It’s Looking Bad For Peter Parker In The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Game
As if three movie villains weren’t enough, Electro and the Green Goblin are are joined by the ugliest Kingpin ever, bad-hair-lighting Black Cat and… is that Carnage? Yeah, Parker is screwed. Activision tried to sneak a little Carnage into the trailer, but I can smell a Cleetus a mile away. It helps that I was…

Activision’s Marvel Games Pull A Digital Disappearing Act
You laughed at Deadpool, X-Men Destiny, Spider-Man: Edge of Time and Activision’s other sloppy Marvel games. Bet you feel bad now that they’ve all been pulled from Steam, Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Or not. Either way, they’re gone. Nothing lasts forever, especially Activision contracts for Marvel games, as evidenced by 2010’s disappearance of Marvel…

Here’s Why You Should Never Trust Spider-Man
Dammit, Spider-Man. We can’t rely on you at all any more, can we? On yesterday’s Good Morning America , web slinger Spider-Man failed at something he’s supposed to be amazing at: Catching people who are falling. Like, that’s what he does about a third of the time, and he goes and fails at it live…

‘I Know A Gangster When I See One,’ Says Angry Street Batman

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Trailer Is Way Too Busy
Let’s see, we’ve got emo Harry Osborne, mecha-Rhino, Jamie Foxx as blue raspberry Electro, and Andrew Garfield’s hair. That’s far too many villains for one movie. Did we learn nothing from the lesson of Spider-Man 3? There is far too much going on in this trailer — I can only imagine the chaos that will…

Spider-Man Has the Best Superhero Instagram Picture. Of Course.

Dress Up as the Most Evil Spider-Man This August in Marvel Heroes
Sure, there are already lots of alt-outfits for Spider-Man in Gazillion Entertainment’s click-battle MMO. But this one is Superior. All those wall-crawling suits in Marvel Heroes are basically Peter Parker get-ups. (Ok, yes, Spider-clone Ben Reilly is represented, too.) But, if you like your web-slinger a bit more malevolent and haughty than the original model,…

If Only a Game With Pixel Batman and Pixel Wolverine Actually Existed…
Let us once again reflect on the beauty that comes with limitation. These blocky renderings of world-famous superhero characters manage to convey just what works about each character design, despite the lack of detail that Cyclops, Superman or Spider-Man are usually drawn with. And they leave you craving the next logical step, which would be…
