That small cardboard box, lightly laminated with the gilded gold and black of the Batman insignia resting on the spinning display cage at the nearby video game store. I picked it up, turned it over, looking at the 8-bit digital art on the back. Here was a costumed icon, once confined to the inked pages of a comic book, now mine to control across the misty streets and spires of Gotham City. And as I slid the cart into my recently bought NES, the rapturous joy, and frustration, I experienced left an indelible, unforgettable memory within me.
That old store is now long since closed. That old NES is now long since resting in some landfill. And that glossy little box holding that glossy little Batman game is now long since sold. But the memories remain.
As time wore on, and I experienced the growing arm of the video game landscape, the expectations that this would become a norm slowly ebbed and flowed from genuine surprise and delight, to outright anger and disgust. Because for every Batman, there was the incredibly daft Batman Forever for the SNES. A cart game that, to my knowledge, is the only one in existence…. with load screens. -insert facepalm moment here.-
Over the years I’ve collected my fair share of superhero titles, from the very first Batman, to the most recent being Injustice: Gods Among Us. And I think it time to look back at them, decide which ones were truly Superheroic, which ones were likeable, but still had a lot to learn – much like a Worthy Sidekick – and which ones were the Super-Villains of their own story.
So grab a chair, sit a while, and let’s take a look at 20 Superhero games throughout the years."
Feeling sad and on the verge of splurging on unnecessary stuff? Drop that credit card, amigo and come read about the funniest PS4 games!
I see Deadpool made the list. Also saw it in stock at the local game store. Second hand. Might finally pick up a copy.
NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.
I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.
Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.
And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.
I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.
Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.
We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.
Batman: The Movie (ZX Spectrum), Batman Returns (SNES), Turok 2 (N64) and Arkham Asylum (PS3), all contenders.
