became aware of the X-Men through comics, the animated series, Marvel trading cards and the Toy…
Reboot. It’s a word that gets thrown around a lot nowadays, heck even the beloved 90’s animated series Reboot is getting…umm….rebooted, and to many it’s as dirty a word as the most well-known four letter ones. For every great reinterpreting of a property, like Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, you get a Point Break, Total Recall, Terminator: Genisys, or RoboCop that fail…
The console version of Marvel Puzzle Quest was only unveiled a few weeks ago, and it’s already out today to purchase on both the PlayStation 3 and 4 with cross buy functionality between the two devices.. Microsoft and Xbox fans will be able to download the game on the Xbox 360 as well, however those who traded…
Marvel Puzzle Quest has been on mobile platforms and PC for quite some time now, but like a lot of Marvel video game offerings in that space, you have to have a lot of time and patience to put up with the free-to-play roadblocks that block fun behind pay barriers. Thankfully, not any more. Wayforward,…
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…
2005’s Fantastic Four was a decent action brawler inspired by a movie that was pretty average to mediocre depending on who you ask. In 2007, both the film and video game received a sequel in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer with the movie sticking at Fox Studios while the game property changed hands from Activision and…
The last big comic book movie of the summer is Fox’s first attempt at rebooting their Fantastic Four film franchise. Leading up the movie’s August 7th release, I’m going to look at nearly every Fantastic Four video game all throughout the month of July, culminating in a feature at the end of the month where I’ll rank…
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…
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…
