Spiderman Web of Shadows review

There’s a couple of Spider-Man games I’ve really liked over the years. I enjoyed one way back on the PSOne which had a more linear gameplay style, then there was Neversoft’s one which was more free-roaming round a big city. You could choose which missions to do when in a sort of ‘Grand Theft Arachnid’. Since then they’ve all been a bit samey and based round the movies which almost always never makes for a great game. Fortunately, this game’s not constrained by the likes of Sam Raimi’s last Spidey disaster movie and so has license to play around with...

The Incredible Hulk review

I haven’t seen the new The Incredible Hulk movie, partly due to the fact that I found the Ang Lee one really boring and partly because I’m not sure why we need another movie. Well, another film means another official videogame – but what is there to do with the big green bogeyman that hasn’t already been done? Once again this game puts you in a free environment similar to the Ultimate Destruction game. This time you’re in the Big Apple as you play loosely through the plot of the movie and do lots of other missions along the way....

Iron Man review

Iron Man is the latest Marvel superhero to become a big budget movie and also, inevitably, a videogame to coincide with the film’s release. This is the first time Marvel have had total control over one of their games and unfortunately, the result is rather average. I haven’t seen the film but judging by the cut scenes and story, the game takes you through some scenes from the movie and some brand new scenarios just for the game. If you haven’t seen the film you get a gist of what’s going on but the game doesn’t explain why Stark becomes...

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe

In a surprise announcement that has stunned everyone in gaming circles; Midway have announced their new addition to the Mortal Kombat franchise, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. Teaming up with Warner Bros (the owners of DC Comics), we can expect characters such as Superman and Batman to battle alongside and against current favourites such as Scorpion and Liu Kang. This move will no doubt be a kick in the teeth for the Japanese games studio Capcom who previously partnered with DC Comics to produce their hit game Marvel vs. Capcom. Gore fans will be sad to hear that the game...
