Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot was intended to reinvent Marvel’s First Family with gritty realism. However, it ended up as one of the genre’s biggest disasters . Production troubles, studio interference, and creative clashes resulted in a movie that felt half-finis
Technically none of these characters is Spider-Man; at least not anymore. But during the Identity Crisis mini-series, Spider-Man took up each of these four suits as he was accused of murder with a bounty on his head. Wearing his Spidey suit was out, so he tried each of these out. Each one got discarded and eventually made it into the hands of four teenagers who were inspired by him. The series didn't do very well, but I kind of liked it.
When Marvel over-excitedly put out the original release schedule last May on the heels of Iron Man’s box office success, they were clearly trying to rush these movies into production. And we all know that rush =
This is an interesting version in that the title gives away the entire alternate reality's premise. It's Marvel heroes, if they were apes. It's surprisingly pretty decent, and in this version Spider-Man is now Spider-Monkey. Not surprisingly, he's a spider monkey.
In addition to Marvel: Avengers Alliance , Gazillion has the Super Hero Squad game for the toddlers and they have the upcoming Marvel Heroes MMO on the way, but still now word on a potential retail game based on The Avenge
Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau recently got an "Atta Boy!" from George Lucas. Lucas handpicked Favreau to interview him next weekend at the Four Seasons hotel in Chicago. Favreau will also present Lucas with the Gene Siskel Film Center Visionary Award for Innovation in Filmmaking (...for making one of the greatest sci-fi trilogies of all ti
We previously reported in September 2011 that the license for the characters had reverted back to Marvel - hence, no more Sega - and that they were looking for Spiderman2Mix.Com publishing opportunities from other potential partners. With Jefferson hinting at incoming announcements, perhaps they found some
"We just launched Marvel: Avengers Alliance on Facebook; which is just the tip of the iceberg. This is the first in a much larger effort to support the Avengers franchise across not just one but multiple video game touch points. The Avengers are bigger than just one game, and we’re planning to allow consumers to enjoy The Avengers regardless of their preference in gameplay style or platform. Look for more announcements in the weeks to co
While Iron Man is locking down its character actors, they still haven't got a cast lined up for **Thor ** . The best we have so far are the rumors of Alexander Skarsgård possibly playing Thor , and Josh Harnett playing his mischievous brother Lo
Superhero movies promise spectacle, but even the most powerful heroes can’t save every film from falling short. Over the years, some of the genre’s biggest titles have become infamous for wasted potential, poor storytelling, or baffling creative choices. From misguided Marvel spin-offs to chaotic DC team-ups, these are the superhero movies that crashed hardest after sky-high h
Marvel Pinball is exactly what you would expect from reading the title alone; it's Marvel themed, Pinball fun. You get four different tables, and each table offers something from each of the superheroes it features. Wolverine, Spider-Man, Iron-Man and Blade are your four superheroes with this title, and they also bring along with them some friends. Sabretooth, Silver Samurai, Dr. Octopus, Green Goblin, Mandarin (Whiplash) and Deacon Frost are some of the handful of recognizable characters that you will find on each respective table. Each table is very colorful and quite beautiful, and I'm sure hardcore Marvel fans will enjoy pointing all the little nods to its universe's enormous amount of content. So, how do these tables play, and is it worth your cash to download this title? Read on to find
At GDC this week, The Hollywood Reporter chatted with TQ Jefferson, VP Games Production for Marvel, briefly (and safely) touching on the topic of Sega published Marvel games as well as the problem of licensed movie ga
Critics slammed Fantastic Four ’s pacing, tone and lack of fun. Even Trank publicly disowned the final cut. What could have been a bold reimagining turned into a lifeless origin story that alienated viewers and embarrassed Marvel’s most enduring t
We can thank Sega for the awful, poorly made, over-priced, unfair-to-fans-and-the-industry games including The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Captain America: Super Soldier and Thor: God of Thunder . The Thor game was so bad it made us angry that it was even m
Overall, I feel that this game catered more towards pinball enthusiasts than Marvel fans. Don't be fooled true believers. The novelty of having Marvel characters wears off once you realize that this is in fact a pinball game. It is not only a pinball game, but a pretty challenging one to boot. If you're a pinball fan, by all means this one is for you. If you're not too big into pinball, then chances are you won't be too impressed with this one. This is by all means not a bad game. However, I can't say the same about it not being uninspi
