Batman (1989) on NES was pretty fun. It was quite Ninja Gaiden-y and even though it didn't use the Elfman music, the music in the game, especially the first level was awesome.

X-Men Mutant Apocalypse (1994) on SNES. Not too many people know about this game it seems, was produced by CAPCOM, was a 2-D, one-plane, side-scroller, 1 player beat 'em up with Cyclops, Wolverine, Psylocke, Gambit & Beast. Had the Street Fighter fireball and dragon punch controls to execute special moves. You fight Juggernaut, The Brood and Genosha just to name a few.

Marvel Super Heroes (1995 - Arcade/1997 - PS1, Sega Saturn) Though X-Men: Children of the Atom was good, fun I never got much of a chance to play it growing up as the Arcades died down and the Playstation port took forever to come out, I ended up getting that game after MSH and X-men felt slower, clunky and less polish, probably because it was just a bad port. But the music in both games, were great, the animations were great and I love the use of infinity gems in MSH with Doom & Thanos as bosses. It was interesting to see MARVEL use lesser characters like Blackheart & Shuma-Gorath, who turned out to be my favorite to use in the game.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (2010) I had it on PS3, may have to get it again. But so much fun playing the four different Spider-Men all voiced by a previous Spider-Man voice actor of the various Spider-Man cartoons. Combat was fun, the dialogue and settings were great, especially the Deadpool level. My only complaint - Madame ****ing Web, I hate that ***** no matter where she goes. It was nice to finally play a good Spider-Man game. Cause I wanted to like Web of Shadows but the graphics were bland and flat and the game for me was soooooooooooo buggy.
 
Batman Returns (SNES)

Spider-man/XMEN: Arcade's Revenge (it was bad, but was my Marvel game, so it will be remembered somewhat fondly,)

Batman Begins

Spider-Man 2

Arkham Quadrilogy

Guardians of the Galaxy (iOs)
 
The Adventures of Batman & Robin.

I never had a chance of playing NES game, but Sega version was an ultimate experience for it's time. Fantastic graphics and art based on BTAS, the best music, dark tone, difficulty and length. 2 player mode.

I like Arkham games all right, but I'm a huge fan of Bruce Timm. And enjoying his world with your best pal was the best thing ever.
 
Off the top of my head, Telltale's Walking Dead series and The Wolf Among Us.

I also really enjoyed Spiderman 2, and I feel like Crackdown deserves and honorable mention even though it wasn't directly based off any one comic.
 
Batman Arkham
I believe the latest one will be grand awesomeness, I have confidence in Rocksteady, but since I have not played it then it is not included in this post.
And the Blackgate game is not included here either.

LEGO Marvel Superheroes
My favorite LEGO video game.

LEGO Batman 2
My favorite LEGO Batman game

Spider-Man 3 (The Good Game)
I mean the Treyarch one.
Here's my latest post about it.
I'm apparently one of the very few who loved this game when first played, and still love it.
Just finished it for the 42nd time, I really love it, it feels like having different experience in different gameplays, so this game got better for me after more replays.
I read some comments saying this is a watered down version of Spider-Man 2 from the same developers, I still can't agree with them, Spider-Man 2 obviously did some things in a better and more fun way, but the improvements in this game made it more fun than Spider-Man 2.

Spider-Man 2 (Treyarch)
Of course I mean the good version of the movie game, I can't not include it since it's lots of fun, and paved way to my favorite Spider-Man game.

Spider-Man (PS1)
I mean both games, not the first one on its lonesomeness.

LEGO Batman 1 & 3
My second favorite trilogy of Batman games.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
It's fun, it's fun, it's fun.

Ultimate Spider-Man (Treyarch)
Treyarch made a bunch of good Spider-Man games, and I love them.

Amazing Spider-Man movie games
The second is -overall- a mediocre product, but in general gameplay I think it is more fun than the first.
Both are fun Spider-Man games, after a bunch of games I disliked for a while.
 
Batman Returns (SNES)

Spider-man/XMEN: Arcade's Revenge (it was bad, but was my Marvel game, so it will be remembered somewhat fondly,)

Batman Begins

Spider-Man 2

Arkham Quadrilogy

Guardians of the Galaxy (iOs)

-Want to play that, looks like a fun beat 'em up arcade game and I LOVE those.

-Yes, that game was bad but I get where your coming from.

-I still want to try Batman Begins. I don't recall the reviews being bad, but more not to the critics taste as it was more stealth than action, almost like MGS. That's not a bad thing to me and sounds more in line with Batman anyways.
 
Spider-Man 3 (The Good Game)
I mean the Treyarch one.
Here's my latest post about it.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
It's fun, it's fun, it's fun.


