The best superhero games from Marvel, DC and beyond
The best superhero games from Marvel
For many years, superheroes have been a constant and not only in comic books. These demi-gods have invaded the world of cinema and have been able to carve out an ever larger space within the world of video games. If once we categorized them as simple "tie-ins", a term that players had rightly learned to fear, now the new superhero game of the moment is a full-fledged AAA, like original productions and great known sagas. Whether they are Marvel or DC, the most beloved heroes (and supervillains) in the world are now cleared to the general public and from year to year many video games dedicated to them come out.So let's see which are the best superhero games of the past and present!
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
X-Men - Origins: Wolverine X-Men - Origins: Wolverine is undoubtedly one of the worst Canadian mutant movies for protagonist, yet the tie-in developed by Raven Software is one of the most compelling superhero games. Incredible, right? A small distinction needs to be made, however. There are various versions of X-Men Origins, and we refer to the so-called Uncaged Edition for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, or the PEGI 18 with blood, guts and dismemberments. It may sound a little odd, but Wolverine has been slicing and has been slicing regularly for decades, so the sweetened editions for PlayStation 2 or Wii are the wrong ones. X-Men Origins is only vaguely inspired by the film of the same name, re-proposing themes and situations seen, more than anything else, in comics. It's a third-person action adventure along the lines of Devil May Cry, where the player directly controls Wolverine, of course, and faces off against hordes of enemies, including historical nemeses like Sabretooth or Colonel Stryker. James "Logan" Howlett fans liked it quite a bit, and it remains one of the best third-person action games of that time.Top 10 best superhero games for iPhone and iPad (iOS)
