Favorite Comic Book Game in Recent Memory

[Commander Jack Rankin]

Arkham Asylum without question.

Eugh? Shattered Dimensions....Nah, it was okay, just not really my cup of tea!

My favourite 'comic book game' has to be the Penny Arcade "Series", I don't know if it counts as a real comic but i loved it!

Sam and Max, i only just got introduced to their stuff but i've fallen head over heels in love with the characters. Also got a hold of the first 2 seasons (games not including hit the road)

I quite likes Spidey: Shatty Dims quite a lot too, if you had enough combos then taking out a room full of guys was rather fun, wailing on the bigger dudes and Noir's stealth sections were less than fun, some of the Spidey's jokes even got the occaisional giggle out of me too. I could not stop laughing during Ultimate's Electro Level.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

The ultimate comic book game, no matter what anyone says (barring DC Universe being a smash hit that topples WoW). Thirty-six Marvel superheroes team up to beat the crap out of Doctor Doom... including Doctor Doom himself!!! I'm not sure how much more comic-book you can get.

That was fantastic! The conversation between the two Dooms was just awesome!

and yeah, I'd have to go with the above, Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

INAFTR Arkham Asylum

I'm surprised by how little praise The Punisher for the PS2 and Xbox gets.

While its far from a great game, every criticism I think of melts away once I blow off a dude's arm with a hand cannon, shove a flame thrower in a dude's mouth, dunk a dude's head into a vat of molten chrome, and/or chuck a dude into the gaping maw of a gigantic snake. There is also a crap ton of variety in this game with the levels ranging from a mansion, a jungle, and even fucking Stark Tower and weapons ranging from auto shotguns, improvised melee weapons, and various objects you can use to, uhh, "Punish" bad guys. Just to top it off, its easily one of the goriest games ever made (even the censored version is pretty brutal).

For a slightly rushed movie cash-in, The Punisher is pretty damn good.

It's actually one of my favorite games of all time. Go figure.

Well mine is The Punisher for the Xbox and PS2. Arkham Asylum comes just under that. Both brilliant games but The Punisher game, while technically no where close to Arkham Asylum in terms of everything... I got more enjoyment out of The Punisher and I've liked it enough to play it more than once.

Same here, I got the 3rd season in the Steam sale because of curiosity, I loved it, so I bought the earlier seasons.

I think it's worse that it made sense! O.O

 

[Super Toast]

Preacher: The Game. Wait, I just imagined that. Oh well.

DAMMIT! Quit reminding me of awesome things that will never happen!

(Then again, I'd really only want to play as The Saint of Killers.)

Which would basically amount to God Mode (it would be totally awesome, though). I'd like to play as Herr Starr. Now that would be a challenge.
