Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (2010) – Xbox 360, PS3<\/strong><\/h3>\nSpider-Man has had his fair share of video games over years. While they have generally turned out\u2026 alright, none had managed to capture the depth and variety that the multiple Spiden-Man<\/em> universes have to offer.<\/p>\nThat was until we got Shattered Dimensions<\/em>, a story revolving around an ancient tablet that is accidentally shattered by none other than Spidey himself.<\/p>\nEach piece of the tablet is distributed into four different dimensions, namely Amazing, Ultimate, 2099 and Noir.<\/p>\n
The game allowed players to dive into each of these incredible universes, each with their own glorious visual style, and hunt down the pieces.<\/p>\n
Shattered Dimensions<\/em>\u00a0showed what a more focused and direct story-driven game can achieve. While the game might have its shortcomings, it\u2019s definitely one of the best Spidey games out there.<\/p>\n![\"Spiderman](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Spiderman-Shattered-Dimensions.jpg\")

Deadpool (2013) – PS3, Xbox 360, PC<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt’s rare that a game that sets out to be funny actually ends up being, you know, funny,\u00a0but High Moon Studios’ Deadpool<\/em> absolutely hit its mark.<\/p>\nSay what you want about Deadpool<\/em>, but the third-person hack-and-slash drops you into the red-and-black boots of the Merc with a Mouth and lets you loose on hordes of disposable, meat-filled enemies in a raucous, bloody action game, and if that’s not ‘Deadpool’, then we don’t know what is.<\/p>\nThe combat does get a little stale by the time the credits roll, but it’s more than made up for by a stellar script and wonderful comedy.<\/p>\n

Batman: Arkham City (2011) – Xbox 360, PS3, PC<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhile Arkham Knight<\/em> is a fitting conclusion to the Arkham<\/em> trilogy, its predecessor,\u00a0Arkham City<\/em>, is where Rocksteady really hit the nail on the head.<\/p>\nExpanding from the fantastic Arkham Asylum<\/em> origin, Arkham City<\/em> featured a bigger open-world environment, which branched out of Gotham\u2019s infamous prison and into a large portion of Gotham itself, and gave players an unparalleled sense of freedom with the Dark Knight.<\/p>\nEnemy AI also got a good upgrade and the repetitive gargoyle-lined rooms which made enemy encounters predictable were turned upside-down.<\/p>\n
Each situation and location posed a new challenge in Arkham City<\/em>, and the boss battles are still\u00a0some of the most memorable of the series.<\/p>\n![\"Batman](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Batman-Arkham-City.jpg\")

X-Men Origins: Wolverine \u2013 Uncaged Edition (2009) – PS3, Xbox 360<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen an X-Men Origins: Wolverine<\/em> game was announced, we expected the toned-down\u00a0PG-13 Wolverine<\/em> we saw on the big-screen,\u00a0but the game adaptation turned out to be the\u00a0goriest, uncensored and most brutally beautiful Wolverine<\/em> game to date.<\/p>\nIt featured some of the best\u00a0dismemberment we\u00a0ever laid our uncorrupted eyes on\u00a0– after all, this was from the guys who made Soldier of Fortune<\/em>.<\/p>\nThe game showed what super-hero games should be all about – platforming, puzzles and most importantly, combat.<\/p>\n
Not becoming too attached to its cinematic counterpart and instead incorporating Wolverine\u2019s comic-book brutality and animalistic attributes is what made the game exceed expectations.<\/p>\n

InFamous 2 (2011) – PS3<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhile not based on any pre-existing fiction, InFamous 2<\/em> holds strong as one of the best superhero games, and possibly, one of the best superhero stories.<\/p>\nLike Arkham City<\/em>, InFamous 2<\/em> improved on Cole McGrath\u2019s first adventure \u2013 an origin story about a bike courier who gains electrical powers after a bomb blast.<\/p>\nInFamous 2<\/em> managed to deliver a strong open-world action game, but more importantly, used a gameplay karma system to engage the player in what it would be like to suddenly gain super powers, and deal with the consequences that follow.<\/p>\nIt’s a brilliant experience that thrives in all departments.<\/p>\n
