10 of the Best… Comic Book Games
Spider-Man (PS1, N64, Dreamcast, 2000)
It’s entirely arguable that Spider-Man 2 on PS2 and Gamecube is the better game, but this Spider-Man title paved the way for one of gaming’s most enjoyable comic book tie-ins. All the Spidey staples are here – wall crawling, web slinging and fighting a phenomenal cast of villains, including Venom, Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, Mysterio and most importantly, J. Jonah Jameson.
X-Men: First Class – Trailer released.
So the first trailer for the latest ‘X-Men’ film, ‘X-Men: First Class’ has finally been released on the internet. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, (Kick-Ass), it’s sure to provide the most skillful of action scenes, and superb special effects. Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, Nicholas Hoult, and January Jones, to name but a few, ‘X-men: First Class’ sure looks as if it’s doing it’s best to live up to the previous films and the original comic-book stories. The latest film in the franchise, ‘X-Men: First Class’ goes back to the beginning of the adventure and introduces us to Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, later to be known as Professor X and Magneto, as they come to terms with their newly-discovered powers. For such an anitcipated trailer, I can’t help but feel a little underwhelmed by it. One of the most important way’s to lure in audiences is with your trailer – you make it bold and thrilling and show off as much as you can in it – but somehow this just doesn’t make the film look as exciting as it should be.
