Damian is my favorite Robin by a long shot. Then again, I haven't read a lot of stories that pertain to Robin.

Grayson is cool as Batman, Nightwing, and Agent 37, but I never had much exposure as Robin.

Death in the Family is the only Jason Todd/Robin story I'd ever read, and it wasn't even that great outside of its importance/outcome.

Tim Drake is more or less the Robin I'm most familiar with. All of the Teen Titan stuff has fun, I guess. Red Robin sucks.

Morrison's Batman run was so fucking good that I can't even go back to other Robin books and think much of them. If there are suggested storylines, I'd be into checking them out.

 

Ultimate Alliance, Injustice, Telltale games (Walking Dead, Batman, Fables), Captain America and the Avengers, Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, X-Men, Turok

There have been A LOT of great comic book games.

 

The Darkness games are good comic book games too.

 

The Wii has a good animated Batman game

 

Planning to start playing Overwatch on PS4 (as opposed to PC, as I currently am) is making me miss my old days of playing COD and Halo on console. Considering also picking up COD: IW, BF1, or Titanfall 2. Any recommendation of one over the others? Leaning towards BF1 because of friends that play, but not stuck on it.

 

I was 50/50 on throwing them on there. My brother ate the up, but I never got too into them.

I want to jump back into Overwatch, but I also don't want to abandon another massive RPG. I've been making it about 70% through games and losing interest. The Witcher and Tomb Raider have been the most recent ones. I'm not sure I want FF to fall on that too.

 

Titanfall 2 is insanely fun. The campaign is one of the best shooter campaigns I've played in a long time. Although I've heard great things about Battlefield 1's campaign as well. Titanfall 2's PVP is also incredible. They definitely improved the lackluster progression system from the first game and the shooter action is the pinnacle of this type of game. CODIW feels janky and stiff by comparison to Titanfall 2''s fluidity and frenetic action. I'd say go with either of those over CODIW for sure but since I haven't played Battlefied 1 I can only recommend Titanfall 2 based on experience.

 

The X-Men Legends games and the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games were some of my favorite titles of the PS2 generation. So addicting, so many great characters to play as, just an all-around good time. And Spider-Man 2 was obviously an all-time classic (Spider-Man 3 was not as good but still fun). I also really loved Ultimate Spider-Man on Ps2/Gamecube/Xbox, mostly for the graphics and fun character cameos. It was great to play a Spider-Man game not beholden to a film or the traditional Amazing Spider-Man universe for a change, at the time.

In terms of more recent comic book adaptations, I mean it doesn't get any better than Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. I'd call them the greatest superhero games of all time, easily. I also really enjoyed Arkham Origins and think that its flaws were over-exaggerated simply because Rocksteady didn't make them game. To be frank, looking back on Arkham Knight last year, I actually think I enjoyed Origins more. No forced batmobile combat, no lame predictable twist at the end, the setting (Gotham at Christmas) and plot ( Arkham-verse Batman's first encounter with the Joker) were highly engaging and memorable. It is very unfairly maligned in my opinion.

I have sky-high hopes for Insomniac's Spider-Man game on PS4. We haven't had a truly great Spider-Man game since, arguably, Shattered Dimensions (or longer for those that didn't find that game enjoyable). It's been too long. Also really itching to see what Rocksteady and WB Montreal are working on. Maybe E3 this year.

I will also agree with the positive sentiment toward the LEGO superhero games, particularly LEGO Marvel Superheroes and LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.

 

My point was there aren't any superhero games on this generation.

 

Oh, I thought we were just talking about our favorite superhero licensed games haha

 

Happy to see Origins and Shattered Dimensions get some love. really enjoy both of those games. can't wait for Insomniacs Spider-Man

 

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is one of my favourite superhero games. It's not the prettiest game to look at but I remember having a lot of fun with it.

 

MvC4 is the only comic book game I need.

 

This generation does not have all that many non-indie games in general. It feels like a lot if you want to buy them all but it isn't really. On top of that, most indie titles on the consoles that are flooding the digital stores every week are weird mobile ports and so on. The lack of comic book games is a sympton of that.

 

The Deadpool level alone makes Shattered Dimensions great in my book.

 

I got a whole backlog of games to start during Smite offseason and I only want to play Rocket League and Overwatch.

I'm in love with ranked games.

 

Adventure Time’s Frederator Studios is still working on a Castlevania cartoon

 

I LOVE Adi Shankar and have faith that it could be awesome. The work he has done in the past has been super cool.

 

If this ever comes to fruition it'll be interesting to see what form it takes. Don't exactly know where they'd find a home for the hyper-violent, dark Gothic adaptation that the source material needs/deserves other than on a streaming service. Hopefully Netflix or Hulu picks it up.

 

In the past, he's used youtube as the platform to try things out. He did a Dredd webseries and that hyper violent Power Ranger video. That second one definitely worked out for Saban.

The Dredd video is pretty cool if you have thirty minutes.

 

Might buy the Diablo ultimate edition on PS4 tonight. Didn't realize it has couch co-op which makes it pretty much a no brainer

 

I can get behind ultimate alliance and the Xmen legends games. Haven't played Telltale Batman but based on their history I'll give you that one too. Injustice and Turok are bad though. Haven't played Scott Pilgrim and Captain America.

 

Telltale Batman definitely still has some of their engine issues. It's absurd they need to fix that, but the game is entirely worth it because the storytelling is fantastic and absolutely makes it worth it.

 

Got back into Diablo on PS4 today, still love the hell out of that game/version. I never really fooled around with Crusader after RoS came out, just played the new act with the classes I already had leveled so it's been fun playing a totally new class.

 

youtube clickbait is weird
