IGN’s Top 10 Best Comic Book Video Games Ever Made
For all the comic book superhero video games released over the years, you’d think there would be more gems in the mix but for a long time, they were quite rare. Thankfully, in more recent years, there has been a ton of fantastic developers who have been given the freedom to really explore why we love these consumed heroes and brought that into the video game world. We’ve collected ten of the best comic book video games that managed to capture our imaginations.
10. TMNT Arcade
Flying out of the sewers and into the action, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Game was one of the first from Konami to bring the fearsome foursome onto the beat em' up scene way back in 1989. That was three years before Konami's other classic X-Men Arcade was brought in, allowing six players to get in on the action at the same time. The Turtle classic had the added benefit of being released around the height of Ninja Turtle fever during the original cartoon series' heyday.
Pokemon Fans Light Up Social Media With #ThankYouGameFreak
If you’ve been paying attention to the last few months of Pokemon news, it’s no secret that the franchise’s fan community is a little concerned about just how innovative Pokemon Sword and Shield will really be. A vocal contingent of the Pokemon fandom has been very critical of developer Game Freak, and have only been spurred on by recent leaks. To put a bow on it, Game Freak decided to cancel their Tokyo launch event for Sword and Shield due to “operational reasons.”
Joker Star Wants to Be a Part of the MCU’s X-Men
Joker has not only become the most profitable comic book movie of all time but it's led to many discussions, story-wise, about what's real and what's not with regards to Arthur Fleck's unreliable narrator status. A centerpiece of this is Zazie Beetz's neighbor character, Sophie, who was crucial to one of the twists in the plot, and whose ultimate fate was left unanswered.
Beetz is also know for playing a big role in another comic book movie, as she was Deadpool 2's super-powered luck machine Domino. Of course, Deadpool is (the R-rated) part of Fox's X-Men universe, but now that Disney's brought the X-Men film rights back to Marvel, and Marvel plans on making an X-Men movie at some point, Beetz has gone on record saying she'd love to play Storm.
The Best Games of 2019 (Didn’t Do Anything New)
Ray tracing, haptic feedback, social strands, surprise mechanics, 8k resolution, “play as anyone”, adaptive triggers, games-as-service, advanced processing units... it never ends with the buzzwords, jfc.
Now, I know we’re supposed to be excited about all this new technology and all these new way to play games, and I’m as likely as the next guy to pre-order a PS5 and/or Xbox... Two? Good-looking games are better than the alternative, no one is arguing that.
Yeah, no thanks
AND YET! Is any of this crap going to make games more fun? Did playing Borderlands 2 in VR make it more enjoyable, or did it make you motion-sick? The Fornite Black Hole event was novel, sure, but Is Season 2 of Fortnite doing anything that “Season 1” wasn’t already doing? Did turning Fallout into a weird MMO social experiment make it more fun than a regular-ass Fallout game would have been?
Endgame’s Captain Marvel vs. Thanos Fight Was a Last Minute Addition
The record-smashing Avengers: Endgame not only capped of 10 years, and three Phases, of Marvel movies, but now Disney is submitting the cast for Oscar consideration.
The film's lengthy final battle, featuring the Avengers vs. 2014 Thanos and his evil horde, has also become a topic of endless exploration. Like how co-writer Christopher Markus recently admitted to the plot hole involving Captain America using Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir.
Uncovering The Matrix 4 Through the Themes of The Matrix Trilogy
"What is the Matrix?"
Twenty years removed from erupting onto screens and carving its rightful place in cinematic history, this question at the heart of Lana and Lily Wachowski's reality-bending trailblazer begs to be reappraised. Unlike Thomas “Neo” Anderson, dimly aware that something was wrong with his world but not quite sure what, we're obviously familiar with the concepts and semiotics behind the Matrix by now. So here’s a better question:
What is the legacy of The Matrix?
After the rapturous acclaim of The Matrix followed by the far more muted reception towards both The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, the reputation of this series overall may be as complicated and divisive as, well, the sequels themselves. However, fans have since become primed and ready for the recently announced fourth Matrix installment, which will see the return of Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and others. Though long rumored, frustratingly little about this sequel has been revealed so far.
Star Wars: Here’s What the First Three Episodes of The Mandalorian Are About
When Disney+ launches on Tuesday, November 12, subscribers will gain access to the first episode of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. Following the premiere, the second episode will drop on November 15, and then afterwards on a weekly (Friday) basis until the finale airs on December 27.
Starring Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Ming-Na Wen, and Taika Waititi (voicing IG-11), The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. Existing at the center of good and evil, the series follows a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
