    by Matthew Walker Comic book movies have become as common place in our culture as the video games they are based off. Too often, video games are made to represent the comic books or the feature film adaptation of the characters. Sometimes they work out (Ultimate Spider-Man), most of the time though they don't (Justice League Heroes). Then there's the double whammy of hope and despair with the comic book movie video game.

    Though you can have some split-screen fun with a friend, it's baffling that there is no online cooperative mode. That would have made the $20 price tag a little easier to swallow, but as it stands the price feels a bit greedy.

The impressively animated combat is fun and brutal, and the sumptuous environments provide the perfect pugilistic playground. The... Read more

Yes, Watchmen is one of the best looking downloadable games we’ve seen (even if the lighting takes the murky color palette to nearly opaque darkness), and yes, the voice acting and production values are impressively high-end. Still, paying $20.00 for such a shallow experience just doesn’t seem right. We’d feel better recommending this title at $10 or $15, but $20 is simply too much for such... Read more

    This year sees the 75th birthday of DC Comics and in that time they have certainly helped to shape the comic book industry. The company are responsible for the likes of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel to name just a few. Many of these characters have been made famous, not only in the world of comics, but also on the big screen where nowadays it seems films based on the likes of them are produced on a monthly basis. The latest comic book to cinema... Read more
