Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics Review (PS5)
Oh, boy. This is a blast from the past. It was the summer of 1998 (maybe 1999, tough to say – I’m old), and I remember working at Waldensoftware in Fayette Mall in Lexington, Kentucky. Someone had decided that they were going to turn in their Sega Saturn and trade in the import Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. I had a cartridge for my Saturn that would allow me to play imports, because that...[Read More]
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Review
“Be greater.” Sony’s marketing slogan five years ago when Marvel’s Spider-Man launched on PlayStation 4 was a killer, succinct tagline for what would undoubtedly be one of the publisher’s most successful endeavors. But it also captured the web-slinger’s most noteworthy burden of great power and great responsibility. Spider-Man has shown incredible pliability, ac...[Read More]
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
“Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) are Ant-Man and The Wasp. Together, with their families, they explore the Quantum Realm, interact with strange new creatures and embark on an adventure that pushes them beyond what they thought possible.” Ant-Man was one of those comic book characters that I was in disbelief when I heard was going to be made into a film early on in the M...[Read More]

Marvel’s Iron Man VR Review (Meta Quest 2)
It has been about a year and some change since I jumped into the VR world via the PSVR. Using that technology is a chore at times, as there are plenty of wires and hookups to go around. It’s a lovely device, a welcomed addition to the PS4/5 (PS5 if you have the camera adapter) because it works so well, but it’s a pain when you unhook one thing from it and have to figure out what is missing days la...[Read More]
Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Marvel’s Midnight Suns proves the comic book/superhero formula can be successfully applied to almost any scenario. Who would have expected players to be rubbing elbows with Blade and Spider-Man? Or trying to flirt with an Avenger? Would it have really sounded exciting that saving the planet would be determined with careful card selection while players scratched their heads for the best plan ...[Read More]
Thor: Love and Thunder
“In Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Love and Thunder,” the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) teams up with King Valkyrie, Korg and ex-girlfriend-turned-Mighty-Thor Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) to take on a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale).” The Thor franchise itself has had its ups and downs since the original film came out in 2011, with the second film often...[Read More]
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
“Journey into the unknown in Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. When the MCU unlocks the Multiverse, Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) must enlist help from old and new allies as he traverses mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities in order to confront a surprising adversary.” Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was easily one of my most anticipated MCU...[Read More]

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
“Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) must face the past he thought he left behind and confront his father, leader of the dangerous Ten Rings organization.” The next phase of the MCU has taken a much different approach than the original origin stories of The Avengers and the characters that have made up the core of this cinematic universe that has made billions of dollars worldwide. With the expansion of content ...[Read More]
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Batman: Arkham Asylum drew me in years ago to the point where I became intoxicated by the lore surrounding the world’s greatest detective. As a video game setting, Arkham is packed with a strange and detailed history of Batman, one been detailed in decades of comics but one I regardless had avoided. For fans of DC, it was a treasure trove of referential collectibles and discoveries. Despite ...[Read More]