Amazing Spider-Man movie games

Yeah, I had crappy Spider-Man 3 on Wii. Ugh, what horrendous graphics and side missions of a street vendor's fruit pies being stolen. :loco::huh:

The Wolverine game wasn't bad, it was fun, def. felt like Wolverine even though the movie is crap.

I played the first Amazing Spider-Man, wasn't a fan. The fights were decent, the stealth parts could be infuriating though. But I liked the story of helping Dr. Connors while Gwen hates him and Spidey having to mediate it, saying hey that was Lizard not Connors. No intention to play the second one really, unless I found it at a discount price.... maybe. Though I do love the movie it's just I don't want to be disappointed again game wise.

I don't know what's weirder, saving a pie, or just delivering it time.
It's like the balloon task in Spider-Man 2, stupid, unnecessary, but I have fun doing it.

The Wolverine game wasn't bad, it was fun, def. felt like Wolverine even though the movie is crap.
That's where I stand.

It would be best to avoid the second one, it's clunkier than the first, the story is less interesting than the first one, voice over work is mostly underwhelming, and stealth is notably clunkier.
 
Batman: Arkham Asylum
X-Men Legends
X-Men The Arcade Game
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
 
The Arkham series all 3 games, tell tale TWD, Spider-Man Web of Shadows, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, Spider-Man 2, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Lego Marvel Superheroes
 
Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
These games were awesome and they still are. They should have made a third one.

Spider-Man 2

The best open-world Spidey game. Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man 3 were great too but something was lacking.

Batman: Arkham series

Maybe the best superhero games ever made. I haven't played Origins yet but I plan to do it before Arkham Knight gets released.
 
-I still want to try Batman Begins. I don't recall the reviews being bad, but more not to the critics taste as it was more stealth than action, almost like MGS. That's not a bad thing to me and sounds more in line with Batman anyways.

The Begins game is great, kinda feels like a prototype of the Arkham games in some ways, but also has some aspects I feel the Arkham games could benefit from, it's definitely worth playing.
 
I loved the first Spider-Man game on PS1. It had What if? mode and it needs to be in every Marvel game. Spider-Man 1 & 2 movie games were fun especially the first when you could play as Harry as the Goblin as opposed to what they did with him in SM3. Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions was lots of crazy fun with the Noir levels being among the best.

The X-Men game on the Genesis was lots of fun although I never beat it (or got to the 'reset your genesis' trick' or the second one.

Hulk Ultimate Destruction was so much fun for just destroying everything but the actual story was kind of meh.

I only played the first two Arkham games but they were good.
 
Arkham games
Injustice
The Wolf Among Us
Lego Marvel Super Heroes
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Marvel Heroes is surprisingly fun. Also Ducktales and TMNT 2... if those count?:woot:
 
1) Arkham City
2) Arkham Asylum
3) Spider-Man (PSX)
4) Spider-Man 2
5) Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (I want Ultimate!)
6) Injustice: Gods Among Us
7) Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
8) X-Men Origins: Wolverine
9) Lego Marvel
10) Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

All these 10 games I highly enjoy! Especially the Arkham games.

I would love for an Avengers, an X-Men and a Justice League game in third person action (ala Arkham) where you can be all the heroes.
 
The X-Men game on the Genesis was lots of fun although I never beat it (or got to the 'reset your genesis' trick' or the second one.

Was fun cause we didn't know any better and nothing to compare it to but then X-Men: Clone Wars came out for Genesis. Muuuuuuuuuch better.
 
Batman Arkham games
Batman(NES)
Batman Returns(SNES)
Adventures Of Batman & Robin(SNES)
Spider-man 1 & 2 for the PSX
Spider-man 1 & 2(the ones based off the movies)
X-men Legends 1 & 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Injustice
 
I loved Ultimate Alliance 1. UA2 was a let down because the scope was much smaller and the story far less. You went from traveling the universe, from fighting Galactus on the Skrull homeworld to Fighting Loki in Asgard to fighting Doctor Doom with the power of Odin in the first one to... beating up each other and some possessed SPBs in the sequel.

The interactions between characters was great and I used Cyclops so much I called him Godclops because he was so beefed up that he literally could not die unless I left him alone with a horde of enemies for five minutes because his health regenerated so quick.
 
X-men the arcade game
Marvel vs Capcom 2 and 3
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1
X-men Legends 1 and 2
X-men for the Sega Genesis
 
Most of mine have been mentioned already so I'll add a new one (2 I guess); both of the darkness games. Underrated gems if you ask me.

Agreed about hating Madame Web.

I don't think the graphics look bland, but it is so buggy it bugged me for a while.
Superman 64 all day.
You're bold, bruh.
