Why It’s Not Higher: Because Activision and porting developer Zoe Mode totally screwed up the PC ports, that’s why. There’s local and online co-op too which makes this a truly attractive package. The storylines cover a Silver Age-esque cheesy pulp-fest in the first game to the more modern and famous Civil War storyline for the second game, so both are worth playing although the first game has the edge in fun. Basically they’re top-down dungeon-crawlers with 3-4 characters to choose between and they bring in every hero and villain from the Marvel Universe, all playable and all with their own special powers. Why It’s Here: Most console owners will be shocked this isn’t higher as they’re (easily) arguably the top two best Marvel games ever on your Exboxers and your Playerstationers. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2ĭeveloper/Publisher: Raven Software/Vicarious Visions, Activision This was only a friggin’ Xbox 360/PS3 game! What’s that? It requires Games For Windows? Oh, that’ll be why then. And that’s even before you consider all the loops you have to go through to get the game running on a modern PC. Why It’s Not Higher: The individual missions themselves were a little boring, the story merely okay, but most importantly: the PC port was atrocious. With many faces from the wider Marvel universe (such as Wolverine) mixed in with the traditional Spider-Man open-world New York scenario along with a fun Venom symbiote-based storyline, this would be the last time until the awful Amazing Spider-Man tie-ins that Spider-Man would have total freedom. No movie license to tie it to means the game wasn’t rushed into existence. Why It’s Here: When all’s said and done, Web of Shadows might be considered the last good Spider-Man game. Spider-Man: Web Of Shadowsĭeveloper/Publisher: Shaba Games, Activision The PC version however is the same thing except you can’t play it at a bus stop. It’s utterly great on mobile, free-to-play, impossible to put down. It’s unbelievably satisfying and one of the hardest to put down puzzle games around… Matching tiles charges up a hero’s or villain’s powers so you can unleash them on your opponents and either weaken them or take them out. The “means” being “defeating all the enemies in the Marvel universe you can name”, and the “end” being “getting all your favourite Marvel characters on your side to fight with you”. Wait, don’t lynch us yet! It’s actually obscenely addictive, with the Match-3 part just a means to an end. Why It’s Here: Without a doubt the Marvel game we personally put the most hours into, Marvel Puzzle Quest is a Match-3 puzzle game with Marvel characters.
