I’m also going to be talking about ten amazing Marvel games. Finally, at long last, I’ve mustered up the strength to do a sequel on the Marvel side with a slight twist. That is to say I had a lot of leftover content. I plugged away on at least fifty games, or so and it was actually difficult to narrow down which ones were funnier to write about.
In fact, two of my first articles published for TheGamer were about awful Marvel and DC games. So it’s very, very easy to make fun of them. If you look back at the true retro era, which is to say the NES and SNES days, consoles were lousy with licensed based games. There have been some standouts on both the DC and Marvel side, but by and large they’re mostly terrible. It’s safe to say that most games based on comic books are pretty bad.
