FOG Review: Spider-Man (PS1)
“Friday Old Games” is a series of articles in which we review a game from the older generations of consoles, share why we picked it, and whether or not it holds up with time.
After being framed for a crime he didn’t commit, Spider-Man has to fight to clear his name and save the city. To do this he’ll have to take on super villains that any Spidey fan will immediately recognize and appreciate, like Venom, the Rhino, Scorpion, and Carnage.
This is the premise of the original Playstation Spider-Man. No movie tie-in, just a super hero game for the sake of having a super hero game.
There are a number of secrets to find, costumes to unlock (some of which upgrade his abilities) and comics littered throughout the game.
Review: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii)
Video games based off popular Marvel and DC Super Heroes have always been kind of a Russian roulette of aweful. You never quite know if the game you are about to check out is a decent title, or if you are about to be lured into a van and molested by another Superman 64. Fortunately, with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 the chamber appears to be empty.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 follows, or at least tries to follow, both the “Secret War” and “Civil War” story lines. I say “tries” because about halfway into “Civil War”, Vicarious Visions decided that the original story was insufficient and needed to be changed.
Game Ideas: Marvel Football
"Are you ready for some Football?!"
I don’t think this one could replace Madden at the top of the charts but I think a combination of super heroes and sports could be awesome. Picture the Avengers playing the X-Men in a football game. On Defense, Wolverine is lined up as a defensive lineman, with Cyclops playing free safety. Colossus is a linebacker, and the other X-Men fill out the rest of the defense. Offense has Captain America as the Quarterback, Luke Cage at Fullback, Ms. Marvel at Wide Receiver, Thor is an Offensive Lineman, and other Avengers fill out the rest of the offense.
