Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

This week's DS on DS review is on Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.

From the review: "Ever since I was a little kid, Spider-Man has been my favorite superhero. Now that I have gotten older (since I haven’t actually grown up yet), Spider-Man still ranks up there in the number one position. I have played almost every single Spider-Man game ever made, and I have loved almost all of them. Yes, I even liked Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge. The first really good Spider-Man game, at least in my opinion, was Spider-Man on the PS1, N64, and Dreamcast. That game is one of my all-time favorite Spidey games. Then when the movies game out, the games took a turn to sand-box territory. This was far from a bad thing, but it was starting to feel a little old. Now last year’s Web of Shadows on the consoles was a fun, but flawed, sand-box game. Thankfully, the DS version took the game in a completely different direction. Instead of a free-roaming environment, we got a Metroidvania style game. That formula had been continued with the DS version of Shattered Dimensions."

Batman: The Brave and the Bold

For last week's DS on DS, I reviewed Batman: The Brave and the Bold

From the review: "I don’t know much about the cartoon for Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but if the game is anywhere near the source material, I really need to start watching it. From what I have gathered through the game and a little bit (read: about five minutes worth) of searching, Batman: The Brave and the Bold (not to be confused with The Bold and the Beautiful) nixes the darker tone of the animated Batmen that we are used to. Instead, the series moves closer to the live action days with Adam West. And Batman’s voice is done by Oswald from The Drew Carey Show. I really need to find out when this thing is on TV."

Superheroes in Your Pants

A few weeks ago, I took a special look at Superhero games on the Nintendo DS.

From the post: "Next week brings us the release of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and Nintendo DS, as well as Batman: The Brave and the Bold on the Wii and DS. For those reasons (not to mention I couldn’t make up my mind on what to actually review this week), I am proud to bring you a list of some of the Superhero games that have been released on the Nintendo DS. And no, not all of them on this list are good. This isn’t a Top 10 list, it is more like an awareness list. And yes, most of it is made up of Spider-Man."
